Select Security Creates Customer-Focused “Select Direct” Department

Lancaster, Williamsport, and Altoona, PA - Nov. 3, 2008 - After four successful acquisitions in 2008 and earning a coveted spot on the SDM Top 100, Select Security took another step forward with the creation of “Select Direct.” Operating internally, the department’s efforts will be external as it will reach out to existing and potential clients in an effort to serve and educate.

“It is exciting to know that the service we provide protects and saves lives. Our goal is to share this service at an even higher level with an even greater number of people,” says Matt Self, who worked with Patrick Egan on creating the department. An initial objective of Select Direct is to form an inside team of people capable of conveying the mission themes of service and education. Team members will receive extensive initial and continual industry training as trends change and/or technology improves, and will pass that information along to clients. Additionally, the team will support the outside sales staff with lead generation and qualification. In conjunction with “Select Direct,” Select Security unveiled an interactive website that allows consumers to learn about the company, available products, and security-related information. Visitors will now have the ability to communicate via the website, whether expressing interest in purchasing a system or commenting on the web-log (blog).

Matt Self, Sales and Marketing Coordinator and co-developer of Select Direct, joined Select Security in August 2008, and recently served three years as Vice President of Sales and Support for a Real Estate Internet marketing company. He holds a Bachelors Degree in Education and a Masters degree in Sport Management, and both schools of thought will be well represented in the department. “Teamwork, training, and friendly competition are key to building a successful department. Count on Select Direct having plenty of each.”

Select Security Goes Green with the Purchase of New Vehicles

Lancaster, PA, July 18, 2008 - Select Security is going green! With the cost of gasoline on the rise, President Patrick Egan purchased nine, brand new Chevy HHR’s for our installation department. With an estimated 30 MPG (miles per gallon), these vehicles will allow us to decrease both fuel usage and costs.

Company-wide, our technicians travel an approximate 500,000 miles per year throughout Central Pennsylvania. Our prior fleet of vans had a 15 MPG rating, and the HHR will allow us to cut our fuel intake by half. Most of our HHR’s are on the road now and will be distributed among our three offices in the near future.

In addition to purchasing a more fuel-efficient vehicle, we have also researched and implemented methods of weight reduction in the vehicle, including lighter equipment packaging and light weight ladders and shelving units. The combination of increased MPG and decreased weight wll allow for better gas mileage now and as gasoline prices increase.

According to Mr. Egan, “It only seems reasonable that any company with a fleet like ours would look to lower their fuel costs and provide for a better environment at the same time.”

“Going Green” has several aspects, and is measured by the immediate or residual impact of our products and/or practices. Increasing our miles per gallon and lessening the load weight will help reduce carbon dioxide emissions from tailpipes, cut fuel consumption and make driving more affordable for our company.

Select Security services customers in Greater Central Pennsylvania with offices in Lancaster, Williamsport and Altoona. Fuel shortages are a nationwide concern and minimizing our use will be a benefit to both our cost accounting and to the country.
