Buford, GA – 11/23/2022 – This month marks 40 years of service in the mobile electronics industry for Scott Hochmuth. His career can be traced back to Atlanta’s Southside where Turtle Records and Tapes employed him as assistant manager. Not only did Scott thrive in his position, but he was exposed to more than just vinyl, cassettes, and 8-track tapes. He was introduced to a wide variety of music and broadened his love for good quality sound.

Scott jumped at the chance to gain more industry knowledge and take control of his paycheck through commission sales by joining Atlanta HiFi chain, Stereo Village, in November of 1982. Stereo Village sold car audio and home audio and video. Most of the action here could be found in the 10×10 car audio room and there is where Scott had to quickly learn how to sell car audio. Scott’s competitive nature and no-nonsense approach to helping customers find the right fit for their needs in an honest and matter-of-fact manner set the tone for decades of integrity and character seen in his relationships with dealers today.

His prowess made him an excellent choice for store manager at American Radio a few years later. His store was a test location for Rockford Fosgate and Scott was one of the first in GA to attend the Rockford Technical Training Institute in Phoenix AZ, which was then taught by Ron Trout. This training elevated Scott’s knowledge base and catapulted him above the competition in Georgia. He was building ported enclosures and passive crossovers when everyone else was still doing a deck and four speakers.

Scott names Lindsay Davis with CMA sales as an early mentor. Davis was Scott’s Alpine rep at Stereo Village and the person he saw living an enviable dream in the industry. Scott was ready to pursue the rep life and opportunity struck in 1989 with Fultron Car Audio and their sister company Fulmer helmets. Scott was still in his 20s and found himself surrounded by men with decades of experience. The youngster had to prove himself and landed at the right place at exactly the right time. During his tenure, Fultron became Memphis Car Audio and he was there for the explosive growth that followed. Scott excelled in this position and earned many awards including “Top Salesman” for the Memphis brand, the Fulmer Helmet brand, and for overall sales.

At the end of 2015, when Scott’s position with Memphis came to an abrupt end, he decided to start his own rep firm. Real Performance Marketing (RPM) was a startup out of nothing. He built his company from scratch depending on credit cards for a very lean first year. In year two, he broke even. By year three, he was turning a profit and paying off the debt. The next five years saw much change, growth, and expansion for Scott and RPM.

Today, Real Performance Marketing is a team of four outside reps, an inside rep, and an office manager representing 20 lines in the Mobile Electronics and Powersports industries covering the entire Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. Scott feels very blessed to have such an amazing team to work with every day. He loves what he gets to do for a living and plans on continuing to work as a rep for at least another 20 years. Not bad for a guy who has been in the industry since the 8-track.

MARRERO LA (11.22.22) The New Orleans suburb of Marrero was the place to be for car audio enthusiasts on Saturday, November 19th. The company’s annual Pre-Black Friday event offered great deals of up to 60% off, raffles plus food food and refreshments.

In addition demo vehicles were set up in the parking lot from top Extreme Car Audio suppliers. Alpine, Rockford Fosgate, Sony, AAMP of America and Morel reps had their demo vehicles set in the parking lot on the very busy thoroughfare corner. Throughout the day consumers had a chance to take a seat to experience the amazing systems and check out the custom installations.

Ace Truong, Extreme Car Audio’s very proactive owner stated, “Every year we look forward to our Pre-Black Friday event to really get the holiday sales season kicked off. Unfortunately this past Saturday the weather did not cooperate as it was cold and rainy. This is really our first cold snap of the year and many people were kind of hibernating. That said, the traffic that we had at the store was certainly quality. Customers took seats in the vendor demo cars with reps and really had first hand chances to hear some of the very best systems on the planet.”

Jimmy Chaffee, area Alpine rep was in the house with an Alpine demo vehicle under the tent. “Consumers who took the Alpine ‘ride’ were very impressed with the could and learned about the in-vehicle connectivity offered by Alpine. We also definitely planted some seeds for future business for Ace at Extreme Car Audio.”

Chris Brinkley was in the house with the AAMP pickup for demos and connectivity products under the AAMP umbrella of brands. “It was great to support Ace and his team. The weather definitely slowed the traffic at event. That said we did open eyes with the possibilities of adding 12volt gear to vehicles for those who sat in the passenger seat.”

David Toliver, Synergy Marketing Agency, had the company’s decked out Avalanche set up showcasing Morel gear, Dynamat, Audiomobile, MUSWAY and Lucas Lighting. It is always so cool when a consumer takes a seat in the Avalanche. The custom installation is amazing and customers eyes get so wide when they hear the great sound. Lighting is a hot category and the Lucas Lighting products got a lot of attention. In fact some local patrol officers can in and bought some lights. They commented how important it is to seem on patrol at night. They also took advantage of extra discounts Ace offers to law enforcement.”

Shawn Simpson, Momentum Marketing, was on site with a Rockford Fosgate demo vehicle. Simpson related “The event was successful in spite of the weather. There were 7+ demo vehicles showcasing the work that could be done as well as the lines that Extreme offers in the market. Consumers received a raffle ticket for every demo vehicle they listen to. On every hour is he held a raffle for a piece of merchandise. Ace also had it catered by local chef and all the food was delicious. Ace really put together a fantastic, well organized event. I look forward to working together with the team at Extreme audio for years to come.

Sony car audio was in the house with the demo ES Mobile Tacoma pickup with Richard Wong behind the wheel.

Concluding Ace related “Nothing we could do about the weather. We did not sell as much as past years but it was terrific to visit with our reps, provide consumer demos and importantly plant seeds for future business. Marketing is a continuing process that requires daily attention for future grow. A big thank you to our vendors on site Alpine, Rockford Fosgate, Sony, AAMP and David with Synergy Marketing and his brands.”
