Latest Edition of the Circuit Magazine

Announcements

I finally had an opportunity to sit down and go through my personal copy of the latest edition of the Circuit magazine. For those of you who don’t know by now, the Circuit Magazine is geared specifically towards the EP industry. I consider it a great resource for new individuals and seasoned veterans.

One particular article caught my attention by Gus Macgregor. The article is entitled ‘Prospecting for New Business.’ Considering today’s economic climate, I thought Gus had several valid points that all EP’s should consider.

Here’s a particular quote from the article, “Your primary aim should be to get in front of as many prospective clients as possible. Selling is a numbers game, the more balls you throw up in the air the more balls will fall down.” Gus makes a very valid point, selling and marketing is not rocket science, it’s a numbers game. If you don’t get in front of enough people, you will be limiting opportunities that you have for business plain and simple.

Bodyguarding: Who You Associate With Counts

Doc Rogers, Featured Articles

By Doc Rogers

Hang out with people who share the same goals and philosophies that you do about bodyguarding as a livelihood. Make sure they are intelligent, well mannered and masters of self control. This will get you closer to your bodyguard goals. Avoid associating with people on a regular basis who are counterproductive to your bodyguard goals, this includes those who do drugs, drink too much liquor or are involved with any kind of illegal business.

When first starting out, building a strong team of bodyguards is important. Eventually these guys may be on your payroll guarding clients with you, so trust and respect is vital.  If you don’t have any friends who want to become professional bodyguards, scout in places that have the type of people you are looking for (martial art studios, gyms, shooting ranges, bodyguard seminars, etc.).
You need different types of personnel to perform all the different tasks and duties such as security drivers, advance men, crowd control, and close-in protection bodyguards. Once you are satisfied with your team, you must ensure that they are trained and ready to guard your future clients against what ever threat may present itself.

Look To New Horizons In Your Executive Protection Career

Doc Rogers

By Doc Rogers

Are you looking to travel overseas on executive protection assignments and work as a bodyguard in exotic locales?  If the answer is yes, than the world is wide open, waiting for you. No one has the rights to it, and permission is granted. Of course you will have to check local visa requirements for working within a particular area on a temporary or full-time basis, but this should not stop you from sending email and express courier packages with your resume to prospect clients and employers.

Focus your efforts on one particular geographical location where you would like to work as a bodyguard. Do research to ensure that the particular geographical area has the demand and the need for executive protection. The area that you select must be able to pay international rates for your bodyguard services and consider you an expert in the trade through your training and experience.  Saturate the overseas location with your resume.

Taser and CCW Permit Training in Florida

Announcements

SEXTON will hold their highly acclaimed Executive Protection training program in Orlando from 11/7 – 11/13/10.We realize that people will have conflicts with schedules, so we have made special arrangements for anyone wishing to take the TASER and/or Utah Concealed Weapon Permit course.

The TASER familiarization course will give students a thorough understanding of the TASER system and will afford them a hands-on training experience. The Instructor is a Law Enforcement specialist who has been officially certified by the TASER Corporation and has taught both Police personnel and civilians in that capacity.

John Sexton, CEO and Director of Training at the Sexton Executive Security Training Institute, recently remarked in a Press Release that TASER was more rapidly gaining a foot hold in the private sector and more jurisdictions were allowing private security personnel to carry it as a less lethal weapon.

“TASER has excellent applications for Executive Protection”, Sexton advised. “If an E.P. Agent finds him or herself in a situation where they must activate the unit, they only have to throw it down and evacuate the area. TASER guarantees to replace it with a new unit in such circumstances”.

The Utah CCW is the official UT course of instruction as mandated by the Bureau of Criminal Identification. Utah does not require permit holders to be a resident. This permit is highly sought after as it allows holders to carry concealed in more than 30 States. Everyone will receive all of the necessary paperwork to process their CCW permit after completion of the training on Sunday morning, 11/14/10

The price to attend the half day TASER training is $75.00. Attendees will receive a certificate of completion. The cost to attend the half day Utah CCW training is $150.00. Upon completion, all attendees will be given all that is required to receive their CCW permit. Please allow up to 45 days for Utah to process the application.

China Offers New Business Ground For Executive Protection Service

Bruce Alexander, Featured Articles

By Bruce Alexander

According to a story in Spiegel Online, the online version of the German news magazine Der Spiegel (The Mirror), Executive Protection is a growth business in China. The demand for Executive Protection is driven by the customary factors accompanying economic growth in a developing country such as threats associated with increased wealth. Like the former Soviet Union, organized crime has taken hold in China and some of this demand for protection comes from organized crime (which can hardly be considered your typical Executive Protection service). Additionally, Western firms in China employ Executive Protection services as do visiting celebrities.

Not surprisingly the Executive Protection business in China is a closed shop meaning unless you’re connected with the State in some official or semi-official capacity, forget about hanging up your Executive Protection diploma and opening up shop to respond to this growing demand.

The one statistic that I found surprising was the 4,000 kidnappings that took place in China in 2004. It’s not clear where these statistics came from but like everywhere else, the real number is probably higher since kidnappings are not always reported to the authorities.
