Be smart. Be different. Be creative.
The facts:
End users who buy low cost consumer smart phones and PDAs pay a high price in repairs, increased support needs and lost productivity. Did you know these costs exceed any purchase price savings within just two years? Shouldn’t you be advising your customers to go RUGGED?
If those facts weren’t enough to tempt your customers over to RUGGED, here are some more which could just make your job even easier. End users lose an average of 75 minutes of productivity each time their device fails. With the average consumer device failing as much as 20 times per year, that’s around £2300 in lost revenues per employee per year. End users simply cannot rely on consumer-grade devices for mission critical business activities.

Be smart. Selling rugged enables you to sell higher value products with a range of added-value services.
Be different. Differentiate yourself from your competition by adding rugged PDAs to your portfolio.
Be creative. Design and develop solutions based around rugged PDAs with Avnet services
It’s time to sell RUGGED. Sell Intermec.
