The DNA for Growing Your Business

With new disruptors, technologies and generational influences, it’s more important than ever to recognize and increase visibility in your company differentials. Understanding the “DNA” of your company will help you provide compelling reasons others should work for and with you. At the 2018 TMA Annual Meeting, TMA will present a panel of experts to help you leverage the DNA of your company for growth and success.

What you can expect from The DNA for Growing Your Business? “Lots of substance!” says Cathy Rempel, President, American Security Integrators and The Summit Group, who will moderate. “We won’t just be talking about what is happening in the industry. You’ll be getting information you can take back to your office and put to work!” Rempel will be joined by John Cerasuolo, President/CEO, ADS; Tom Few, VP Business Development, Vivint, Inc.; and Robert Few, Managing Partner, The Connection Xchange.

“The DNA of your company is the culture and values that permeate every aspect of the business – hiring, evaluating, promoting, transitioning and growing,” continues Rempel. “You have to know who you are, what you’re doing, where you’re going and how to get there to advance effectively and efficiently. Change and growth is first and foremost about people – you may find that the transition of your company also becomes the transformation of you and your people.”

“My fellow panelists and I will not just be the chefs discussing the latest recipe for advancing your business,” says Rempel. “We’ll take you into the kitchen and work alongside of you to make it!”

The Police Dispatch Quality (PDQ) Award program targets the alarm management issue by recognizing those installing and monitoring companies that follow established industry practices and partner with law enforcement to achieve the highest quality in minimizing police dispatch requests. It was established jointly in 2005 by the Security Industry Alarm Coalition (SIAC), False Alarm Reduction Association (FARA) and SECURITY SALES & INTEGRATION, and now also officially endorsed by the Installation Quality (IQ) program and sponsored by Honeywell.

ADS has been a leader in dispatch reduction efforts for over two decades. They were one of the very first companies to appoint a staff position to review the previous day’s dispatches, call customers, determine corrective actions required and apply the necessary resources to resolve the issue.

The goal of the PDQ program is to raise industry-wide awareness, motivate alarm companies to be proactive and provide models that work for others to follow. TMA thanks and congratulates Alarm Detection Systems of Aurora, IL!
