Perception of Cisco • Disjointed account team. Everyone is GAM • Resources not where we need them • No clear visible structure • Too focussed on internal politics & remuneration issues – too visbile to us • Not customer oriented, just selling • They don’t understand our objectives • Better exec engagement that works • IBSG is great – interested to take this further • Individuals selling things that aren’t approved • Don’t tell me about products, talk about my needs • Talk about complete solutions, not components • Need to be grown-up in our behaviour & work with Avaya & Verizon • Making good progress in fixing issues Source: Interviews with senior customer executives by Talent Capital February 2006.
Our Objectives • FY05 = $22m, FY04 = $36m.
