On this week’s podcast, Hank Alexander joins us to discuss his role as director of Nationwide Marketing Group’s Oasys Residential Technology Group and its impressive progress this year in its “Drive to 1,000” members.

Oasys, a custom electronics and installation network inside of Nationwide Marketing Group, is the newest and fastest growing group in the CI business now with 300 members to date.
