We are a privately held, family-owned business that prides itself
on providing personalized service to our customers. Owner Ken Jezioro
understands customers’ needs because he founded SHIELD Security Systems after experiencing a burglary at his own home. He was so frustrated by
the limited number of affordable security options that he built his own.
Ken used his prior experience in law enforcement and electronic
security to establish the SHIELD Security Systems brand. Our unique
background, commitment to clients, customized security solutions and
lack of long-term contracts are unmatched in the industry. We are
looking for people like you who share our vision and want to grow their
own security company.
THIS IS NOT A FRANCHISE
THIS IS A DEALERSHIP
It's very easy to get on board as a MY-ALARM Dealer. If your specific market area is available, MY-ALARM has 3 basic
requirements to start selling and earning. -Absolutely no pending, current or previous felonious convictions. -Complete the MY-ALARM required equipment training. (about 4 hours via on-line webinar) -Purchase , and activate service, at Dealer level pricing, at least three of our systems, any
combination, (for training and demonstration).
OPTION -A
(select any combination of 3 systems)
Simon XT Base System.. $378.00
My-See Video Camera...$194.00
GPS Tracking System....$189.00
Systems Activations....$75.00
Monthly Service $ 00.00*
(Inclusive of)
Training (for all 3 systems regardless of
selection) Web Page & Set Up, Protected
Market Territory, Lead Referrals. All
Marketing Material & Support
OPTION-B**
We offer an equipment and service
leasing option for less cash outlay.
(this can be helpful with cash flow
on new ventures). Our leasing option
offers very lenient qualification guidelines.
Terms are for 36 months and require $125.00
down and $125.00 per month. Dealer receives
one each of all system types & 36 months of
service is included.
Using a Conservative Build-up of Adding One
Additional Sale per Month for a 12 Month Period,
Dealer's Monthly Profit Would Be In Excess of $1100.00
This does NOT include Payments made to Dealer (you)for Equipment sold.
