Mark, let's talk about how to increase NOVELL's sale... We can help
NOVELL and this thread by talking possible strategies which might help
NOVELL and eventually us...
Confucius said this about 5000 years ago: If 2 or 3 people gathered in a place, there must be some ideas one might find useful, we are happened to be in a virtual crowd, we should be able to come up some ideas and maybe some NOVELL's staff may pick it up and pass on ... be positive ....
Now, I work for a large company, we have about 2500 people
in the IS department, I notise that OS2 is used as server all over the
place and it is down 2 out of 5 days a week, reason: we once had a
big shot pushing the OS2 and he was long gone but the headache left
behind him. Why don't NOVELL put an ADS like once WORDs did to WordPerfect or WordPerfect is doing now to MS OFFICE, say, a free or minimal fee to migrate from OS/2 or NT SERVERs if "your department experiences bad headache ever since using them" and garrantee them satisfaction. Free demo included. Put 20 million dollars in REAL
marketing, give more % commision to salesman.
I think to sit in a VARs or in a reseller's office or company regional
office and waiting for customer to inquire is purely stupid,
this is not like selling a car.
Novell can just look at their customer list and compare to the grand
company list, it is very easy to find out who is using NOVELL and who
is not, so go get these "NOT". Contact their IS or IT department,
don't feel shy, that is how head hunter works, that is how a consulting firm works, they visit the site constantly, push the right button, people is willing to listen if they do have headache and they do want to fix the headache and NOVELL happens to be a frequent visitor ... the rest goes without saying.
Yes, let's give NOVELL some positive ideas, we might help ourself at the end ...
Regards.
