FAQ For Cisco Account Teams
What is a "personalized VIP briefing"?
We’ll introduce your customer (and you) to top startups and entrepreneurs that align to your customer’s priorities – giving them a “behind the scenes” look at the innovation Cisco is tracking. Based on how many topics and startups the customer would like to explore, we will adjust the meeting length. We’ll also pair you with a Cisco Investments “tour guide” who will be with your customer every step of the way.
