Franchisee Marty Williams, Lousiville, KY states, "The MonitorClosely.com franchise has been what I expected, Great! I did a lot of research before signing up with the company and after my visits and some test scenarios, I felt MonitorClosely.com would deliver what they said they would, and so far they have in every area. I mentioned a promotional idea and Denise Donahue jumped in and put it all together with a great look. I would have paid thousands to a marketing agency to develop the same piece. A couple of times I needed to get quick help and I mentioned it to Tom Wein, the company's President, and he had it taken care of that same day. Everyone there has gone out of his or her way to make me successful. The security and surveillance industry is experiencing rapid growth. On every bid I have submitted thus far, I have been either the best price or right in the ballpark and once the customer understands our company\'s commitment to service, I get the sale. I am seeing about an 85% closing rate. The only regret I have so far is that we didn\'t get started sooner!"
