Module 5: Software Support

Interactive Exercise

You are a Cisco 2-tier reseller giving a presentation about technical support services options to a team of clients from the GLSY company. Based on your prior experiences with GLSY, you know that they have been in need of technical support service for a few months now.

Your goal is to sell your client a technical support service program that includes Software Support as a key component.

You begin your conversation with the client with a discussion about the benefits associated with having a service program that includes Software Support as a key component. The client asks “I would like to be able to access the most current Cisco IOS Software features as they become available – can a service program that includes Software Support as a key component help me with this?”

What should you say?


 

“Since version 9.0, over 900 new features have been added to Cisco IOS Software. More than 400,000 updates are downloaded per month. Having a service program that includes Software Support as a key component allows you to pay one annual fee to access all new features and technologies as they are added.”
     
  “Having a service program that includes Software Support as a key component will provide you with a Cisco engineer that will come to your office to install your new updates as they come out so that you won’t have to download them yourself.”
