Google Cloud Sales/Startups completely unresponsive?
3 by sgammon | 3 comments on Hacker News.
We are a newly funded startup and trying to enroll with Google for multi-cloud Anthos, which we thought was a big push on their sales team (a crown jewel product, etc). But whenever we call Google Cloud Sales, the representatives are outright rude and tell us that they can only "give out public pricing information," that they can't connect us with anyone else inside Google, and so on. They tell us that there is no technical or sales account relationship on an ongoing basis, but that hasn't been true at the last 5-10 companies we've all worked at. The Cloud Startups team hasn't responded in a month and a half, while Amazon and Microsoft were quick to issue granted funds. What's going on, is anybody else seeing this? We are longtime Google Cloud fans -- decades amongst us all -- and it's sad to see this, because we really just want to give Google our money and use their systems. Usually that is the barrier but it seems like it is not enough anymore. Sorry for the rant on Hckrnews but we are honestly just wondering if this problem is more widespread or if we need to explain our opportunity better to get through Sales.
