Samsung Support: Before and After the Sale Q4 2019

Samsung Support: Before and After the Sale Q4 2019

Just the Facts! In the worlds of AV, IT, and digital signage, a tried and true axiom should be at the front of everyone’s mind: It is not if, but when a problem arises, and how that problem is solved, that determines the success or failure of a project. We can all buy products from a vast array of sources but the real differentiation in our distributors and vendors is support not only during, but also after the sale. Remember that everyone treats you well during the sales cycle, but it ultimately is those that provide true support all the way through the project that makes the difference. We should all know that we get what we pay for, and in the real world there is a huge difference between price and cost! The teams at Samsung specialize in support before, during, and after the sale. Lets examine the facts surrounding this claim.

Samsung, a Key Part of the Team To many, the concept of service and support is simply a marketing phrase with no substance. The good news is that Samsung not only promotes the concept of service and support, they fulfill that promise for their partners. There are few, if any, manufacturers that provide the level of support that Samsung offers. Let’s examine the specific Samsung support programs provided for you, and let you decide.

Samsung Direct Support Programs Samsung offers several direct lines of technical support for their resellers and end users. There is a dedicated B2B support team, accessible through several targeted 800 number hotlines. These include: A highly trained MagicInfo dedicated support team B2B commercial LFD technical support Hospitality TV LFD technical support Warranty and hardware service These hotlines are available to support your questions and technical issues directly from Samsung.
