Alvaro Sandoval

Bio

Alvaro has been in the Audio Video design space since 2012 and has worked with businesses in a variety of sizes and markets. Currently serving as Marketing Director for the largest home automation design firm in the Palm Springs area, while also acting as a consultant for home automation firms in the Chicago, Denver, and LA areas, and even being on the board of two mission-driven startups.. it seems that he does everything he can to help business owners and communities around the world to increase their own impact. Coming in to the home design technology space with an existing AV marketing background is a rarity in the industry, so today we’re going to ask him a few questions to better understand common issues with the way Audio/Video, lighting design, interior designs, architectural and other design firms typically try to build out their sales and marketing systems.

Topics

How to move from “order taker” to trusted designer, without trying to be a social media influencer and without having to hire on an internal marketing team.
The disconnect between luxury AV firms and the client experience they’re providing. (Selling high ticket items alone does not make a business “luxury” level.)

Questions

What is the most overlooked piece of the marketing puzzle that, if business owners did this, it would make the most results in the shortest amount of time?
You’ve been able to simplify marketing from being this expensive and difficult process to something simple, that doesn’t require a huge budget, but that is still very effective. Can you tell us more about what makes up your specific system and shed some light on the marketing strategy you use for your clients?

Michelle Harris

Bio

Michelle Harris has over 25 years of leadership experience with more than half of that time spent at an executive level in high-growth, private equity backed companies. She founded Bosstrack to provide women, new to leadership roles, with the development, support and mentorship she found lacking for new leaders.

Her niche is building high performing teams – she is passionate about developing people and shaping her teams to produce results and grow in their roles.

Often little thought is given to the new tools and perspectives needed to lead and, as a result, new leaders are expected to just “figure things out”. Bosstrack was developed to fill this gap. She has led her teams through financial reorganizations, acquisitions and multi-billion dollar private equity sales. She is

excited to bring this opportunity to new women leaders!

Michelle was a single mom at the age of 19 who took a small break from college to adjust and then moved back to the Philadelphia area to finish college independently with her 1 ½ year old son.

Her determination and resilience along with her passion for continuous learning is a big factor in her rise in leadership so early. When not working to empower women leaders, you can find Michelle in the water, in a photography studio or at a new restaurant. She enjoys photography, scuba diving, free diving, enjoying food and wine and exploring new places. She is a mom to two and wife of a former Marine.

Michelle is also the host of the podcast Her Hype Squad with Bosstrack.
