Module 2: The Importance of Service

Review Questions

You have just closed a sale with your customer for Cisco hardware, and are beginning to talk to them about a service solution to support their hardware investment. In your discussion, your customer tells you, “I do not see the benefit of Advance Replacement of defective hardware. I already receive hardware replacement under my standard warranty, right?”

How would you respond?

Select the best answer from the choices below.
 
A.  ”You are the customer and I am here to help you. We’ll go with whatever you decide.”
 
B.  ”Cisco warranties often do not cover replacement of hardware unless sufficient evidence can be provided showing that the defect was due to Cisco error."
C.  ”In many cases, with a technical support service contract replacement parts can be shipped as soon as the next business day. Under a standard warranty, replacement parts are shipped within 10 business days from the RMA return date. Can you afford to have your network down that long?”
D.  ”I understand your point, but I don’t’ think you fully understand the situation. As your sales rep, I know what your company is looking for and what it needs. You should trust my judgment and purchase a service contract."
