How You Buy Data Center Services Has Changed. How We Sell Them Has Changed As Well.

Technology products and services have traditionally been sold using a bulleted list of features. Product features and price were nearly the same across competing products and the main differentiating factor was how comfortable the customer felt with the salesperson.

But times have changed. Today’s sales process has matured beyond selling a bulleted list of features to selling a complete solution which enables technology and business savvy customers to solve their problems and achieve their business goals. In-depth discussions around mobile access, custom private cloud requirements, or the need to quickly and easily scale IT resources to meet seasonal demands are the new normal.

As a result, the traditional salesperson often shakes his head in agreement and answers “of course” when a potential customer asks if they will be able to achieve a specific outcome. All the while, the salesperson knows that this may be untrue since he does not fully understand the ins-and-outs of the technology required. He will say almost anything to close the deal and knows that once the contract is signed, it will be the engineer’s responsibility to make it all work.

Exit the Traditional Salesperson, Enter the Data Center Engineer

Today’s data center client does not want to deal with a salesperson who is all sizzle and no substance. They want to be certain that the person and company in whom they entrust their data understands their needs, knows the data center capabilities inside and out, and will develop a custom solution from an objective and unbiased perspective.

It is the person who adds value, takes a holistic approach, and understands your technology and business needs, who is best suited to sell. In a data center environment, that person is an engineer. The engineers design, build, deploy and maintain both the client and data center networks. Who knows better than them what the most appropriate solution is for a given situation?

Unfortunately, most data center providers continue to hire and employ traditional salespeople.
