Smart Net Total Care The Customer Conversation – The Defense
How to Handle Customer Objections We already have Asset Management tools (Prime LMS – Solar Winds)
Those are great tools that are complimented by SNTC, SNTC provides ease of access to Contract data, status, consolidation, delta reporting and other
features that compliment the asset management capabilities offered by those other tools.
I have a good handle on my Cisco Inventory.Reply: But do you have the same handle on your contract status? Few customers do. Could you benefit from a detailed report showing the current, accurate contract status for each
device in your network?
We don’t allow Collectors on our network.Reply: SNTC currently has over 1000 customers globally, in every industry and customer size. Many of those customers had similar concerns until they spoke to our security Subject Matter
Expert and our Collector Security Team. Would you be willing to speak with them so they can understand and address your concerns?

Smart Net Total Care Setting Customer Expectations• Don’t forget to ask the customer to provide partner access!• Smart Net Total Care works with an extensive list of ‘Supported’ Cisco products
but not all products! A complete list will be available on Cisco.com and Partner Central and is updated
with each release. There is no support for Cisco ‘application’ software licenses in this release
• Smart Net Total Care does not … Generate a single service price for the network Generate a single service contract for the network
SNTC can simplify a complex contract structure, but not all service-levels can be consolidated (nor should they be)
Replace the CSCC contract management utilitySNTC can generate uploads for CSCC in preparation for a quote
Replace expert judgmentOnce in place, basic contract clean-up and consolidation is performed
There will always be some data quality updates that can only be managed by human resources familiar with the customer’s network

network devices Will need to train on the use of the collector to run Network Discovery and to
maintain the collector Device List. May need to support iterative discovery sessions to complete network
access May have to open ports on firewalls to allow collector access to devices Will need to update ‘Device List’ routinely or Run periodic network discovery sessions
