Hi all,
I find the whole QOS area quite fascinating and I''m considering
starting
a small business to try and push QOS solutions in general to small and
medium sized businesses. I would of course be happy to push Packeteer
and Cisco kit to those who want it, but to be honest the product of
choice from a cost and functionality point of view seems to be linux
I would appreciate any feedback from those who already either run
businesses doing this kind of thing, or perhaps just folks who contract
in this area generally.
I am quite naive when it comes to selling this kind of thing, and have
always worked for big businesses directly before (have never even
contracted):
- What kind of issues am I likely to face?
- What did you find to be the most productive form of advertising?
- Did you find it difficult to show the customer what they are buying?
(It''s not a common product at the moment?)
- With packeteer and Cisco charging such rediculous prices, is there a
ready market for products based more on a time and materials basis than
an annual rental fee?
I''m going to be working in London and the South of London so I imagine
I
won''t be treading on the toes of most of the list!
Thanks
Ed W
