Security
Naturally people want to make sure their property and loved ones are safe and secure. IP cameras and video doorbells provide peace of mind by enabling you to see what’s happening at any given time, while smart door locks let you control who’s coming and going.
- Monitor your property right from your mobile phone.
- Receive a notification and snapshot when there is activity outside.
- Visible cameras help deter mischief and crime.
- See who is at the door and get notified when a package is dropped off.
- Give individuals their own smart door lock code and know when they are coming and going.
When it comes to security, a pro is the way to go. Make sure your customer understands the benefits of using a professionally installed system versus a DIY solution.

Audio Streaming
Music makes everything better, and if your customer is spending significant time at home, they’re likely listening to more music than ever. Now is a good time to follow up with past customers and ask them if there is anything they need, remind them you are a resource to them.
While checking in on their network or security system, consider talking to them about how they are staying entertained. Discover what their preferred music experience would be. Explain to them that when a system is designed by a pro and integrated with whole-home control, delivering synchronized, high-resolution music throughout the home is easy. With support from their favorite streaming services and our wide range of audio brands and products to choose from, you can provide an audio experience worth showing off when the time comes.
