Working on a task as a subcontractor requires even more responsibility than when working on your own mission. You are not only protecting the client's brand, but also the brand of the company that hired you as a subcontractor.
Present yourself as a loyal partner! The reputation behind your brand name is something that is priceless – so hard to build and so easy to destroy.
When it comes to performance, being a local support in case there is requirement for advance security, or a security driver only, or just for being there because you are the one who has the license and one that needs to cover the team regarding legal requirements, means to listen not to be a smart ass, and to do only what has been asked from you, not more not less.
If you’re only hired to carry umbrellas, be a world champion at it. Don’t let any task hurt your ego, even if your capabilities are much more.
Many of us usually want to proof themselves, present their knowledge, but often it can be counterproductive. It may seem as if you want to show who is in charge.
Do not try to outshine contract holder, and try to be that favorite guy to the client.
Be invisible in the eyes of the client and noticeable in the eyes of the team when they need you.
80% of the time is not about your skills and actual protection, most of the time is just about good social dynamics, soft skills and improvisation.
Interaction with the client and his royal court.
Are you good with their kids.
And most important are you able to protect clients image and cooperate well with other household staff and his office.
After all, you are just one piece of his puzzle, one of their staff members. You're nothing special, in fact you are replaceable with the snap of the fingers.
Do not forget, that our service is a customer service, concierge service, protection is just a small part.
One additional note to the security companies abroad and to their operatives who are traveling to Europe with their clients;
Once you are engaged, you would need to involve the local security team in planning activities. Communication is the key.
Thats why it is very important to do some vetting.
Check the security company's references, their license and insurance, as well as experience. One who deals in Celebrity Protection may not be suitable for Corporate CEO Protection and vice versa.
