Module 2: The Importance of Service

Value of Service

Another important item to discuss with your customers is network downtime.

Network downtime can have a direct impact on customer revenue. The figure below illustrates a breakdown of the cost of network downtime per hour experienced by various sectors in today’s economy. Take a few minutes to think about these costs. Imagine how quickly these numbers could increase for a customer waiting for a shipment of equipment that is covered under a typical 10-day warranty. Having a service contract that provides next day, four-hour, or two-hour dispatch options can significantly reduce the costs your customers incur due to network downtime.
