Do you have more money or more time?
I don't know about you, but when it comes to alarm work I don't need the
practice, I need the money.
I wouldn't offer free monitoring, I'd offer something different. How about a
free alarm system check up. If another company has merged or gone out of
business, that could be enough to make a customer start thinking about their
alarm. If you offer a free system check up, it might be the connection the
customer wants to make to feel good about their system once again and will
call you.
