MEA hosts retail owners and managers roundtable during COVID-19 crisis

Last week, Mobile Electronics Association held an industry roundtable online for retail owners and managers, led by Chris Cook, president of MEA. Panelists and attendees focused on how the industry can move through this difficult challenge together. The call was attended by at least 125 people. Panelists included Tomas Keenan of Top Class Installations in New York; Jason Kranitz, CEO of Kingpin University; Bryan Schmitt, CEO of Mobile Solutions; and Andy Wehmeyer, CEO of Audiofrog.

During the meeting, Cook said he hopes to hold similar roundtables in future weeks with different panelists, including those who’ve taught at KnowledgeFest and those who have not. Attendees discussed staying safe during the spread of COVID-19, what defines an “essential business” and how to use downtime to focus on strengthening the structure of the business.

Panelists urged business owners and managers to work on the structure of their businesses, and keep in touch with clients using newsletters and social media. Other industry conferences have taken place online, as well, in which businesses have discussed ways of moving through this difficult challenge.
