Generating more recurring monthly revenue (RMR) is extremely important for installing electronic security companies. So, what are some ways security firms can increase their RMR?
SSI shares a few tips on how company execs can generate more revenue in the “Making More Money With Monitored Security Services” article, and it notes that the principal method to create that business is through monitored services.
If your firm, like many others out there, does not have an in-house central station, it’s essential to create a partnership with a competent third-party central station that can meet your specific needs.
Because there are a lot of factors to consider when making that wholesale monitoring choice (i.e., customer service, portfolio of technologies and services, certifications, alarm management techniques and pricing to name a few), it is imperative for dealers and integrators select the best provider to help the firm with new opportunities in alarm communications, video and access control monitoring, home controls and energy management, PERS, weather alerts, and interactive and mobile-enabled services.
Following is only a sample of 10 third-party central stations that provide a wide range of monitoring services:
- Acadian Monitoring Services
- Affiliated Monitoring
- All American Monitoring
- COPS Monitoring
- EMERgency24
- Monitor America
- Monitronics Int’l
