I sure hope most companies run into the same problem that we have been facing lately. Streamlining your products. Most of the time, sales reps need to be able to sell anything to get the sale! From a development stand point, that is really hard to fulfill. Not only is it hard to fulfill, but it is really confusing when trying to explain to people what we do and what we offer!
I have recent read an article from ars technica and they nailed it on the head. They nailed it while making fun of NBC and their TV Offerings.
They had a great quote that we all need to think about and really think if we are offering a similar delima to our products!
Why NBC continues to make valiant efforts to dilute the strength of its brand by launching all of these services is a little beyond us. Focusing efforts on a single service that kicks ass does a lot more good than making things available through every outlet imaginable, all with different content and restrictions that only serve to confuse users.
Are we confusing our customers and our employees by allowing sales the ability to sale anything just to get the sale?
