Own the home

Any dealer of any of the connected services — e.g. security, A/V, automation, and anything else you can think of that is connected into the home, including the network itself — has to be owned and controlled by one entity. Hopefully, that entity would be you and your company. So if you’re an alarm dealer... you may need to expand your tech horizons. Not just for now, but also, think of the future.

The process

Whether or not you're familiar with cybersecurity and network management services, Minim will help your business become a trusted smart home support expert overnight.

Research

Customer demand

Reviewing your customer base and service plans, what would an optimal WiFi management and security offering look like?

Can you segment your customer base by home square footage (which lends to the router/WiFi system needed)?

Have you considered a customer survey on interest levels in parental controls, Whole Home WiFi, and network security monitoring? Tested price points? 

Solution demo

Who in your organization might be best to setup a Minim-enabled router in their home, with connected devices, and download the Minim app?

Who in your organization might be best to review the Minim Care Center and ask questions relevant to your business operations? 

Plan

Offering

Which of the Minim-certified equipment will you offer?

Will you deliver tiered service plans or a single plan, at what price points? Monthly or annual fees? 

Do you intend to deliver a branded mobile app experience (white label)? 

Marketing

What are the best channels for you to educate customers on smart home security threats and build awareness of your new offering?

How will you train your sales and support staff to consult new and existing customers? What are your sales targets?

Can you survey your customer base to target with appropriate messaging? For example, do you know which of your customers already pay for digital security services such as antivirus software or identity theft detection?

Operations

Will your internal staff be utilizing the Care Center, or will you deliver managed services via a channel? 

When will you schedule training for your staff or channel on using the Care Center? 

Trial

Design

Which personnel in your organization would be best to develop an end-to-end product trial, including: customer consultation, equipment order, setup, and customer feedback? 

Which subset of customers might be best for a trial offering, likely to test and provide feedback? 

What are your success criteria for the trial? 

Execute

Is the solution meeting your success criteria? Are there any areas of improvement or bumps to iron out?

Does your staff require any further training?

Implement

Product launch

How will you make an announcement to your customer base and garner interest? How will you handle inbound inquiries?

Optimize

What Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) do you plan to track and optimize, e.g. Average Revenue Per User, customer satisfaction, on-site visit reductions, new offering uptake? 

Traditional security technologies aren't enough

While there are certainly benefits to using technologies such as VPN, firewall, and antivirus software for security, they lack any real impact in the smart home."

Benefits
