IBM Business Partner Sirius Computer Solutions, North America Total solution financing IBM Distributor Arrow ECS, United Kingdom Commercial financing “We’re truly finding larger deals when we utilize IBM Global Financing, because the customer looks at a project of hardware, software, services, under one umbrella, one invoice, over a period of time, and suddenly we can grow that deal with only a very small incremental increase to what their monthly payment might be.” —Clark Landers, Director of Financial Services at Sirius Computer Solutions “I look at it from a CFO perspective and this is a great combination for our partners: a generous free credit period, followed by immediately available extended credit, with no arrangement fees at a reasonable cost. It gives our partners the flexibility to structure funding and payments to fit their cash flow.” —Grahame Benson, Arrow ECS, Chief Financial Officer

© 2014 IBM Corporation My clients have the cash, they don’t need financing Their ‘cash’ is actually working capital, a bank line of credit, etc. … which is “financing”. Introducing financing will delay my sale If you waited until they 'have the cash‘, yes they may pause … to decide what MORE they can buy! Clients never ask me about financing Maybe they would, if they knew you offered it I don't know enough about financing Just introduce the 0% loan and try the app. You don’t have to be a financing expert. Financing only makes sense for hardware, not software ANY upfront charge must be paid - somehow. Financing is only for big dealsWe’ll finance as little as $5,000 USD You won't credit approve my client Try us. Take a few minutes to enter a deal in the Rapid Financing app and submit your client for credit approval. It’s easier to drop my price than offer financing Easier to devalue your solution by discounting, but smarter to add value with financing. I don't get paid for selling financing In a way, you do… including financing can help increase your probability to win, help your clients afford to buy more and mitigate discounting for higher profit.increase your probability to win Financing isn’t a priority for me It may be for your client – remember, they can’t buy anything, without a way to pay for it.
