4.5 SupportExplanationIf you are selling a product, indicate whether the customer will expect maintenance of the product and who will provide the service. Project the Mean Time To Failure "MTTF" for the product and show a chart that projects the growth of support demand over time. If hands on repair will be required, show most probable parts requirements, cost to customer, personnel and inventory requirements. If on-site maintenance will be required, show travel and living expenses as well.For a service you are always in a support situation. You should concentrate on how to insure that the on-going quality and content of the service is meeting your customer's needs. Factors to consider:
Sample from CitiLoc, Inc.The information in the data base is of no use to our customers unless it is current. Therefore, a primary service objective will be to review the information on every city no less than once every six months. In addition we encourage the cities to provide us with updated information anytime a change occurs (especially personnel changes). We will back our data base up on a daily basis and, if and when necessary, rebuild the data base to eliminate any fragmentation problems.We know that providing information to us will be far down on a city manager's priority list so we must regularly maintain contact and present a positive service image. To this end we will assign an individual the task of preparing a monthly newsletter and a set of data base statistics to send to each of the city contacts. |
