Welcome to GreatConversations, a podcast about leadership and life from GreatAmerica Financial Services. Mitch Leahy, VP and General Manager for our office Equipment Group, hosts our series of talks with thought leaders and innovators from across the business world. On today’s episode of GreatConversations, Mitch hosts Jenna (Stramaglio) Miner, Channel Development Manager at ConnectWise, and daughter of industry icon, Mike Stramaglio. Jenna talks about growing up in the business and becoming entrenched in the industry for over two decades. She shares some of the lessons she’s learned when it comes to developing her confidence and overcoming anxiety around public speaking and offers her perspective on “the changing of the guard,” as legacy leaders begin passing the baton to the next wave of Gen X and Millennial leaders.
Picture this: You presented your customer a convenient monthly payment on your total solution, and now they are ready to move forward. What’s next? It is time to present the lease agreement for review and signature. Often, when a legal document is presented for signature, it can often feel overwhelming – words and unfamiliar terminology cover the page and the entire experience may feel lackluster or dare we say it – slimy. We do not want the above scenario to be your customer’s reality. So what does that process look like when working with GreatAmerica? Today, we'll walk you through the next steps and describe in detail, what your customer can expect when you decide to offer financing through GreatAmerica.

Today these objectives have become more challenging, as businesses run ‘lean and mean’ on resources. In times of economic uncertainty, strong and secure cash flow in the form of contracted recurring revenue can provide some stability and assurance that payments will continue to flow into the business. Bundling can help you do just that! Offering a bundled payment and delivering a true single invoice solution to your customers creates a better customer experience and stronger relationships. It can also help to increase your bottom line, grow your enterprise value, and secure future cash flow and revenue streams.

Hardware as a Service (HaaS) vs. Hardware as a Rental® (HaaR®) vs. Lease We like to say that the GreatAmerica Hardware as a Rental® (or HaaR®) solution combines the best attributes of Hardware as a Service (or HaaS) and leasing. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Solution Providers are able to present their clients with an all-inclusive monthly subscription payment, without hurting their cash flow. At its core, HaaR® is an equipment rental agreement with HaaS-like features.
