What are they?

CSAA is pleased to announce that it has partnered with DMG and GraybeardsRUs to present "The Success System For Business Planning" symposium for the industry’s best independent alarm dealers.

This groundbreaking Graybeards’ symposium covers ideas on how to best develop and implement key business strategies and disciplines within an individual organization.

Seminar creators Ron Davis & Dorsie Mosher have held lifetime industry leadership positions in the fields of education, private business, and alarm business development. These individuals, along with seven industry leaders in the fields of industry law, management, operations and finance, will impart the latest information required by today’s alarm and security professionals to create a predictable and attainable business plan.


Who should attend?

Company CEOs, owner/operators and general managers, plus financial, operations or marketing senior managers will gain the information needed to reach higher levels of performance and value in their respective corporate positions.


Why should you attend?

If you asked the CEOs of the Top 100 security companies the advice our industry is most desperately seeking, their response would invariably be: "Where do we go from here?"

Information, education, ideas and clearly-defined action steps are on the minds of most executives who are navigating the future of their companies through new and uncharted waters.

Since the Davis Marketing Group (DMG) conducted its first educational seminar in 1974, the composition of our industry and its challenges have evolved to new heights, but the need for independent alarm dealers to receive continued education has not.

That’s exactly why CSAA and The Graybeards have teamed up to present "The Success System For Business Planning" symposium for the industry’s best independent alarm dealers.

The Graybeards symposium, "The Success System For Business Planning," represents a quantum leap in the thinking and information needed to reap success throughout the next decade, and will help bring your company’s future potential clearly into focus.

It’s your future.
We’ll help you get there.


What will be taught?

In the security industry, the disciplines of effective management include the following:

THE LAW - And its applications in the security industry
