"Sometimes you need their attention first," said the old farmer, who had just finished off his mule in the forehead with a two-four. End The mule, a little 'surprised, but he is tenacious and has initiated moves plow.

Perhaps Dell has some mule blood contains.

Dell is to discover what green marketing discover their fourth year of their career – namely, the service is a product. Like all products, quality and suitability for the needs of the customer determinesSuccess. Because the technology is complex, and users of technology can not last long without the support will be essential to differentiate the long-term economic success.

(A malignant part: if they are a good example of bad customer service, speak with anyone who can use web hosting from 1and1.com, a company that explores the depths of the customer routinely ignored. The horror stories about 1and1. Com technical support would be Reduced Steven King.)

Customers arewho are most vulnerable and often suffer from a degree of frustration when they decided to support the request. Support will be as important (if not more important) than the commodity itself.

Dell discovered this the hard way.

Once praised for customer service, Dell slid down the slippery slope to reduce the support of cutting costs. All he really cut his throat just as the Internet, but everything has exploded with terrible stories of support services for Dell.

ThenMichael Dell is back, some companies would enter inclination, and things turn during their service groups.

Of particular interest was the breaking news of Dell trying to offer flexibility in their services. Like most vendors, Dell has offered the service boxes "- set of predefined and rigid differentiated services. Often, customers found themselves with few options, either to buy services from less than they need, but they could afford, or pay for services that they need,For the few who did. This is the norm in the industry but not optimal for the customer. However, it is easy to understand, model, price, explain and sell.

In other words, is the product marketing people lazy.

Dell breaks this model, and this will probably be put ahead of the competition by Engendering lucrative service contracts and more satisfied customers.

(Under its new system for small and medium enterprises – consumers), the Customerto support specific modules instead of the typical gold / silver / bronze style support packages. Because every organization is different in terms of complexity of their IT infrastructure and the extent of their internal talent, their need for services is very individual. Some businesses need to get the support of Linux, while others have kernel hacker on staff. Others might have storage needs exotic, while others offer is not good with a simple NAS.

Dellensure that everyone gets what they need, and not think, not what they do.

Marketing has two points in this game. First, the creation of products that people want is the key to success in the door to begin. The service is part of the definition of products. Define the right offer service and take all the product easier to buy.

Perhaps more importantly, that the service is of paramount importance to customer satisfaction. And 'well-documented that customer satisfaction leads to highSales of repetition (more money),) positive word-of-mouth sales (plus customers (even more with more money) brings. not the services of law and offer them a good, it 's opposite effect.

Welcome back Michael. You get it.
