We caught up with the brilliant and insightful David Haynes W Junior a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

We’d love to hear how you would go about setting things up if you were starting over today, knowing everything that you already know.

Knowing what I know now, I would have a mentor that is a veteran in my field that could walk me through the process. I found out that having certifications is essential to show proof of my credentials before starting on a job. I would have my business fully set-up with the right insurance, advertisement and current website with references available. Clothing with business logo is a must for identification purposes. Business cards and rack cards are needed to present to potential customers.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

My name is David William Haynes Jr. I’m originally from Augusta, Ga, but reside in Anderson, SC with my wife Wanda W. Haynes. I graduated from ITT Technical Institute with honors in 2016. After graduation I worked in the field of networking and commercial cabling for Adkins
Data Telephone Services. I was a Network Technician for SCI Electronics. I traveled with Network Control installing security cameras for Greenville County Schools, Spartanburg County Schools and BMW and I also worked for BridgeTek Solutions as a Lead Network Technician.
Working those four years for numerous companies and performing many different task awarded me a great span of field experience that gave me the confidence to start my own business. In 2020 I started my own business; Multi Technology Surveillance Security Cameras, LLC.
In 2022 I started working for GenX Security Solutions as a means of helping to support my business. My current job has been very supportive towards my business and they encourage me with my business endeavors.

What sets my business apart from others businesses?

What sets my business apart from others businesses is the customized work that I perform. I sit down with my customers and discuss different options. One example of my customized work was a customer that wanted to be able to watch is horses on camera at night. I talked to the customer about different specialty cameras that would not affect the horses’ eyes and the best rated cameras that would provide good night vision. I came to the customer’s house at night so that I could watch his horses routine to see what locations would be best to place the cameras for my customer to get the best view of his horses at night. This is just one example of how I go above and beyond to meet the needs of my customers.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

One of my most challenging task for me was when I had to install cameras on a horse ranch.  First, I had to dig the trench to lay the camera cables in a way that would not interfere with the horses.  Next, I had to navigate how to drill a hole through the concrete wall on the inside  basement wall of the house and have the hole land above the ground level on the outside of the concrete wall.  This difficult task taught me how to think outside of the box and use my critical thinking skills.  The job was very successful and the horses and customer was satisfied with the outcome.   

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

Being honest with people and not trying to rip people off. Not telling lies, but telling my customers the truth and giving them facts about the product and performing work at110%.  

By doing satisfactory work for my customers, they tell other people about me and my work ethic.  Word-of-mouth is what gives me positive reviews that spreads on social media and publically.  Positive energy equals satisfied clients, which lead to more customers.  

We go the extra mile with our clients to make sure they are satisfied, happy, safe and secure.
