“ESX is special because executive leadership from integrator companies can come and learn about new educational tracks,” Jackie explains. “They will also have extremely meaningful and deep conversations with many different vendors. Additionally, having a show like ESX, which focuses strictly on RMR, or recurring monthly revenue, is so vital because RMR is key for a healthy organization.”

Brian Bucholtz

“Integrators should attend ESX if they’re interested in establishing an RMR map for several reasons,” Scott explains. “First of all, it’s low-hanging fruit that they’re simply leaving off the table. It’s an opportunity not only to gain additional revenue, but also to gain additional revenue resources and to provide services that make your customers sticky and more likely to stay with you. But most importantly, if our customers don’t have inspection, service, or monitoring agreements, we are doing a disservice to the communities and customers we serve.”
