Assess the company’s reputation

This is the very first step and the most important of all because the reputation of the company equates to the quality it provides to the customer. To assess a company’s reputation, Google is your best friend. Basically, you can search the name of the company and determine its reputation by checking the number of complaints. Also, look for some sites that provide company reviews like social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) because you can find most of it from that.

Another idea is that you should ask the company to interview or get to meet one of their clients before and ask about them. Also, talking to the employees and scrutinizing their attitudes would be a good start. You can actually feel how they work by looking at them at the first glance.

Check the license and insurance

Obviously, always look for valid licenses and the insurance of the company. These are very crucial for running businesses because lacking those would label them as illegal and illegitimate. You can directly ask a company’s representative about their licenses and check if it is up to date. This is for your own good because any damages that will incur during the process will be shouldered to them if they have those.

Check the experience

With experience, you will feel high confidence in this company and great results will be guaranteed. But always take note that good experience will not be based on the length of their company’s existence. It is all about how long the company has been offering customer services. Also, when talking about experiences, supervision and guidance are less. You will notice that they work immediately with minimal planning because they already know what to do because of numerous projects they handled successfully right from the start.

One way of assessing the company’s experience is by asking for portfolios of their previous projects and verifying whether it is true or not. Verify it by asking their previous clients if there is an existing project previously about it or not.

Reviews and recommendations

Reviews and reputation may be similar but reviews provide an in-depth analysis of the company’s quality of work. Aside from that, you can see how their workers handle their clients. You can basically check the reviews from their website, social media platforms, or any website that provides reviews about certain companies within your locality. Sometimes, the review section is labeled as the testimonial section so it is better not to be confused with those terms.

Aside from the review, getting recommendations is the strongest proof of the company’s reliability. You can find recommendations from your friends, known personalities, and blogs from other people. Always count how many recommendations you saw and compare if their sentiments match. Ask them for any further details so that you can actually confirm if their recommendations are genuine or not.

Weigh in the costs

After assessing certain companies overall, it’s time to weigh all costs. Basically, what you are going to do is to list all possible companies that fit your preferences. Next, compare all of their offered packages like the number of cameras to be installed, the quality of the camera, the length of the installation, and others. Compare their prices and if it fits your budget, you are now ready to get your cameras installed in your homes or business establishments.
