Sales basics for security installers

March 2024 News & Events

Let us be honest. Being the best security business in South Africa means little if no one uses your services. Your business success is only partly linked to how good you are at security installations. The rest is down to how well you sell it to your customers.

Security businesses that master the sales process can see an increase in revenue of up to 28%.

Selling is about understanding your customer, building trust, and solving their problems. A process helps you do that more effectively and efficiently so you can sell more, to more, with less.

In this article, blox explores the basics of sales and how they help you to take your security business to the next level. Issues discussed include:

• Embracing a sales mindset: From security worker to salesperson.

• Understanding the security service's sales process: From lead to customer.

• The power of reporting: Measuring your success.

• Crafting your brand: Selling yourself.

• Going above and beyond: Exceeding customer expectations.

• Staying connected: Why keeping in touch with your clients matters.

• Master sales to boost your security business.
