Eventually, word spread throughout Greystar&rsquo;s 40 offices, and in 2015, Greystar selected Signal 88 as its nationally exclusive security provider.

&ldquo;Our relationship with Greystar, which is one of our larger national accounts, was born through our franchise owners in South Carolina,&rdquo; said Justin Unrau, Director of National Accounts for Signal 88. &ldquo;We provided professional, valuable services in South Carolina, and the people at Greystar loved them so much that they decided to extend the relationship to properties across the country.&rdquo;

Founded on the belief that safety and the peace of mind that comes with it is a basic human right and need, Signal 88 has distinguished itself from its competitors and won national accounts like Greystar that provide business to Signal 88&rsquo;s network of franchisees.

&ldquo;The corporate team massages relationships with national clients behind the scenes and then we educate our franchisees about opportunities to work with them,&rdquo; Unrau said. &ldquo;We work hard to help our franchise owners forge great relationships with our national clients.&rdquo;

Unrau said franchise owners also play a critical role in strengthening Signal 88&rsquo;s partnerships with its national clients. For example, the number of Walmart locations Signal 88 serves has increased by 65 percent since the end of 2017 due to the company&rsquo;s dedication to customer service, brand standards, and attention to detail.

&ldquo;National clients like Walmart are looking for consistency and uniformity in the security services they receive, which is one of the great advantages of our franchise model,&rdquo; Unrau said. &ldquo;We are seeing more opportunities to serve Walmart stores because our franchise owners offer services that rise above the competition. Store owners are impressed and put in a good word with higher-ups who decide it would be great to have our services not only at one location, but hundreds.&rdquo;

Although Signal 88 offers a full suite of security services, Unrau believes the company&rsquo;s unique mobile patrol model sets it apart from other companies competing for national accounts. Signal 88&rsquo;s highly visible security vehicles deter vehicle break ins, car theft, burglary attempts, loitering and mischief on client properties and enable officers to respond to trouble at a moment&rsquo;s notice.

&ldquo;Many of our competitors only offer a static standing guard,&rdquo; Unrau said. &ldquo;Our patrol model allows us to make our presence known. We have learned criminals don&rsquo;t like to be watched and monitored, and we do that with our patrol model by being the eyes and ears of our property managers.&rdquo;

Unrau said the digital reports that include photos, video and GPS data that officers compile after each patrol are also valuable to clients.

&ldquo;When property managers come to work in the morning and read the detailed report from the night before, they get a head start on the maintenance work that needs to be addressed,&rdquo; Unrau said. &ldquo;The reports help the property manager be efficient and tackle problems before they are discovered by residents.&rdquo;

Jeff Chovan, a Signal 88 franchisee who owns locations in Denver, Colorado, and Phoenix, Arizona, believes he provides superior services to the Walmart and Greystar locations in his markets because he has established a personal relationship with each store owner and property manager.

&ldquo;Although Signal 88 is a national company, local owners are responsible for their relationships,&rdquo; Chovan said. When it comes down to it, it&rsquo;s my partnership, so I focus on it and I own it in a way that bigger competitors who are out of touch cannot do. I am very attentive to clients like Greystar and Walmart, so they are comfortable with us, they trust us, and we are their resource for security needs.&rdquo;
