Are Free Security Systems
Taking You for a Ride?
Nothing in life comes free
these days. This is a basic fact of life.
While good marketing and advertising skills
bemuse the naïve buyer, there is always a
payout to be made at the end of the deal.
In many cases, the unwary buyer coughs up
much more than the sales agent
offered to give. Importantly, as peace of
mind is desirable at any cost, it would be
worth one’s while to buy into a good
security system.
There is a saying that the
devil is in the detail. Always, always read
the fine print and between the lines at the
implied nuances in the language. Discuss
the specifics of the clauses for the time
line of the monitoring and the
equipment.
Make it a point to check
out the competition. Utilize their numerous
offers and sales people to negotiate a
better deal for yourself. As all services
provided must suit the specific needs of a
client, get the company to tailor the
security contracts to your
requirements.
Be very wary of `free
offers’. Do not compromise on the type of
equipment or service for the sake of the
deal. Ask probing questions to elicit the
information that is required by you to make
an informed decision. Also, be very certain
of what is being purchased as well as
installed, in order for you to know of any
hidden costs and limit the expenditure to
only what is necessary.
While the business has
people who are above board in their
dealings, many sales agents are in the line
of work for the commissions - the bigger
the deal, the larger the commission is for
him. The area where most companies make
their money is on the fees levied for the
service and monitoring each month. Ensure
that the cost is commensurate for the
services provided as the last thing anyone
needs is to get security for the home and
business which feels like a burden.
