Burnaby, British Columbia - Thursday, April
6, 2006 - Viscount Systems Inc. (OTCBB - VSYS.OB) --
Sales and technical representatives of Viscount Systems,
led by Viscount President and CEO, Stephen Pineau, arrived
in Las Vegas this week to exhibit at The International
Security Conference and Exhibition. ISC West, held from
April 5-7 at the Sands Expo and Convention Center, is
America's largest and best attended security event.
This year's keynote speaker is America's first ever
Secretary of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge.
In conjunction with Viscount's exhibit
at ISC West, the company is having its first national
group training and planning session with its new rep
organization. With local coverage of all US States the
dealer reps and their staff will be discussing the completion
of Viscount's initial dealer training and the capabilities
of MESH™ as a threat to established systems
for enterprise and homeland security applications.
"At this stage rep training is extremely
important because with the release of our V5 and LANBot
technology our R&D is almost outpacing our ability to
communicate" said Stephen Pineau. "With rep agencies
Viscount does not incur the expense of a massive and
costly in-house sales staff. We have attracted top tier
agencies with incredible contact networks so this training
allows them the ability to enhance and expand our new
dealer relationships. In areas where dealer training
has been most extensive we have experienced the highest
volume of sales and new bookings. Our reps are now beginning
to deal with a positive new issue, handling calls from
dealers who were not trained but whose customers are
switching to MESH™ after presentations
from those who were certified. MESH™ has
powerful benefits and at a better price than any of
the national suppliers at the show. End users are now
beginning to tell their dealers that MESH™
is a requirement."
