MonitorClosely.com Franchisees & Surveillance Franchise Owners Testimonials

“Getting involved in the security business selling digital surveillance equipment was appealing to me because I experienced the competition first hand and I knew that there could be a better solution for the consumer. I was looking for a surveillance system for one of my other businesses and found that there was not a professional company providing digital surveillance equipment for small and medium sized businesses and doing it right. We discovered that MonitorClosely.com’s equipment, prices, focus on customer service, and professional marketing materials was filling the void. Even though we all had vast business experience, we choose to go with a franchise verses starting our own surveillance business simply because the marketing that MonitorClosley.com provides is second to none. The cost to develop the caliber of marketing tools and programs that the company already has developed would be extremely expensive. We also felt that as the franchise grows nationally, our location will benefit from brand recognition. The support from the corporate office has been outstanding! The staff goes above and beyond and gives us individual attention from designing signage to technical support. Everyone has gone out of his or her way to aid in our success. The franchise features that we have taken advantage of most have been the marketing programs, legal contracts/documents, and tech. support. This gives my team more time to focus on sales. We are now working towards expanding our franchise location into multiple territories.”

“After starting and operating a couple of businesses you learn what expenses and time stealers to avoid in a new startup. After reviewing several options, I realized the things that were the biggest time stealers were actually offered through the franchisor such as marketing material, support staff, and training of the marketplace and product. Even after paying the royalties, it was a better investment than hiring a staff and creating my own marketing materials. To have a support staff in-house and to develop all the marketing, the right way, is a huge expense that small business owners don’t always consider. So my business model looked a lot better when I plugged in the franchise cost vs. a stand-alone start up. The MonitorClosely.com security franchise has been what I expected, GREAT! I did a lot of research before signing up with the company and after my visits and some test scenarios, I felt MonitorClosely.com would deliver what they said they would, and so far they have in every area. I mentioned a promotional idea and Denise Donahue jumped in and put it all together with a great look. I would have paid thousands to a marketing agency to develop the same piece. A couple of times I needed to get quick help and I mentioned it to Tom Wein and he had it taken care of that same day. Everyone there has gone out of his or her way to make me successful. The marketing material is what got me to visit MonitorClosely.com in the first place and the support kept me. I did a lot of research before starting and I found no one offering the customer service and great products like MonitorClosely.com. My son AJ coordinates our installs, and if he has any questions he knows all he has to do is call the 24/7 technical support line and he gets immediate help and answers. The security and surveillance industry is experiencing rapid growth. On every bid I have submitted thus far, I have been either the best price or right in the ballpark and once the customer sees our company’s commitment to service, I get the sale. I am seeing about an 85% closing rate. The only regret I have so far is that we didn’t get started sooner!”

“I was looking for a reasonably priced franchise opportunity that had good market potential. In addition to the concept I chose MonitorClosely.com because of how they stood out from the Security and Surveillance competition. MonitorClosely.com has strong, professional marketing tools that are readily available. These tools work for me and with me in my sales efforts. The staff at MonitorClosely.com is always there for guidance as I grow my security business. This has been invaluable especially in the start-up phase of my franchise. ”
