I have just seen a great article on LinkedIn<\/a> from entrepreneur, James Caan. It’s all about what the world’s most successful people have in common.<\/p>\n

Embracing these is going to help a Fire & Security director to become more successful too.<\/p>\n

Here goes:<\/p>\n

1. Adapt to change<\/h3>\n

Any business coach will tell you that there are 7 words they dread to hear from any director<\/p>\n

But we’ve always done it this way<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Fire & Security industry is becoming more and more competitive. To stand out from the crowd you have to take on the latest technology,<\/p>\n

And you do. For the Fire & Security equipment that you install.<\/p>\n

Sadly, that forward-thinking attitude doesn’t always extend to your sales and marketing.<\/p>\n

Fire & Security directors tell us that they get as much as 80% of their work through referrals. But to be even more successful, it’s not enough to rely on word of mouth.<\/p>\n

Ready to reach new customers<\/a> in both the domestic and commercial markets?<\/p>\n

You need to be social selling on Facebook and LinkedIn.<\/p>\n

2. Have a mentor<\/h3>\n

Behind every successful sports star there is a coach. And it’s no different for great business people. This independent expert fills in any gaps in knowledge and experience. And gives an unbiased perspective on what’s happening with your company.<\/p>\n

But you’ve got to be able to listen and to implement the sage advice.<\/p>\n

Since Lollipop became part of a regular Mastermind group, our business has changed completely. And it’s the best thing we ever did.<\/p>\n

3. Break down barriers<\/h3>\n

In business, many of the most successful companies do something so well that it \u2013 to some degree \u2013 changes the landscape of the industry, taking the market in a new direction. In other words, they break down barriers, by entering new markets, developing new products and services, and generally think outside the box.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Disruption is key to any successful business. Think Uber and AirBNB. <\/p>\n

Are you doing something so innovative that you stand head and shoulders above other Fire & Security installers? Or are you just one of the crowd?<\/p>\n

Hundreds of conversations with successful Fire & Security directors told us that many of you are fed up with agencies. They charge expensive retainer fees and insist on long term contracts.<\/p>\n

You felt that you were taking all the risks. Whilst your marketing agency were rewarded even if they didn’t bring in new leads.<\/p>\n
