Franchise owner's testimonials
"Having over twenty years in the loss prevention/security profession, I was ready for a change. MonitorClosely.com was a perfect fit for me, since I had spent most of my career purchasing and recommending camera systems. MonitorClosely.com has a great product line with competitive pricing to go along with their uniqueness in the industry. That is what convinced me that this was the right business for me to own and operate. Owning my territory for just shy of one year, I have found their corporate staff to be phenomenal in helping me with all of my needs as well as my customers' needs. As this industry continues to develop and be in more demand, MonitorClosely.com is at the forefront with the changes that are demanded and the personnel in place to support a great and growing company."
Jeff Stein, owner of MonitorClosely.com Southeastern, PA.
"Getting involved in 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 MonitorClosely.com provides is second to none. The cost to develop the calibre of marketing tools and programmes 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 go above and beyond and give 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 programmes, 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."
Steve Busch, owner of MonitorClosely.com Atlantic City
