[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3939881, member: 44288"] Back about 20 years ago ADT created little satellite offices with Ma and Pa Alarm Company and they assisted them getting clientele and a discount for pieces/parts/monitoring. Then when old Ma and Pa got to be pretty good sized ADT bought them out for a few million, sent them on a trip to Cancun for their trouble and took over all their accounts. It was cheaper than ADT doing all the business themselves and it kept the sullied ADT name out of the business I saw it happen over and over. Whoever thought that scheme up was brilliant. The alarm business community was a kind of closed loop when it came to technicians. Once trained, you could go to any company and work. If they torqued you off, you could have another job that same day. [/QUOTE]
