A primary concern for any park, playground or golf course is safety of citizens that patron them. Citizens are more likely to patron parks where there is convenience as well as the safety of intercom systems available to them periodically. This is a quick how-to guide for a citizen so that they may create a Fund Request Proposal to put forward and improve the safety.

Intercom systems that link directly back to a security center or central hub can fulfill the same needs as a phone system without attracting nefarious crowds to isolated areas. 1.

Before you start any proposal, ask yourself this one question. ‘What makes me different in the marketing of this property?’ If you have not got a clear answer then a major problem exists. Far too many agents enter a competitive property sale proposal situation with a focus on one or more of the following: Discounted sale fees Discounted commission Discounted or agent paid advertising Inflated price quotation Whilst the client may initially think that some of this is attractive, it does little to sell the property and may even be counterproductive.
