Description

Hosts Stephen Olmon and Collin Trimble break down how to fix the bottleneck that strangles growing security & life-safety companies: design and quoting. They share the people/process/tech playbook to get proposals out in 24–72 hours, tighten scopes, and hand ops clean jobs. From building a repeatable estimation playbook to leveraging international talent and AI for door hardware and camera selection, this episode is your roadmap to faster quotes, higher win rates, and better margins.

If you’re still cranking proposals at 10pm—or relying on sales reps to “figure it out” in spreadsheets—this one’s for you.
