Selling Everything-As-A-Service: Managed Services Training With CharTec CEO Alex Rogers

GreatAmerica and Collabrance Launch Sales Simplicity Seminars

GreatAmerica Financial Services Corporation and Collabrance LLC announced recently they will host the first of their Sales Simplicity Seminars in June. The Selling Everything-as-a-Service training with Hardware as a Service (HaaS) trainer and Chartec founder, Alex Rogers will be held in Iowa, Georgia, and California. The seminars are for Solution Providers seeking to learn how to successfully sell an “all-in” solution, including Hardware as a Service.

“Since we hosted our first event with CharTec last September we have seen multiple Solution Providers successfully closing bundled HaaR® transactions,” said Greg VanDeWalker, GreatAmerica Unified Communications and IT Group Senior Vice President and General Manager. “With no upfront cash outlays, customers enjoy a ‘cloud-like’ financial experience while Solution Providers avoid the risk of a traditional HaaS.”

“Participants leave this training able to sell bigger deals faster and confidently overcome objections that got in their way before,” said Lindsay Dick, Director of Sales for Collabrance, LLC. “This training is effective for Solution Providers who want to increase their monthly recurring revenue and are willing to follow the CharTec methodology.”

Since founding CharTec in 2009, Rogers has helped Solution Providers close $1M MRR deals, achieve record margins, and increase sales by 200 percent. Rogers says the workshops can improve the number of first appointments, and show how discovery can uncover latent challenges experienced by prospects. “We want Solution Providers to handle every objection thrown their way, so we give them the tools to overcome common challenges,” said Rogers. “We cover the CharTec Sales Process, focusing on the strategic approach to Managed Services sales, from marketing message, to presentation, to close.”

• June 9 & 10 – GreatAmerica and Collabrance Headquarters, Cedar Rapids, IA
• July 21 & 22 – Standard Office Systems Headquarters, Duluth, GA
