CEO - Manny Chavez Proud of his Team Subject: Dinasty Security Prevent Potential Fire Disaster through Quick Thinking and Proactive Measures Two security guards, Kendrick Cerna and Juan Jaime, demonstrated exceptional vigilance and swift action that helped prevent a potential fire disaster at their post on Sunday evening. Their quick thinking and adherence to proper procedures highlight the crucial role of attentive security personnel in maintaining a safe and secure environment. Kendrick Cerna, upon hearing a suspicious knocking sound around 7:00 pm, trusted his instincts and decided to investigate further. Together with his colleague, Juan Jaime, they assessed the situation, documented it with photographs, and promptly informed their supervisor, Adriana. Following her guidance, they contacted a manager who instructed them to close the doors, ultimately leading to the discovery and containment of the fire before it could escalate. Meanwhile, Juan Jaime, on foot patrol, noticed the distinct smell of smoke. He immediately alerted Kendrick, and they took the necessary steps to document the incident. After contacting their supervisor and receiving further instructions, they secured the area by opening gates and facilitating their manager's access to the scene. Juan's keen sense of smell and quick response played a vital role in identifying the fire early and taking appropriate precautions. Both guards commended the support they received from their supervisor, Adriana, and other company officials. They credited their training and situational awareness for preparing them to handle such incidents, even if they were not directly related to typical security issues like break-ins. The company's prompt response and clear instructions enabled them to act decisively and prevent a potentially catastrophic event. This experience has strengthened the guards' commitment to their roles as security professionals. As Kendrick Cerna stated, "As a guard, you have to be ready for anything." They emphasized the importance of prompt reporting and seeking assistance, acknowledging that delays could have led to a more severe outcome. Both guards expressed gratification in knowing their actions helped protect the client's business and underscored the significance of situational awareness in their work. Juan Jaime added, "Just the gratification I received was enough for me to know it was very important for them. If any of this was not reported, who knows what would've happened."

By Chris Anderson When you approach a security company with a product, think of it like writing a prescription. You're there to improve their business, leveraging your firsthand experience, your empathy — it's as if you've been through 'medical school' for their industry. For the sales folks out there, I understand that grasping the nuances of your clients' needs can be challenging, but it's achievable with time and experience. Imagine talking to clients eager for information about your software; it's critical to unravel their pain points and the pleasures that drive them to engage with you. It's more than presenting a tool; it's about offering a comprehensive package, including unwavering support and a dedication to customer success. In my Silvertrac days, the first 20 minutes with a client were sacred. It was a deep dive to discover not just what they wanted, but who they were. The caller could be a busy operations person collecting quotes or the owner directly involved in seeking solutions to streamline their processes — differentiating this was crucial. It was vital to communicate a profound understanding of their challenges and assure them we were taking baby steps towards a solution. The security business is hectic, and owners often take on more than they can handle. They're seeking relief for pain points that they might not openly acknowledge due to the competitive nature of the market. Building an emotional connection was my edge. By speaking their language, I stood shoulder to shoulder with them on an even playing field. This wasn't about selling; it was about guiding them through their journey, ensuring they didn't bite off more than they could chew with our product. I encouraged my team to be people persons, not numbers people. We prioritized being there for our customers, supporting them, and cutting costs where possible. As a security owner myself, I resonated with the trials of purchasing software and yearned for a partner who truly understood my business.
