Hardware as a service (HaaS) isn’t a completely unknown business model, but
it’s certainly one of the managed service offerings that have puzzled solution
providers. Where ARRC has taken much of the pain and mystery out of HaaS with
its CharTec program, its channel account managers Frank Gurnee and Brian
Freistat are the dynamic duo that makes HaaS accessible and understandable to
solution providers.
Gurnee and Freistat have earned the respect and loyalty of ARRC partners for
providing them with the training, materials and access required to make the
HaaS managed services model work and profitable. Partners praise the pair for
their tireless work in preaching the HaaS mantra to the masses while providing
individual level care and support. Their contributions span the gamut of
enablement to troubleshooting. When something goes wrong in the middle of the
night, partners know they can call Gurnee and Freistat.
Here’s a sampling of what ARRC partners had to say about this dynamic duo.
“Frank and Brian have shown their ongoing commitment and support to the
continued growth and success of their partners. Their continued high-quality
interaction and timely response is critical to the ongoing success of their
partners.”
“Frank and Brian have been instrumental in sharing their wealth of
experience and sales knowledge while rolling our Managed Service offering. They
have both helped tremendously to help overcome objections.”
“Frank and Brian have done an outstanding job of taking care of me and my
business from a Channel perspective. If anything ever goes wrong, Frank and
Brian are the guys I turn to!”
It’s hard to fake that kind of satisfaction and loyalty. Gurnee's and Freistat’s
dedication and commitment to their partners is evident, and they are setting a
new standard for fostering and maintaining strong partner relationships. And
this makes Gurnee and Freistat more than worthy of the Channel Insider
Challenger Bull’s Eye Award for Channel Account Manager of the Year.
