This year was certainly a different story.<\/p>\n<p>The opening category of the night was \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.namm.org\/summer\/2016\/articles\/namm-congratulates-top-100-dealers-and-recognizes\">Best Store Design<\/a>,\u201d and the nominees were presented in alphabetical order. Contemporary Music Center was the first name announced, and it was then that the night took on a life of its own. Steelwood Guitar Shop won the category this year for a wonderfully unique and clever store design.\u00a0 The third category was for \u201cBest Marketing and Sales Promotion,\u201d and this year that category went to CMC\u2026and the rest of our night was a completely overwhelming and unique experience.<\/p>\n<p>From the second you are announced as a category winner, your night changes dramatically. What everyone in the audience sees is the short interview on stage, and then the winner is escorted off. \u00a0What isn\u2019t seen is the experience the dealer has backstage after he or she has won.\u00a0 One second after you finish on stage, you are escorted off stage, and as you pass through the curtains, you are greeted, congratulated, and directed.\u00a0 First, you exchange the stage trophy for your engraved trophy, then you are directed through a second curtain and are guided to the Top 100 \u201cstep and repeat\u201d banner.<\/p>\n<p>You are overwhelmed with congratulatory comments, and waiting to greet you at the banner is NAMM\u2019s President Joe Lamond, along with NAMM\u2019s Chairman Mark Goff. \u00a0\u00a0Publicity photos are taken, and after a wonderful celebratory moment, you are escorted to do a short filmed interview with NAMM\u2019s professional crew. Then the second you finish your interview, you are escorted back to the ballroom, and you return to your table. Keep in mind the evening\u2019s events are still going on.<\/p>\n<p>Where our night was turned inside out and became completely crazy was the moment when we won our second category: \u201cMusic Makes a Difference. \u201c\u00a0 No sooner had we returned to our table when the category was announced, and CMC was the winner. \u00a0Again we ran the drill\u2026but this time it all seemed larger than life as the excitement level had certainly escalated. Then the \u201cDealer of the Year\u201d category finalists were announced. \u00a0All three finalists in this category were extremely qualified to win, and all three have had a big impact on the music retail industry. Then it happened &#8211; the announcer called out the name of the winner for the NAMM \u201cDealer of the Year\u201d:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ContemporaryMusicCenter\/?fref=ts\">Contemporary Music Center<\/a>! \u00a0From that second forward, our world has been completely and wonderfully crazy.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest takeaway for me personally is the chance that it has provided to reflect on the quality of all the friendships that people in our industry make over the years. Everyone you know takes extra care to make sure they express congratulations, and then they share kind thoughts about the offering you have brought to the music industry.<\/p>\n<p>Winning \u201cDealer of the Year\u201d makes you humbly reflect upon all of the steps it takes to capture that moment.\u00a0 You recognize how extremely qualified all the Top 100 dealers are; yet, you grasp with great clarity how honored you are to represent that group as the one who froze time for one second in your career and got the industry\u2019s nod as Namm\u2019s \u201cDealer of the Year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img
