Pre Sales Enquiry

Hi there,
I am new to BT, so please bear with me. I am wanting to join BT Infinity when it becomes available in my area on the 30th of June.
Just a few questions...
1. I used to be on O2 broadband and obtained 17Mbs through O2, yet BT always estimated me at 9/13Mbs. Why would there be a difference between two ISPs? My exchange is Ashton-under-Lyne.
2. Infinity speed estimates have my speed with an estimated 24Mbs down with 9Mbs up. Is this likely to improve in future?
3. I am with TalkTalk for my line rental. I spoke to someone at BT Sales and they said if I wanted Infinity then I would need to take out my line rental with BT. Is this true?
4. I have been reading on forums that people have been offered Infinity before the "live date" at their exchange. Is there anyway I can see if that would be available for me?
I am currently with Virgin 50Mbs service which is awful. These are the results I am getting which can be very erratic:
Thanks

Hi,
Some answers to your questions
1) This will be because O2 are probably unbundled and use their own hardware. BT are so far behind other ISP's in providing good speeds.
2) It all depends on distance from street cabinet, but you could expect upto close to 40mb if BT are already quoting 24mb
3) You should not need to change telephone provider, as it uses the same pair of wires that are used for ADSL so get switched at the cabinet instead of the exchange.
4) Don't always believe the available dates as these are subject to change and could be cancelled as per what they've done for South Yorkshire.
Be warned that BT still cap you @ 1mb for 30 days if you use over 100GB a month, they also throttle various things protocols..

Business process in sd module starts from pre sales activities & ends in --

business process in sd module starts from pre sales activities & ends in billing or payment collection....... pls tell the answer....

Hello,
It depends upon the business process of the client. some time it will be like
Inquiry --> Quotation --> Sales order --> Delivery --> Goods Issue --> Invoice --> Payment.
But in some of the cases enquiry may not be there in the process, and even some cases quotation too and these both are not madatory.
In SD point of view we are only bothered upto invoice, but the process end once we receive the payment.

What is the difficulty that you face as a Pre Sales consulant fresh into sales ?

A mostly dull day at Work.
Is SAP Pre Sales is an area which is pretty much superficial ?
Is the fact that it leads into development, installation. set up and customer interaction and project creation activities like the various phases such as preparation, fine tuning and creation, integration and Go Live a reality ?
Are pre sales consultants human beings who are expected to introduce their organizations by identifying potential leads alone ? Or do they even get more opportunistic and assume that this exercise eventually leads to a pre sales consultant having a had to play in further methodology and implementation.
Initially it is very easy when you just have to introduce a customer to a ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and the SAP Business by Design.
You have to just use common and communicative English and don't really worry about the complicated and accompanying jargon / technical terminology that is common when you are working with SAP.
Although you become accustomed to terms like the
a. Profit Center.
b. Cost Center.
c. Deferred Revenue.
d. Sales Organization.
e. Service Organization.
The scary part is the onset or coming of related business terminology that is relevant to business scenario creation. As a suggestion I think real time invention of terminology is extremely important though it is equally important to remember key terms that has resulted in successful business implementation and running.
I would like to start with, for example "Business Insight" - Employees discussing over the newspaper be it politics, technology or general know how.
"Stretching your imagination " - Indicating that you are trying too hard and you need to cool down.
"Unresponsive Data Source" - When an employee becomes unresponsive and difficult to manage.
"Pass the buck" - A web source not lacking clarity but crying out for customizing.
Then there is the phenomenon that cannot be explained which is obviously a phase which requires further introspection and study.
Then there comes the requirement where you start assessing business requirement and you respect it when your boss asks you to develop as per the requirement.
As a pre sales consultant it is easy from me to create strategies which will introduce potential customers to Enterprise Resource Planning. The challenge is taking up complex terminology and to be good at it. The use of it will impress the customer enabling the creation of an excellent and communicative environment conducive to business growth, a vital ingredient to help build relationships.
As an organization I know my company requires leads to generate revenue. The more the merrier is definitely the run of the mill.
Does one do a PhD on presales communication and therefore acquire clear cut and flamboyant convincing interpersonal soft skills or do you develop the same as you grow along with the organization ? these are the questions running in my mind. Can you still play coy when the time is ripe. The order of the day is that you cannot and should not.
Assuming that the flow of cash is purely market dependent how does one base assumptions, arrange grammar, work with intuition, develop customer skills, listen to your managers, maintain alertness to ensure the same.
Certainly these are the more important and critical questions, requiring the same level of expertise.
Now I must be certain and assume thereby accumulating customer confidence.
I remember as a kid having to deal with conflicting scenarios and create write up's. You did better once you started doing it more often. your confidence levels started growing. Well this was the start given to me right from school.
I now realize that working at a new organization is also the same. You learn. Rewards
I know are also based on how well you learn apart from dedication and sincerity which comes with love for the work that you do.
I also believe that pre sales is an art when you have successfully convinced the customer.
Getting the customer, explaining business scenarios, emphasizing on dignity, telling the truth about organizations currently running ERP and generating huge turnovers are definitely good illustrations to start with.
It is easy when you have generated a good rapport with customer in meetings. There now comes the opportunity to create more leads and build rapport and extend existing relationships.
When talking to a potential lead if I say Demand Planning it is important to answer who is going to be handling the process as well as educate the vendor on the same. To keep him informed on the process enables him the comfort of knowing when and how to conduct demand planning runs ensuring a good and beneficial yield as well as a view into when the particular process must be carried forth including the handling of the same and how to schedule the same - although demand planning as a term may suggest only demand planning.
Obviously, it is this intelligence that is going to make the difference ..............

Purchase Requistion,Purchase Enquiry, Sales Enquiry,Capacity Planning & Sch

Hi All,
I am working in SAP business One for quiet long time as Functional Consultant and i am very much aware with its design. And Now SAP is bringing SAP HANA also for Mid Size Company or you can say in SAP Business One.
BUT ...............
In any industry vertical there is always requirement of Purchase Requistion (Department Wise) , Purchase Enquiry and sales enquiry is Must to buy or sell the Item.
Why dont SAP is providing three different FORMS like sales Quotation , (Sales Enquiry) , Purchase Quotation (Purchase Enquiry) and Material Indent or Purchase Requisition (Dept. Wise) This i am spcifically asking just because the requestor doesn't knnow the Suppliers Name.
And This functionality is in SAP ECC .
This will reduce ADD ON
MRP is enhanced so beautifully in Latest Version but only Capacity Planning & Sceduling is Missing.
Capacity Planing and Sceduling if possible then I think Maximum Industry accross the World will consider SAP Business One
I hope by this forum i am Just Pointing this. So that we can get in near future
If anyone gets any clue on this please let me know.
Please Join hands if this feature what i discussed is really required .
Thanks & Regards
Ashish Gupte

Hello Friend,
I am very much agree with your suggestion
But every one know that ECC is not for SMB sector so it is full flesh ERP compare SAP Business one and may be these form will part of SAP business one road map.
Because SAP has added some rich process for MRP but after get suggestion from form and these link form http://forums.sdn.sap.com/forum.jspa?forumID=265&start=0
and these given above link also is a good place for your question
Thanks

Pre sales query !

Hi all,
Guys this is not a technical query but i really didnt know whom or where to ask so i am putting this question here for all experts (whom i respect by heart)
Sir how do you guys become expert in pre sales. I mean client can ask anything from anywhere. They can ask me on the fly that how many ports or modules are in 3900 series router ? they can ask me if stacking between 2960s and x is possible ? what about 3560x and 2960x and such. How am i supposed to remember all this stuff ?
I know there are experts here who may know it all but what is the approach for getting such expertise ?
Please guide me guys i will really appreciate your feedback on it.

I suspect a lot of it is read off the Cisco Data sheets on the fly.
That's right, you'll spend a lot of time reading these, so worth bookmarking the common ones in your browser.
Cisco has a configurator within their CCW section. These is very useful, because it lists out all the possible part numbers associated with each product. You still need to do your research, but it's better than nothing. For example, it won't tell you that you only need one VPN license for a HA pair of ASAs. It won't tell you that you'll need a single 1m stack cable and for a large stack of 3750 switches.
There is so much Cisco product information that you can never learn it all. I keep my notes updated and list out key points for the common products. MS OneNote might work well, although I still keep everything in a huge Word doc. If I learn anything new and important, then it gets added. Can be a pain, but it's a great reference. The only downside is that old info must be cross-checked, because things change. For example, features can sometimes drop down the IOS feature sets as time goes by.
Take the most commonly sold products by your partner and build up some good notes on these first. Perhaps create some tables identifying key features, or use columns with tick boxes - i.e. Dual PSU?, stackable?, etc.
Make sure you understand how the part numbers are constructed for your key products. For example, the part number for a common fixed-chassis switch like the 2960 or 3750 will tell you the number of switchports, type of switchports (RJ45/SPF), PoE (none/low/half/full), type of uplinks (RJ45/SFP/both), speed of uplinks (1/10GbE), type of IOS feature set etc etc
Learn the key differences between the IOS feature sets for the most common products. This is important. You don't want any nasty post-sale surprises where the device won't perform a feature requested by the customer. It can be expensive.
Cisco CCDA and CCDP exams will help with any design work.
Cisco Live! 365 videos are good, so worth signing up www.ciscolive365.com
Cisco Design Zone can be useful, but will depend how low-level your pre-sales role will be. Some roles are quite high level.
Learn Visio (or similar) and create a base template to work from - i.e. get all your common icons and components ready, plus your subject box (i.e. title, customer, author, date, internal reference number etc)
Template a nice long list of common caveats to add at the end of your proposal - i.e. customer to schedule network outage window, customer to supply fibre patch leads, customer to make available necessary rack space etc etc etc. Just take out the ones you don't need each time.
Ask colleagues to vet your proposals whilst you're still learning.
There's probably more, but that should help get you started.

Where can I find the date when the pre-sale movies will be released?

Where can I find the date when the pre-sale movies will be released?

Hi Claudia1950,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
According to the following article on iTunes Store pre-orders, "Most pre-orders will show an expected release date near or below the pre-order button."
You may also find this information helpful:
When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.

Pre-sale questions?

Hi,
since it seems impossible to contact Adobe in any way to get information BEFORE
buying a product...
I need to know whether Premiere Elements 8 allows you to add subtitles to your
movies?
I mean REAL subtitles that the user can enable or disable. I'm not at all talking about
free text titles that are imprinted in the video itself.
Thanks for any help.
Steve
P.S. if anyone has a pre-sale email address, thanks to let me know.

No, you can not add optional captioning to videos in Premiere Elements.
That's a function of more professional apps, like Encore and DVD Architect Pro.

Did not receive Ticketmaster pre-sale code!!!

I pre-ordered the Interpol album, Our Love to Admire, and downloaded it today. When I got the first email from Apple telling me about the pre-sale, it said I would get a pre-order code when I downloaded the album.
Well, it's almost 12 hours later and I still haven't gotten the code--and the pre-sale starts tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.
I remember when I did this with Tori Amos I received the pre-sale code a week later, but tickets haven't gone on sale so I haven't really cared.
Has anyone else received their Interpol pre-sale code yet???
Or know what I could do? I know my e-mail is not blocking Apple because I've received all their other e-mails telling me to pre-order, etc.
Thanks!

Do the Smashing Pumpkin tickets go on sale tomorrow (Wed. July 11) as well? Maybe there's something going on, like we won't get the code until right before they go onsale? Although if that were the case, I'd hope Apple would have told us about it.
This really does suck. The only reason I bought the Interpol CD thru iTunes and not in the store--where the special edition had many more bonus tracks--was because of the pre-sale code.
Seems like a bait-and-switch on Apple's part if they don't provide what they promised. I don't think that's exactly legal, or ethical.

Pre Sales Questions CS4

I want to ask a pre-sales question on Premier CS4. How do I do that. I cant
see anything on the web, technical support only allows registered software.
Also, does the student version of the above include watermarks on the image output? I am a teacher and have as student son at unversity. What is the cheapest option for Premier CS4 WITHOUT watermarks
Thanks

The
education version does not watermark output.
Cheers

Pre-Sales Questions: RV220W & SRP 547W

Hi,
Couple of pre-sales questions if you don't mind:
1. Does the RV220W Wireless-N Network Security Firewall allow RADIUS authentication of wireless clients on the WLAN?
2. Does the Cisco SRP 547W Wireless Router allow wireless clients to tunnel into the WLAN using VPN?
Thanks very much.

Yes it supports all the functionality. For more detail you can see the below link

Pre-sales Questions

What is the best way to contact Apple and get answers to pre-sale questions? Sometimes these forums work well, other times there is no response. When there is a response, is there a way one can determine it the responder is a representative from Apple?
Is there an 800 number that one can call for pre-sales questions? Unfortunately the closest AppleStore is 60 miles from my home.

1159/3605
Hi jbmth,
Responses you get here are from other users that volunteer to share their Apple knowledge.
The quality is probably the best possible, since every time something goes wrong in one's advice, someone else would quickly jump in and offer corrections/additions.
Determine representatives from Apple:
They have a white apple in front of their names. You won't see an answer from an Apple employee more than once or twice a year here really.
This is most a user-to-user forum.
What kind of info do you need?
Generally speaking, speculation about new products is quite very unwelcome by Apple standards.
Here in the Discussions, it is simply forbidden by the Terms of Use.
I hope this helps.

Pre-sale MacBooks question.

Hey - I know this Question is a Pre-sales question but there isn't a forum section for that - and apples contact us section haver replied after two days, so I'm posting here
I'm looking at buying either the new MacBook Pro 13" or the MacBook Air, however I can't decide which one to go for, I went to London last week and had a session on the old Pro and Air, it helped - but it only helped by making me sure I wanted one of them...
I was wondering, would it be possible for me to purchase one MacBook and try it out for a few days, and then swap it and try the other?
Eg:
Buy MacBook Air, use for two days, bring back, try out MacBook pro (and pay the extra amount)?
Sorry if that sounds stupid,
Cheers,
Tom.

There is a restocking fee for open items. You might get away with the restocking fee if you do by another similar item
