HP2-I47 - Selling HP PS Lifecycle Services 2023

The benefits for HP Partners to attach HP Lifecycle Services to HP hardware are A. By increasing customer stickiness via deeper relationships through end-to-end solutions and D. By increasing the average unit price of hardware sales to drive higher margins. According to the HP Lifecycle Services website1, HP Lifecycle Services provide IT with efficient, cost-effective solutions for device management that help keep the business in motion. By attaching HP Lifecycle Services to HP hardware, HP Partners can offer their customers a complete and integrated solution that covers the entire device lifecycle, from planning and design to configuration and deployment, to workforce support and secure eco-friendly device refreshes1. This can help HP Partners increase customer loyalty and satisfaction by providing them with a consistent and reliable service experience throughout the device lifecycle1. Moreover, by attaching HP Lifecycle Services to HP hardware, HP Partners can also increase their revenue and profitability by adding value to their hardware sales and enhancing their competitive differentiation2. HP Lifecycle Services can help HP Partners increase the average unit price of hardware sales by offering additional services that address the customer’s specific needs and challenges, such as operating system and firmware updates, accidental damage protection, defective media retention, device recovery and recycling, and more2. Therefore, by attaching HP Lifecycle Services to HP hardware, HP Partners can benefit from both increasing customer stickiness via deeper relationships through end-to-end solutions and increasing the average unit price of hardware sales to drive higher margins.

The correct answer is D. The Partner must input order details through the HP Channel Services Network portal within five business days of closing the deal.

The HP Channel Services Network (CSN) portal is a web-based tool that enables HP Partners to register, track, and manage HP Lifecycle Services orders. It also provides access to various resources, such as training, certification, and support. The Partner must use the CSN portal to input the order details, such as customer name, service type, device serial number, and service start date, within five business days of closing the deal. This is necessary to activate the service and ensure timely delivery12.

The other options are incorrect because:

• The Partner does not need to complete the registration process by using the hyperlink sent in an email. This is only required for customers who purchase HP Lifecycle Services directly from HP or through an online reseller3.
• Registration does not have to be performed within 10 days from the day the service is sold. This is only a recommendation to avoid any delays or issues in service delivery4.
• Delivery of the hardware does not have to be scheduled within 30 days after the service is sold. This is not related to the registration of HP Lifecycle Services. The hardware delivery is subject to the availability and shipping terms of the Partner or HP.

The important consideration that you should discuss with this customer is D. HP Care Packs must be attached at the time of purchase or within 90 days of the purchase of the devices.

HP Care Packs are services that provide an enhanced level of support and/or an extension of the duration of the HP Limited Warranty for HP devices. They offer various options for repair time, on-site support, exchange, collection and return by a carrier, installation by an HP technician, and more12.

However, HP Care Packs are only available for devices that are in good working condition at the time of purchase. Therefore, customers must purchase and register HP Care Packs at the same time as they purchase their devices or within 90 days of the device purchase date. Otherwise, they will not be eligible for HP Care Pack services12.

If you want to help the customer find the right HP Care Pack for their devices, you can use the HP Care Pack Finder tool on the HP website3. You can also contact an HP representative for more details or assistance.
