Arm Yourself Podcast - Presented by Arlenco Distribution

We had the privilege of having Jeff and Dallan come to our store to talk about the genesis of PDK, pdkio, and PDK’s sales philosophy when it comes to integration and it’s customers.

In this episode you meet the men behind the product. We learned that PDK care very much for it’s dealer base (installers, end-users, and distribution). We discuss the power and expand-ability of the product.

DON’T be INTIMIDATED by the PDK Cloud Access Control platform! They answer questions with regards to redundancies. Most importantly? They address simplicity of the product (installation, and use) and mobile applications.

This product is Manufactured IN the USA. No Tariff games. No availability issues, and most importantly, it’s supported in the US.

In this episode we talk about Arlenco CONNECT and Arlenco ORBIT. We also talk about a brand that we had omitted from the original Arm Yourself brands, PDK or ProDataKey Cloud Access Control Systems.

A basic overview of Arlenco CONNECT and how it utilizes inbound marketing to stoke business for our customers, and outbound marketing (as an “insanely great product”) for our customers. We talk a little about “The Law of Reciprocity” in sales and marketing and the ways CONNECT brings business to our customers. This includes brief talk about #8000hits, the hash-tag.

Also, a basic overview of Arlenco ORBIT and a few of the ways it can be used to change the game for your equipment purchasing. Our intention is to make purchasing the best brands, simple and quick.
