Dell Trial Technical Support Telesales or Whose Client is it anyway? Monday, January 14th, 2008

 

Dell are running a trial: They are using Dell Technical Support personnel to offer additional products and services to end users.

I take a dim view of this. As a Dell reseller I am under near constant attack from Dell contacting clients directly and altering their perceptions about technology offerings.

At this juncture Dell and I disagree about what product ranges my clients should be using.

Dell direct market my Clients Dell Vostro. I on the other hand recommend Dell Optiplex/Latitude.

So you can see why this latest approach is unwelcome to say the least.
