Northern Sound & Light Receives Multiple Awards

MCKEES ROCKS—Northern Sound & Light (NSL) recently received the 2004 Special Achievement Award for the Eastern Region from manufacturer Sennheiser USA and the 2004 Dealer of Excellence Award for the Ohio Valley/Western Pennsylvania region from rep firm Techrep Marketing.

The 2004 Special Achievement from Sennheiser was awarded to NSL for their continued sales support of the Sennheiser brand and product line. This regional award is given to dealers who show exemplary effort in sales and support. “NSL is a strong channel partner who puts in the extra effort on behalf of their customers,” said Mark Humrichouser, Eastern region sales manager, professional products, for Sennheiser. “The NSL team always works closely with our team at company headquarters to solve any customer issues. NSL has been a strong supporter of Sennheiser since the beginning of the company; we look forward to continuing that relationship as NSL expands its presence beyond the Eastern region.”

The Dealer of Excellence Award is given to Techrep dealers who go above and beyond in sales growth and who offer outstanding sales, service and support of Techrep’s linecard, including Sennheiser, Neumann, QSC, PreSonus, Genelec, Hear Technologies, Monster Cable, and Turbosound.

“In a competitive environment, NSL puts technology to work for them. Steve [Raslevich, founder and president of NSL] has used the Internet to market his business to some very web-savvy and tech-savvy customers,” said Ted Bahas, CEO of Techrep Marketing. “He has figured out how to harmonize an Internet presence with a brick-and-mortar facility, which is not an easy or simple task.”

Due to increasing growth, NSL recently added to its full-time customer service support staff to upkeep their commitment to the best customer service in the industry. NSL currently supports product lines from fifty professional audio and lighting manufacturers.
