A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from my inside rep at Intel asking if I would be interested in having someone from Intel stop by our office to chat with my staff. I jumped at the chance!
Although we regularly attend the Intel Channel Conferences and I had an opportunity to talk to Intel at Breakaway, that doesn't translate into an opportunity for the entire staff to talk to someone in person.
So at a few minutes after 9am this morning, Max Glover was standing in our office ready to field questions from my team. I spent a little time telling him what we do and showing him our office, as well as introducing him to everyone. Then my staff started asking him questions about the new products that they have heard and read about. I think that they enjoyed being able to have a conversation with someone who could explain a bit about Intel's strategy for new product development and let us know what things to expect over the next 12 to 18 months.
Max had questions for us as well. He was interested to know how we see Intel products fitting into what we do and whether or not we had encountered any problems that he could help us with. It was reaffirming to us to know that the ways that we envision positioning products is right in line with how Intel is promoting them.
As Max left, he thanked us for taking time out of our day to chat with him. He said that he thought he was the major beneficiary of our time together as it is important that he understand how companies like KI are utilizing Intel products, as well as the full range of services we provide. But I think that my team certainly felt that they had gained from the time spent with Max as well.
We will certainly welcome Max back into our office at any time!
