Dear GELSSA Members and Friends,
Thank you for your continued support of our association! I am very happy to share that we held an exhilarating Q2 Membership Meeting & Golf Tournament earlier this month! The golf tournament held on May 3rd at Fairways of Canton Golf Club was SOLD OUT! We more than doubled the number of golfers with 49 players this year over the 2023 event, and you could feel the energy throughout the day! There were fantastic conversations, best practice sharing, and meaningful networking taking place while enjoying a beautiful day on the course!
Next up is our Q3 Membership Meeting followed by a night at the Atlanta Braves game on Tuesday, August 6th! Last year we had a great turnout, and we expect to sell out all of the tickets in our group this year as well! Please plan to attend our membership meeting at the Cobb County Chamber of Commerce from 3-5pm, followed by the Atlanta Braves vs. Milwaukee Brewers game at 7:20pm.
Please Note: When you attend the membership meeting you will be able to park for free at the Cobb County Chamber of Commerce for both the membership meeting and the game. If you don't attend our membership meeting you will need to find and pay for parking on your own. If you are only able to attend the membership meeting, that portion of the event is free for GELSSA members, and you are able to register for the meeting separately here as well!
If you are not a current member, now is the perfect time to join at www.gelssa.org and get involved. I would love to hear from on how we can provide you and your team with more value moving forward and I hope to see you in person in August! Sincerely, Derek Dever
GELSSA President |

Are Your Customers Winning? |
By Andre Greco Xcelerate Sales. LLC
This is kind of an odd question, right? As business owners and salespeople, we are always thinking about winning and typically that means we are winning. Winning a big job or winning a project from a competitor are always reasons to celebrate. When I ran large sales organizations, I would routinely ask my team “are we winning?” to frame their mind around the fact that winning was important and winning was the key to them earning commissions and winning was the key to them growing their business. But, after many years, I started to look at winning a little bit differently and I am going to urge you to start looking at it differently as well. As professionals, we need to start focusing on how we help our customers win.
Are your customers winning when you have interactions with them? We can say “yes” they are winning because they have a great access control system that protects their entrances, IT room, and mechanical closets. We can say that they are winning because they got a first-class fire alarm inspection which keeps them in compliance with codes and makes sure that the fire alarm and emergency evacuation systems are working properly which ultimately protects their employees. |
