An Independent Manufacturer’s Representative Since 1959

The company's origin and the experience of its Principals can be traced back to 1959 when founding principal, Marvin Grossman started the first of four Manufacturers' Representative organizations. Throughout the 1960's and 1970's the company then called Electronics Marketing, Inc. represented consumer electronic products. Most notable was the company’s sixteen-year partnership with Pioneer Electronics a consumer electronics powerhouse.

Chris Greco joined Electronics Marketing in 1977 and was initially tasked with the development and implementation of product training curriculum, later Mr. Greco’s roll was expanded to include the creation and deployment of market building events and promotions. Mr. Greco soon moved into a sales management role and was responsible for sales of key product lines including; Pioneer Stereo, HyGain (are you old enough to remember CB radios), DBX, Phase Linear and United Audio (how about turntables or record players?).

In the late 1970's and well into the mid 1980's Mr. Grossman led the firm into new markets with the formation of two new firms, Computer Products Marketing, Inc (CPMI) and Peripheral Software Marketing, Inc (PSMI) which focused on the then emerging computer products  & telecommunications marketplace.  Representing major product lines including; Apple Computer, Sony, Polaroid, Truevision, Sharp & Kodak the rep firm was once again in the unique position to develop business, to create sales channels where none had previously existed. The firm developed and implemented new methods and tools that ultimately established long-lasting and successful sales channels, with the skills and strengths required to quickly capture market share.

In 1982 Intelligent Marketing, Inc (IMI) was founded and Chris Greco was selected to serve as the firms President. IMI's sales and marketing focus was dedicated to the development of systems integrators, consultants, distributors, security dealers, sound and video contractors, and OEM's.

As Intelligent Marketing's line card and geographic market expanded, Mr. Greco recognized the need for an expanded management team and ultimately a durable succession plan.  Alan Roseman was recruited to join the firm in 1999 bringing with him a dozen years of experience in finance and sales management, most recently as Director of North American Sales for Tyco Video Products.

Today, IMI is one of the leading U.S. firms specializing in the technical sales and marketing of commercial security and sound products.  IMI’s team of over 20 sales and support people provide comprehensive coverage of the nineteen States along the eastern seaboard.
