Business Strategy
The company's focus is to utilize its resources and capabilities to build brands and businesses in areas where it sees unique opportunities to create exceptional value for its customers, shareholders, and employees over the long term. The company aims to grow in markets where it sees significant long-term opportunities to create an attractive return on shareholder equity. Generally, these markets are high-growth markets that are changing due to innovation, new technologies, or other industry shifts taking place. In these markets, the company seeks to build or acquire businesses that have attractive gross margins, strong opportunities for customer retention, and are not capital intensive. The company takes a long-term approach with its strategies and seeks returns over five years or longer time horizons.
The company continues to seek and execute additional strategic acquisitions and focuses on expanding its products and services, as well as entering new markets. The company constantly looks for opportunities to gain new customers and penetrate geographic locations and end markets or acquire new product or service opportunities through acquisitions that are operationally and financially beneficial for the company.
Sales and Marketing
The company's sales strategies vary across its businesses and depending on the brand, relies on direct sales force, manufacturing representatives, distributors, integrators and installers, word of mouth or referrals, commission sales agents, magazine advertisements, internet advertising, trade shows, trade directories and catalogue listings, e-commerce, to market its products and services. The company's sales are global in nature, but predominantly focused on the U.S. market presently. The company's arrangements with sales representatives accord each a defined territory or market within which to sell some or all of its products and systems, provide for the payment of agreed-upon sales commissions or wholesale pricing and are terminable at will. The company's sales representatives do not have authority to execute contracts on the company's behalf.
The company's sales representatives also serve as an ongoing liaison function between the company and its customers during the installation phase of the products and systems and address customers' questions or concerns arising thereafter. The company selects representatives based upon industry reputation, prior sales performance including number of prospective leads generated and sales closure rates, and the breadth of territorial coverage, among other criteria.

Thereafter, the company's sales and engineering personnel jointly prepare a budget proposal, or a final bid. The period between initial customer contact and issuance of an order is generally between two and twelve months.
