So Easy, A Copier Rep Can Sell It!!

The copier industry is facing tough times. It is no longer just about speeds and feeds, rather how can the equipment be used as part of a business process to increase productivity? Usually that business process includes software add-ons. The software add-ons can be for a specific task; for example, managing access and usage, or for general purpose document processing and document management. All of the manufacturers now have reliable devices that will print, scan, fax and copy in color or

How Printshops Stay in Business

? Many didn’t charge enough and built their entire marketing strategy on being the lowest-cost producer selling commodity products. As customers begin buying printing from the surviving printers, they are expecting to pay higher prices because they realize a printer must sell products and services at a price that includes a profit. Printbuyersonline.com, an organization of professional print buyers, asked its members how much do you expect prices to increase on your print projects in 2008

MP3350/Savin 9033spf Backorders
Just found out that a Savin 9033spf that I ordered last week is on backorder, all accessories shipped fine. I looked at the ETA, which shows September 2008. In other words, they have none in stock and no window of availability. However, there are still 3 of the Savin 9025's in California. If you're selling these, be prepared for a long wait!

Re: How many prospects are in your territory?
If that number of businesses includes resturants and retail, you have a tough row to hoe my friend. Really, number of businesses is a poorer way of gauging one territory vs another than number of employees. However, the only "accurate" way is to use the BEQI (pr. becky) Index. That stands for Business Equipment Quota Index which is a market quota index for B&W and Color MFP's, B&W and color printers, and Fax's. It makes it possible to compare different territories b county, metro area, or zip

You know your sales process is outdated when......

.There is little thought of or interaction with your customers' customers. Sales is a chain reaction. If your customers' customers are happy, your customer will be happy. Do you know how your product fits into the overall package your customer offers to his customers? And does your sales process address this critical link? 8.Your salespeople are internally focused. How much of your salespeople's time is spent in internal meetings and doing administrative tasks? In most companies, it's a lot. How

W2400 Embedded Printing
I have a new customer using the RPCS driver to print from Catia vs 5 out of Windows. The driver wants them to select the original size and also the output size but this will not work as they do not work with standard sizes. They may have a 36"x57" and the next is 36"x 73". They do not want to have to create a custom size each time prior to printing. Anyone know if there is a way to create a custom size that is longer than they will ever need and if the embedded controller will print only

Re: SCANNER/PRINTER KIT TYPE 7500
If you look in the footnotes that Ricoh has with their pricing, you will see that footnote (1) lists what is standard and the controller is not listed. Footnote(3) says "Machines do ot include a controller for network printing and scanning. Controller is ordered seperately." I'm sure the thought is that when there is a Fiery option, no one wants to have to pay for the Ricoh controller as well.

A Targeted Prospecting List:

A Targeted Prospecting List: Your First Step to More Sales What's the first step toward making a sale? It's not setting an appointment. It's not even picking up the telephone. The first step in making your sale is to decide who to call. Who should you call? It's an old adage, but still true: if you are marketing to everyone, you are marketing to no one. So before you can develop a list of prospects to call you must first create a profile of your ideal customer. Be specific. The better and more

Document Server Files to PDF
A customer has a Savin 4035 that he bought in 2005. He has the print/scan option, but did not get the file format converter. Now he wants to transfer his document server files over to PDF but like I said, he does not have the file format converter. Is it possible to transfer the files to PDF without the file format converter, or will he have to print the files and then scan them to a PDF?

Re: Salespeople Get No Respect?
I agree with all the responses about the fault lying with management for not standing up for the person that brings in the bacon. COMMUNICATION with all parties in a timely manner, not the day before, would have made the salesperson a happy camper. The damage was already done, but I assume the orders were processed, so if I was the salesperson, I would do like the others said and bring the donuts, lunch, drinks, whatever to try and difuse the situation from happening again.

Re: AF2232

Does it happen with both faxing and scanning? Is the image missing in the same area on scans and faxes? If this is happening with both and the same area of the image is missing on both, I would tend to think it is Operator Error or a Hardware Malfunction. Anyway you can send me docs from the unit?

Re: Document Server Files to PDF
If it is a one-time thing, print then scan is probably best. I've never done much with the File Format Converter but can't you add it? Maybe it is worth $300 to the customer to be done with it.
