CharTec And GreatAmerica Combine Resources; Announce Exclusive Two-Day Sales Training Event

CharTec CEO Alex Rogers to Present Managed Services Sales Approach

GreatAmerica Financial Services Corporation announced recently it will host its first ever Managed Services Sales Training with CharTec CEO, Alex Rogers. The event will be held September 16 and 17 at GreatAmerica Headquarters in Cedar Rapids and is targeted toward Solution Providers seeking to improve their sales process. Mr. Rogers is well known among Solution Providers, having developed and implemented sales processes in the technology market since starting his own technology company in 1992.

Since founding CharTec in 2009, Mr. Rogers has helped Solution Providers close $1M MRR deals, reach record margins, and increase sales by 200 percent. “We chose to partner with CharTec because of their successful track record helping Solution Providers learn to bundle their services and hardware into an easy-to-sell monthly payment,” said Greg VanDeWalker, GreatAmerica Unified Communications and IT Group Senior Vice President and General Manager.

The two-day training will look at increasing the number of first appointments, conducting discoveries to uncover latent challenges experienced by prospects, and “handling every objection thrown their way, all while effectively killing common objections heard so that you’ll never have to hear them again,” according to Mr. Rogers. “We cover the CharTec Sales Process, focusing on the strategic approach to Managed Services sales, from the marketing message, to the presentation, to close,” said Mr. Rogers.

“I have seen Solution Providers benefit immediately from incorporating bundled monthly payments after attending similar CharTec trainings,” said VanDeWalker. “With no upfront cash outlays, customers enjoy a ‘cloud-like’ financial experience while Solution Providers avoid the risk of a traditional HaaS.”

Seating for the September training is limited. To learn more and register for the event visit: www.greatamerica.com/chartec.
