Will I install a Burglar Alarm System?

With people getting desperate amid an economic crisis and a rising crime rate, does it necessary means that you will take the proactive step of installing an alarm system? The answer is unfortunately NO!

Burglar alarm system is very much like insurance. Many people don’t see it as a high priority need. They don’t need it the way they need food, water or other daily conveniences like mobile phones, holidays or new clothes.

Hence nobody wake up one fine morning and suddenly decide to install an alarm system. What typically happens is some intervening events, be it a burglary in the neighbourhood or his home, to start him thinking and deciding to install one.

I have been to homes and offices which had been broken into, where my challenge lies not in explaining why they need the system, but why we can’t install immediately. Such was their sense of urgency.

What a contrast to the normal experience where even after we had spent much time explaining and discussing the benefits and why they should act, the client normally will still want to think about it. I have met a client who thought nothing about spending tens of thousands on chandeliers and lighting, but hesitated and thought long and hard about installing an alarm system.

So I thought it would be intesting to share the top 10 reasons people gave on why they don’t need an alarm system.

Watch for it…
