Michael Dell, boost customer and IdeaStorm relations by...

140 points posted to Dell Community, IdeaStorm by phubert 11/15/07

Michael Dell, on your next visit to India, PLAN to drop-in on active IdeaStorm participants from India: premcv and Petzy!

Many of us at IdeaStorm would appreciate this!

I think YOU would benefit from meeting such outstanding and supportive individuals.

They are participating here constructively and faithfully.

It would further cement Dell relations with India and India staff.

WE think they're great and Petzy, especially, thinks YOU'RE great!!

As @sugarbear suggested in a comment:

** consider at least SENDING A LETTER ***

premcv
11/15/07		 Hopefully by the next visit, I might end up as an employee. I'm trying!

Also, I'd say not only from India. Why not the others, jervis, phubert, and the rest of the troopers. All of the troopers have been around since the time Ideastorm kick started. Just paying us a visit won't suffice. Pay a visit to all of them. While its possible. It will work wonders for the Customer-Ideastorm relations.
phubert
11/15/07		 Well, being the shy and retiring type, I don't think I'd really care for such a visit! :-D
Like the Centurion's reply to Jesus "I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof!"
If Michael Dell -did- visit one of YOU, though, I'd be VERY pleased with him and he'd gain significant respect from me.
sugarbear
11/15/07		 THINK of the POSITIVE publicity this would generate. After all I can`t think of another human being that is positive about Sir Michael.
premcv
11/15/07		 I'm of the same type, phubert, of the shy type. So, I too wouldn't want to. But yes, sb, it would be a good +ve publicity.
aikiwolfie
11/15/07		 If Micheal Dell visits me it better be with a job offer or at least my XPS 700 upgrade kit. He can sort out my new extended warranty while he's at it. Maybe admin1 will take us under her wing and show us the Dell way!?
premcv
11/15/07		 LOL, wolfie!
phubert
11/15/07		 Very few people would ever see me as being 'shy and retiring' ... however, they just don't know. In a way, I'm glad I'm fooling everyone! :-)

But, yes, sugarbear, this would be VERY positive publicity and no, I doubt Michael Dell could easily find anyone as supportive as Petzy!
jervis961
11/15/07		 I think if I told Dell where I lived DA1 would be hiding in a tree outside to snipe me after all my recent postings. :)
premcv
11/15/07		 ROTFLMHO, jervis! Now, now. But, do you think she'd hire Navy Seal snipers? Wow... You are hi-profile, man!
jervis961
11/15/07		 Nah, she'd do it herself, misfire and take off my ear or something.
aikiwolfie
11/15/07		 I think she'd come round and make you sit on the naughty step.
jervis961
11/15/07		 Oh, the naughty step doesn't do anything. I could suggest something else but don't want to start that kind of conversation. :)
premcv
11/15/07		 LOL, wolfie!
jervis961
11/15/07		 Hey this made page 3 already.
premcv
11/15/07		 Yep!
dell_admin1
11/15/07		 @jervis961 - DA1 would never do such a thing! I am always open to hearing what you have to say. I wish I had someone else to handle the TOU violations - so we could have a good cop and bad cop. But instead, I have to be both for now. We'll all make it through this. :)

@phubert - thanks for your idea. I agree with you about petzy and premcv. They are indeed outstanding and supportive individuals.

@petzy and premcv - thanks for being a part of the IdeaStorm community. If I haven't shown you much appreciation lately, it's because I've been busy handling some issues. :) But I want you both to know how much Dell values your participation here. Thank you!
premcv
11/15/07		 Don't worry, DA1, I understand how it is. I'm glad to be a part of the interaction, and part of the "TROOPERS".
phubert
11/15/07		 And, DA1, THIS sort of submission is _never_ to suggest any failure on the part of the site or yourself or other Dell staff. It may sound a bit 'over the top', but I think it is a completely serious suggestion (remember, this one was sugarbear's idea... _she_ asked me to submit it!!)
premcv
11/15/07		 Lol, phubert!
jervis961
11/15/07		 DA1 - I know you wouldn't do that. My debates with you, jorge or anyone else for that matter are never personal. I just love a good debate, especially when I'm right. :)
premcv
11/15/07		 Never seen anything personal flying around. We all love debates.
dwood
11/15/07		 Me too! :P
sugarbear
11/15/07		 A good debate is healthy for the mind, body, and soul. It sure can be fun.
dwood
11/16/07		 I noticed. Who else did?
petzymathuram
11/16/07		 @ Paul- Mike should visit all of you....becoz all of us over here value Dell sooooo much isnt it?. I'm really eager to know all my Ideastorm friends...let me wait and hope for the best.

@ Dell_Admin1- Thank you so much for the response. I'm really grateful.
dwood
11/16/07		 I just met you petzy but HI!!!!
petzymathuram
11/16/07		 dwood- You just met me?...where did you meet me?.....
dwood
11/16/07		 Here.
petzymathuram
11/16/07		 here?....???...more clue plzzz....;)
phubert
11/16/07		 Petzy, you don't think we are meeting one another here??? Do you feel it must be in person and face to face? Most of the people I know these days are people I've never seen and may never see!
sugarbear
11/16/07		 @DA1, You could get Michael to send a nice letter to petzy and premcv. That would also be nice for them, in case he dosen`t get there or they don`t get here.
petzymathuram
11/16/07		 @ Paul & Sugary Beary....I will see everybody one day for sure...Paul plz dont make me sad by saying you will never see me plz plz..

@ Sugary Beary......"no excuse" for withdrawing "on meeting"...A letter really can't substitute the happiness that can be got through meeting in person...but I'm juzz wondering if I am worthy to meet such great personalities in my life. Sugary beary...I need both letter and meeting...I dont want to spare anything..Can you recommend for me to DA1 like that?....;)
premcv
11/16/07		 Awww. Come now, guys!, Yea a mail will be good, it should come from Michael Dell himself, not from the Office of the CEO as is the case in other corporations. :)
petzymathuram
11/16/07		 @ Paul- Defnitely need to meet in person....It really counts a lot dear friend...;)
phubert
11/16/07		 Petzy, and how could we be any MORE worthy to meet YOU. I find it a most amazing privilege to know every person I encounter here. This is ONE thing I really CAN thank computers for! (even though I've DONE computer work for 37 years).
petzymathuram
11/16/07		 Paul- No more excuses and no more waiting and no more doubt whether we will meet...juzz close your eyes and wish..that we have to meet..."we will meet for sure"...well nice to hear that you have 37 years of computer experience....I'm actually in the phase of learning ...but whatever I learn pertaining to IT and computers , I make sure I extend them to Dell....I think I should learn a lot from you dear friend...
sugarbear
11/16/07		 @petzy, I wasn`t withdrawing the meeting, I was hopefully adding a nice letter, suitable for framing for you two. You are worthy to meet M. Dell. He puts his pants on the same way the rest of us do, his are just more expensive.(American meaning: he`s like us only wealthier.)
petzymathuram
11/16/07		 @ sugary beary- I am aware that Mike is among the big shots of the USA and it is not that easy to meet a busy, great and super personality....I'm just a very plain and ordinary person....thats Y I'm wondering whether Mike will really be happy to visit us...or will he feel uncomfortable to meet an ordinary people like me?...I juzz had a doubt....
Sugary beary...but If I'm really going to meet him....I'll surely be the happiest person...Anyways thanx for the recommendation (letter& meeting)...now that you have conveyed this to me ....I'm juz curious not to delay ....eager to get into the Dell's nest and help Dell, ideastorm friends and Dell's friends to my best....Oh when will that day be sugary beary?.....
sugarbear
11/16/07		 I`m plain and ordinary to petzy, When I met him he didn`t seem to be any different than any one else, He is a warm, friendly, knowledgeable person. He sure wasn`t uncomfortable around any one. When that day will be petzy, I don`t know. I just hope it comes in the forseeable future.
phubert
11/16/07		 Wow, sugarbear! You had the opportunity to meet Michael Dell! Not bad!
premcv
11/16/07		 How did that come about, sb? When did you meet him? I remember you mentioned it in another thread, but I've forgotten. :)
sugarbear
11/16/07		 At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last January.
premcv
11/16/07		 Nice to know! Oh the CES, cool. You had a chat with him, as well?
sugarbear
11/16/07		 A short chat.
premcv
11/16/07		 Good.
sugarbear
11/16/07		 I could have gotten lost at CES. I was just like a kid in the candy shop. I wanted to see everything and I mean everything.
premcv
11/16/07		 Yes, I've heard about the CES, it is HUGE. You CAN and sometimes some people do get lost in there.
dwood
11/16/07		 people get lost all the time. thats why some bring 2 way radios.
premcv
11/16/07		 Oh, I didn't know that!
dwood
11/16/07		 We used to do it when we went to major theme parks: Six Flags, Disney World, Universal, and Pixar.
premcv
11/16/07		 Phew!!!
dwood
11/16/07		 It was always fun though. I usually enjoyed it. It would be fun if Dell sponsored a 5 star safe roller coaster theme park in India.
petzymathuram
11/16/07		 Sugary Beary--- Thanx for the info....., it really sounds very cool. ...;).
sugarbear
11/16/07		 I didn`t mean physically lost, but you could easily do that. I meant sensory lost. So much to see, hear, touch, experience, and learn. Even if some one wasn`t really into technology, they could still find many things to interest them.
dwood
11/16/07		 No doubt does assimo go there?
sugarbear
11/16/07		 assimo?
petzymathuram
11/17/07		 Sugary Beary what is an assimo?
dwood
11/17/07		 The Honda Robot man.
petzymathuram
11/17/07		 Hi dwood.....thanx for the info.....;)
sugarbear
11/17/07		 I didn`t see him, but I didn`t see everything either.
