By financing your customers&amp;#8217; total IT solution with zero payments for six months, you can sell more, more often and help build relationships that grow at the same time. It&amp;#8217;s simple - start by submitting a customer credit application at &lt;a href="http://www.MicrosoftFinancing.com/applications.aspx"&gt;www.MicrosoftFinancing.com/applications.aspx&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Upon approval, submit your partner invoice to receive your customer&amp;#8217;s finance documents. As soon as Microsoft receives the signed finance documents you get paid and continue helping more customers and closing more deals.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;With approval of credit, Microsoft Financing will cover your customers&amp;#8217; total IT solution: Microsoft software, partner services like consultation, installation and training - plus third-party software, services and hardware. Offer valid 07/07/2008 &amp;#8211; 06/30/2009&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;For more information and to view the terms and conditions visit: &lt;a title="https://www.microsoftfinancing.com/smartpaypromo.aspx" href="https://www.microsoftfinancing.com/smartpaypromo.aspx"&gt;https://www.microsoftfinancing.com/smartpaypromo.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3119695" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.technet.com/uksbsc/archive/tags/Microsoft+Finance/default.aspx">Microsoft Finance</category></item></channel></rss>
