How much free shit does Dell give you on that size order? I've only gotten a few servers from Dell (gotta love free stuff), all the "workstations" I use a local vendor/whitebox setup.

Yeah, they're a bitch and I'm glad I don't have to support the little bricks. But they're what we use as public workstations and they're up 24/7. So I'm waiting to hear back from the guys in that group.

Man, this production makes me jealous! I'm as full-fold-ahead as I can get right now... maybe I'll bother the guys at work.

I probably should've clarified in the first post. I tend to word things horribly.AtomicMoose said:Boy, I read your first post wrong then.....sorry.
Anyway, I hate seeing this PPD gap open up while I'm helpless. I can't borg anything, as school isn't "open" and I'm not on my college campus yet. The friends who would try it are borged, the ones who aren't...still won't do it.
I work for the LA District Attorney, so I highly doubt I'd be able to get far enough to be able to do anything.
"Hey, systems? This is blah blah from the Rio Hondo DA's office...yeah I have this idea..."
mm...yeah...I'm not thinking it'll work.

Well I did about 750K with Dell last year and I got a free Axim.. and that was only because they assed up and shipped it to me by mistake. When I asked my sales rep about it (was wondering why I got it --and making sure they didnt charge me for it) he said "congrats on your new Axim"

with order, about 10%+ of order value. Order 2 servers for 10k (just an example) they add a UPS valued at 1k, discount the servers more to make the whole mess come back out at 10k.
I've read most guys ordering lots of servers end up with free servers, buy 10 get one free type of deal.
Part of my problem is that I get 5% over cost pricing across the board (or so they say anyway) so there isnt a lot of wiggle room. It is funny when they send me the Buy 2 get 1 free or buy 5 get one free deals. These are good deals depending on what they are but to be honest I run a small consulting service (200 or so clients) and am hard pressed to find folks who need 1 much less 2 Quad Xeon 3Ghz servers with 64GB RAM so I can get one free. Also they base the first 2 on retail price with no discount so if you need 3 it is a good deal as it ends of being about 35% off all 3 of them but if you dont need 3 then the pricing isnt all that great. I did get a bunch of free printers end of last quarter when I had a customer that decided to put in 3100cns across their entire office (real estate company with about 200 PCs) but they got all the printers and I gave em a GREAT price on them as they bought like 50 so I probably made the same on selling each of the 50 that I would have made on selling 1 (which isnt much to start with but the labor costs WOOHOO!)

Makes sense, we're ordering at the enterprise level, so we just get a set percentage off of all our server orders. We have standard percentage off of desktops, except for our default configs, which we get huge discounts off of. So no free stuff with the order for us. That's what the onsite reps are for...
Yea, once you hit a sertian level the prices drop and that's what the reps are for.
For the little guys, what ever you do never place an online order. Always call them and the discounts are always far greater than online plus free stuff!

I think it's that way with the sales reps, they seem to change jobs/accounts a lot. Our one onsite rep has been here atleast 3 years and our other has been here about 2. At my old desk, it was nice, just walked 50 feet around the corner and there was the onsite rep (engineer). Needless to say, I got enough stuff to play with...now I actually have to call or email them.
It seems I never place an order with the same rep twice. Whatever... they all seem to cut the same deals..marty9876 said:Do your Dells reps seem to have their jobs for about 2 weeks max? I don't order Dell often, every time seems like the last rep I worked with is someplace else...

OMG yes! The turnover rate for our Dell reps is astonishing. Every few weeks, we get a new rep. And they screw us just as bad as the previous.
Our client is this >< close to switching to either HP or IBM.
