I continued my partnership with Audio Center by being the IT provider for many cutting-edge projects we delivered together. EBNetworX was truly a boutique shop, focused on customer service, ongoing support, and some very high-end computer gear. Our business verticals included many small to medium garment trade import merchants, when Chabanel street was the hub of the Schmatta business of Montreal. Yes, I wrote the word, because it meant so much to my fledgling IT support company startup. I was able to help so many of these garment importers modernize their business practices from being on the phone and sending faxes to the orient at all times of the day to being able to send an email, having a website up and getting computerized with an ERP. We sold and maintained not only small business networks but also focused on high end residential computer networks. We designed and installed fully structured wired and wifi networks in prestige residential homes that rivalled some corporate deployments. We were recognized and supported by Microsoft at the time as one of the only e-home certified vendors in Montreal, selling Microsoft Windows Media Centres and home servers. White glove customer service was at the core of our offering, establishing long term relationships with clients, many of them I still serve to this day. Show less

I started at the Audio Center selling consumer audio/video in the late 80’s when home theatres were just about to be a thing. I moved up the sales ranks from a floor salesman to the custom project division where we designed and deployed some of the most complex, elaborate and beautiful residential home automation projects at the time.

I moved up the sales ranks from a floor salesman to the custom project division where we designed and deployed some of the most complex, elaborate and beautiful residential home automation projects at the time. Audio Center Montreal was a high-end Audio/Video retail stores that had some of the most prestigious product lines. Some of the best sales professionals I know, started their careers there. Audio Center was at the right place, doing the right thing at the right time. They trained their sales staff as true corporate level sales professionals, employing all the best sales training systems including Dale Carnegie, Xerox sales, Counsellor Selling. The corporate culture was results-driven teamwork, we truly were better than the sum of our individual parts. I had experience with computers from a young age and knew the future would include computers and I brought in computer networking tech into our audio and video projects in the early 90’s. I opened a branch retail store in 1995 called: the Multi-Media Center. We sold and integrated computer networks into residential projects and some commercial sites. The integration of new technologies into the home theatre, home audio and business applications (such as early video conferencing boardrooms) was the theme of this store, it was ahead of its time. We installed many computers as media servers in residential home theatres before this was to be a common practice just a few years hence. The size of those libraries pales in comparison to what is available today but at the time, it was so new and exciting to have thousands of songs, instantly available. This shift represented what was to come. Show less
