DALLAS, TX (04.12.24) – The SSR University 1.2 event, focused on “The Retail Experience,” held in Dallas Wednesday evening drew a very engaged audience.
“Paul Galanos, our Director of Marketing and Training, truly shined during the session. His engaging delivery and comprehensive explanation of the entire sales process, from the retail parking lot to greeting the customer, making the sale all the way to establishing lasting customer relationships, left everyone impressed” Tracy Farr, SSR Distributors VP of Sales ad Operations stated.
Paul Galanos presenting ‘The Retail Experience’ SSR University 1.2 session at the SSR Dallas location early Wednesday evening.
The April 10th session kicked off at 6:30 and wrapped at 8:30 with a break midway was time for attendees to enjoy a selection of sandwiches, sides and refreshments.
“The Retail Experience in Dallas was yet another successful installment from Season One of this groundbreaking venture by SSR Distributors. The horrific weather earlier in the day didn’t stop local business owners and their respective staff members from participating. The Retail Experience outlines the retail environment from the customers point of view. Often times in retail sales, much emphasis is applied to procedure and tactic with little or no attention paid to how the average customer responds to the quality of their visit” Galanos commented.
Tracy Farr holds his certificate from the SSR University Dallas session 1.1 in his office following the March 6th launch.
Seasoned sales trainer Galanos successfully opened the eyes of dealers with one goal in mind….to consider the retail experience from the customers point of view. Caring for customers from the cradle to grave is the objective that is widely missed across the brick and mortar landscape.
“Through vivid examples and interactive role-plays, Paul kept the audience thoroughly entertained and involved. I’m thrilled to report that the event was a resounding success. It’s clear that these training sessions are not just an investment in our customers but also a testament to SSR’s unwavering commitment to providing value and excellence in every interaction. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making SSR University 1.2 a memorable and an impactful experience. Let’s continue to prioritize our customers’ needs and ensure that these training sessions remain invaluable to our team” Farr concluded.

STILLWATER, OK (04.11.24) – SkillsUSA prepares students for the workforce and students in the Mobile Electronics Division will compete for recognition at the National Competition in Atlanta. The conference will be held at the Georgia World Conference Center in Atlanta and attract over 6500 competitors in 110 competitions.
KICKER Audio is a strong supporter of the SkillsUSA initiative. Aaron Malin, TECH Force Global Training Manager, has participated in previous SkillsUSA National Conferences. Malin and Jacob Luckey, KICKER Global Trainer, will be headed to Atlanta for the 2024 Skills USA Conference June 26th and 27th.
Aaron Malin (L) and Jacob Lucky working with students at the 2023 competition in Stillwater.
On Thursday, April 11th, the local SkillsUSA Mobile Electronics Installation competition takes place at the Meridian Technology Center in Stillwater OK, Malin will be on site as students prepare to showcase their installation and communication skills to judges The stakes are high with only three winning spots available for the State high school and secondary/college level competition.
“Each student prepares to perform to their best abilities for the judges. Some of the stations include soldering, wiring speakers and identifying components. Students will be judged on their proficiency in those particular skills and only the top four were chosen to go to state competitions” Malin stated..
Jacob Lucky constructed this amplifier installation and tuning test rig for the SkillsUSA contest. He built four of them and will provide basic plans and discounted products will be provided for schools that want to build their own.
SkillsUSA works to bring motivated individuals to the workforce and teach them lifelong skills. There are local, state and national competitions with 53 states participating, according to SkillsUSA.org. Its mission is to empower its members to become world-class workers, leaders and responsible American citizens.
The 12-volt industry is in need of more sharp-minded employees to bring new ideas to the table. The overall employment of mobile electronics installers and technicians is projected to show little to no change from 2021 to 2031, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics years.
Jacob Luckey built this subwoofer wiring test station. Four were built for the contest and they will be used at the state championships as well. After the state contest all eight rigs will be shipped to Atlanta where they will be utilized for the national competition this year and beyond.
“We hear from retailers on a regular basis that they cannot find qualified people to hire,” related Malin. “Take out qualified… they can’t find people to hire.” Malin will again be one of the judges for the National SkillsUSA competition and has been judging for three years. Malin added that many of the students are put in a position where they can find a suitable job by participating in SkillsUSA National Conference.
Through SkillsUSA, students have the opportunity to learn valuable lessons and make lifelong friends. “It is always exciting when you see the ‘lightbulb’ moment as something really clicks in the mind of a student,” Malin said. “The ‘ah hah!’ that lets you know they really got it! Last year at the national competition in Atlanta, one young man was so excited to introduce me to his mom and siblings after we really connected during his job interview competition. He experienced my admiration and his family’s proud moment, all at the same time.”
The Upcoming SkillsUSA Oklahoma State Conference in Tulsa will be a chance for local champions to compete for a spot at Nationals.
“Students not only receive valuable skills from these events, but also priceless communication skills. From difficult interviews, to speaking with industry professionals and presenting their skills they also learn difficult communication skills” stated Chris Jack, Technical Chairperson for mobile electronics installation, for SkillsUSA. “My father always said that “I don’t care if you’re going to wipe up dirt off the floor, wear a suit and tie to an interview…no matter what it’s for.”
Concluding Malin commented “The12volt industry needs workers more than ever, and SkillsUSA helps to ensure that they are proficient in their trade. I would like to encourage other 12-volt industry members and manufacturers to get involved with SkillsUSA at their local, state and national level. As an industry, we need those young men and women to join us in our very exciting and quickly evolving industry.”
