You ARE the right person, as you want to sell CentOS support.

You do this for a living => you are a commercial entity. If you want to know
what support YOU can expect from the community, and are satisfied with a
marketing-written page that gives you "warm fuzzies", then you're way off
mark. Instead, you should follow this list for several months and use that
experience when you make your recommendations to your customers.

from RedHat!
What you don't get is a phone-droid that's being paid minimum wages to
listen to phone abuse.....
