Re: Question about buying alarm accounts

["Mr.Double-sided tape" <alarminstall@xxxxxxx>]

Save your money. There's no need to buy existing accounts.
Those accounts will run you close to $50,000.00 and the law of averages
says at least 20% of them are crap. Rather than blow 50k on someone
else's headache use it to fund equipment/overhead on new accounts.
If you really want to make some money just have Bob Campbell set you up
as an area rep in his Loxxon Authorized Dealer territory.
