"It's more important than ever for security dealers to protect their accounts, reduce attrition and tap into new revenue opportunities," said Jay Kenny, Alarm.com's Senior Vice President of Marketing. "Smart Home services enable users to add to their system over time, so we created a turnkey solution for Alarm.com Dealers to build customer loyalty, unlock that potential business and increase account value."
