Lanier product, The Lanier Rewards claiming is making you enter: -The business name -The contact name -The contact phone -The contact e-mail Has this procedure changed for Ricoh or Savin dealer claims as well? I've checked all of the FAQ's and Rules sections and have found nothing. I simply do not like the idea of providing so much information. Please share your thoughts....

Also, If that doesn't fix it, you might have to do a firmware upgrade on the machine. For instance, I had to update the firmware on the Savin C2525 in order to SMB scan to Vista PC's. Savin/Ricoh didn't mention this until I called with an issue.

So you are going to sell a product that you believe in. Next thing you need to do is your research. Do your "homework". Find out as much as you can about the product and the sort of people you will be selling the product to. If you are selling to a select clientel then you will need to understand them and be able to talk to them in their "language" using their terminology. If you are going to be selling to a wide range of people then you will have to become adept in being able to pick people

Yes I do work for RBS. I have never seen any information being fed from Aficio league or DMAP info from dealers, nor have I ever heard of it happening. I do understand your concerns however. I use "fictitious" info when I register my sales.

Displacing a competitor from their accounts can be a very difficult task. At the same time, displacing a competitor can be very lucrative for salespeople and an extremely profitable way for your company to increase its market share. To be successful, salespeople should be careful in their approach and message to the competitor’s client.

So you believe Ricoh is making a huge database too. We are smart for aligning ourselves with RBS...I believe that they will cut off the smaller independent dealers and for a while there will be only large dealers and manufacturers. How long have you been with RBS...I have been here just over a year. Well how do you get your leads from your RBS? A few of the older guys here said ricoh used to have hot leads that they would get from corporate and they brought stuff over from previous dealerships

It has been the same for Ricoh, the only correct info I give is the corp name and everything else is false.
