SUMMARY
As Recession hit America in 2008-2009, riskbecame a four-letter word to many CIOs. There couldn't have been a worse time for HP to try to get them to sign expensive, large-scale printing servicing contracts. Yet the brand successfully brought in $120M in new contract value, thanks to a simple, but very effective business idea: the Printing Payback Guarantee. A unique offer CIOs couldn't refuse, because it turned their fear of risk into a growth opportunity.
