Deadline Looms: Enter the 2023 SAMMY Awards Now!

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — Security Sales & Integration is seeking entries for the 28th annual SAMMY Awards. As the security industry’s original sales, marketing and installation awards program, dealers and integrators are urged to show off their marketplace successes and accomplishments.

A panel of judges will select the top nominees in each of 12 categories among security dealers and integrators that exemplify professionalism in their sales, marketing and installation efforts. For the second consecutive year, the awards gala will be held on the center of the ISC West show floor.

The award ceremony (along with the 2023 SSI Industry Hall of Fame inductions) will take place on March 29, with the exact time soon to be announced.

Grand prizes will be given for Integrated Installation of the Year, Installer of the Year and Integrated Marketing Program of the Year. Best Social Media Campaign, Community Outreach Program and Vehicle Graphics Design are among the other categories that are available for entry.

“It’s been said that recognition is the most powerful of motivators. People crave praise and the feeling of being appreciated. Studies have stunned business owners and managers by showing that workers value positive feedback above and beyond anything else, including money,” says SSI Editor-in-Chief Scott Goldfine. “For that reason and many others, back in the mid-1990s, Security Sales & Integration launched the Sales & Marketing (SAMMY) Awards. The program — which recognizes and honors electronic security dealers/integrators that demonstrate exceptional expertise in their sales & marketing materials, business practices, and installations — has gained momentum each and every year.”

A complete list of SAMMY Awards categories and judging criteria can be accessed here.

Entries for the 2023 awards program are due by Feb. 6, 2023 (this is the extended deadline). Entering the SAMMYs is free and open to North American professional installing dealers and integrators only.

In addition to receiving a majestic SAMMY trophy to prominently exhibit your office, winners also gain prime exposure in SSI’s June and July (Installers and Installations of the Year) issues that can be shown to prospects.

Minnesota AG Calls for Cancellation of Home Security Contracts for Alleged Fraud

STEARNS COUNTY, Minn. — Bring Me the News reports that Minnesota’s Attorney General, Keith Ellison, says he’s gotten consumers in Stearns County out of home security contracts after they were misled by a door-to-door salesman. According to the report, Ellison’s office announced that home security companies Skyline Security Management and Safe Home Security have agreed to their cancel contracts with customers in and around Stearns County who purchased their systems from door-to-door salesman Gary Harvey. “Door-to-door salesmen and their employers are in the business of trust-building,” Ellison said in a statement. “They know they need to have your trust to sell you their products, particularly expensive products like security systems that are supposed to keep your home safe. When that trust is betrayed, it’s emotionally and financially painful. I appreciate Skyline and Safe Home taking the right step in canceling these contracts while my office does what we can under the law to hold M
