Greg Coon One of Top 100 Producers

Every year, AV Video and Multimedia Magazine selects the Top 100 Audio/Visual Producers in the nation. This year, Greg Coon, owner of Eyecon Video Productions from Dallas was given the huge honor of being chosen as one of these 100.

"The Top 100 was launched as a way to recognize and honor those producers whose notable achievements have made their colleagues stand up and take notice. Selected from hundreds of nominations, these talented, hardworking and creative individuals come from many different walks of life, but share one thing - a never ending quest for excellence and a tremendous passion for their work. It is the dedication of producers like these that has shaped and grown this industry, making it the exciting work place it is today," said AV Video Magazine in their November 1998 issue.

"To be selected to stand with the best of the best is an incredible honor", said Greg Coon. Eyecon's owner also describes why he thinks he was chosen: " I think it was mostly because of the way we've grown our business, how we've been able to maintain a satisfied client base, and our work with charity.

The main thing that keeps Eyecon Video apart from the rest is the attention to customer service. Eyecon Video is set up to be able to handle customer requests with short notice.

"The key," according to Greg Coon, "is to treat your customers as you would like to be treated yourself. Be nice, respectful, and give the customer more than they expect."
