We've got 2 more videos in this series (#11 Systems and #12 Hiring)! I hope that it has been helpful to anyone who's looking to start or has recently started a security guard company. It's tough but totally doable with the right strategies! Good luck!

Dang. Number 1 was the toughest thing for me to deal with my first year.

@Officerreports 4 года назад

I know what you mean. Unfortunately, there are lots of companies who've been stuck with just 1 customer because they've been unable to "escape" their first customer. It's tough to work a post and grow your business. But there was a time that I worked a post and worked the office. How I did it was by working 2 doubles (0700 - 2300) on Sat and Sun so I could get back in the office on Monday morning. 😅We do what we have to do.

This is very important for the new year being able to make sure that the best way to get the best way is to have Insurance in your own Employees so that Payroll is always Funded.

Wrong an owner should work a post to better understand what is needed on that post

So if you get a contract that’s when you start recruiting to avoid working it yourself? Also how does subcontracting work in terms of pricing and what the subcontractor is required to do?

@Officerreports 4 года назад

I would actually start recruiting BEFORE you get the contract. The biggest mistake that you can make is getting the wrong person on the contract. Start recruiting and get a long list of people that you'd like to work with. I know, it will be a little uncomfortable telling people that you don't have a contract yet. But it's better being uncomfortable before you get the contract, instead of being uncomfortable in a room with your client after one of your employees has done something not too smart. If you are going to be subcontracting, those terms are worked out case-by-case. The subcontractor will need to fill all the requirements that the prime has to fill. The prime wins a bid based on the proposal and security plan that they present, so the subcontractor would also be required to meet the requirements.

@vulturesecurityfacilityser719 3 года назад

Sir website its required or only can we use social media to develop the business pls let us know. thanks

@Officerreports 3 года назад

Great question. I believe both are required. Your website is a place for prospective customers to learn more about you while social media gives you a voice and is what sends people to your website. I hope that makes sense.

I really wish this video was out in 2010 when I started my first security company. I may have been able to save it :(

@Officerreports 3 года назад

Sorry to hear that David. Managing a security guard company is a TOUGH job. Ever think about trying it again?

@davidjmathena 3 года назад

@@Officerreports I have been watching your videos and was actually planning another go, but just this morning was offered the job of a lifetime as a security director in Boca Raton, Florida! Super hyped about the opportunity, but will never live down the regret of shutting down my first company :(

@Officerreports 3 года назад

CONGRATS David! There are many paths to get where you want or need to be. Let's keep in touch...and if you need security guard management software as the new security director don't forget about us. :-D

Any Templates on sales pitch

@Officerreports 3 года назад

Unfortunately, no templates on a sales pitch but we'll think about doing a video on the topic.

@avidlearnersacademy 2 года назад

Informative minus the toilet flushing in each video.

@Officerreports 2 года назад

LOL! It's one of our favorite b-roll clips. But we'll take it into advisement. 😋

@nakayegaglenda7801 4 года назад

Can you be my mentor please?

@Officerreports 4 года назад

Unfortunately, I don't do mentorships for companies in the security guard industry because of the conflict of interests. I'd definitely be open to talking you through any questions that you might have.
