I’ve started a business called Avtech Consulting. I’m starting with selling video surveillance systems to businesses. They are from WiLife (my previous employer) but they don’t use power lines to transmit video. They use regular network cables and thus are more reliable and require a professional installation. One of WiLife’s resellers and a former co-worker have created a successful business model where they sell these systems nationwide and hire IT professionals to install them. They are WiLife’s top reseller. Check them out at http://www.addtech.us

They recently sold 13 systems to a Great Clips franchise owner in Ohio. They also have a niche market for mall kiosks

They had contacted me at the end of last year to help them with their website and I have been learning more about how their business and rare success in the down economy. I asked them about how I should go about selling the systems and they are developing a sort of franchise model where they provide the product, services, support and some marketing and I sell the systems for a split of the profit. Since I know the product well and have experience with online marketing I figured it was worth a shot.

I threw a site together this week (it is a good start but there will be many improvements and additions to come) and will begin marketing the site. If you know anyone that is interested in surveillance for their home or business send them the link. This product is perfect for anyone that operates more than one business location or wants to protect against theft, law suits, etc. Some insurance companies will even give discounts if you install surveillance in your business. You can also post a link to it on your blog and that will help. Use “Avtech Surveillance” as the link term. http://www.avtech.us
