Crestron’s list of companies with certified programmers
They used to list this when searching for dealers, why don’t they do it anymore?

You could always inquire with the RSM who covers your vertical market and get some sort of mangled guess and no real answer, but it's ok because they'll buy you lunch.
They've changed their listings quite a bit over the years.
They probably just want to have a closer relationship with their customers and take a more hands on approach. Which is a good thing. Beats the hell out of a yearly PPT, InfoComm meeting, and "buy Crestron."

Who cares about certifications? All that matters is how many white boxes you sell, hence the list of Platinum Elite Dealers when you click the how to buy page.

This is the real answer. Crestron makes $1000/year off CAIP’s, they make millions a year off elite dealers. The best way to get referral work is to buddy up with your local Crestron rep

Eh Crestron benefits from well programmed systems.
They send clients to us for programming all the time.

They do benefit, but the only time they value well programmed systems is when they are threatened with a lawsuit by an end-user who has a poorly programmed system. Crestron doesn't give two shits about poorly programmed systems as long as there isn't a threat of a lawsuit.

Eh...we don't get called in for cleanup too often. We get recommended to large clients by name from Crestron during the initial stages of a project.

The main reason was for bid requirements, we’ve been beat out of 3 pretty large bids now, but I’m pretty sure the winning company doesn’t have a certified guy (required by bid spec). My boss is looking into it, but i remember it used to be listed.

Because with OS3 who needs programmers?
Sorry, I meant to say technologist... or whatever they said at Masters last year.
