Shop B had
Beautiful interior
Expensive products
CCTV cameras
Security guard
Strong locks
Hook/Story/Analogy(Slide 4)
Thieves tried to break in, but failed.
The security system alerted the owner.
The shop remained safe. Customers felt secure shopping there.
Hook/Story/Analogy(Slide 4)
Both shops looked successful from outside. Both invested in decoration and products.
But only one invested in protection.
Business without security may look strong,
but it is weak inside.
Security doesn’t stop growth, it protects growth.
