Over the last few years, I started to see the writing on the wall, you know the signs of a sinking ship (I should have abandon ship a few years ago) Where we had inventory, now their was none. Where we had a demo room, and then there was none. Where we had test machines and then their were none. We used to be able to get systems in a few days .. go here or the rest of the thread

We have sold a used Ricoh 240w that has the interface card install in unit. I understand that a external PC is need to use as a printer/scanner. Not being an authorized dealer and not seen one of these machines being used for printing, was wondering what is need in PC to connect to 240w. We had a few requests from other customers looking at wide format. We can pickup used machines from wholesaler and some of them have card installed in copier but do not have the external pc. Thanks

, TABS, CBS, KMBS, SBS, Xerox and Global all in our market place, direct branch sales managers were gung ho on buying business and buying clicks, and they had deep pockets. My best guess is at times deals from direct branches had no more than 6-8% margins. This type of selling took many traditional accounts and the effects were soon felt. I've often stated that the dealers subsidize the direct branches. Manufacturers will say its not true, however the books are held so tight we'll never know. I
about any product. In this class we will use copier sales training as our Sales Cross-Training product example. In this selling techniques training course you will learn that all sales have a cycle. You may have heard attention, interest, desire and conviction. Certainly, these happen within the sales cycle, but what exactly is the breakdown of the cycle. Each product, tangible, like copiers or intangible, like life insurance, has it’s own unique cycle. Your particular product may have 4 steps
following the steps of this process is necessary to have a successful relationship. Now, let’s look at a typical sales process. Cold call Second cold call Business meeting or event Warm call or referral Testimonials Demonstration Present to decision makers Close If you ask your prospect to buy on the cold call, you will get rejected, just like above. So write down the steps to your sales process and follow them. In fact, the more steps you have, the better the chance of relationship selling
DALLAS TWP. – Facing the loss of jobs and the end of Coates Toners, three company executives bought the business from its parent owner, Sun Chemical, last month. The deal announced Thursday saved 30 jobs at the manufacturer of toner for copiers, laser and digital printers on Country Club Road. Four additional positions could be created as Coates transfers equipment to make color toner from a division Sun closed in the United Kingdom in December, said Paul Clothier, chief executive officer of

The PC's that w installed with the 240W's hold the plotbase software and all the licenses for scanning and printing along with the print card or interfa card. Not sure which one. But one of those cards are in the PC that was sold with the 240W. You can buy licenses, however there are no more cards (Printer controller and interface) avaialable new. I would call the wholesaler and tell him the deal, maybehe cfind you a card. This isone of the reasons why you need to be authorized for Ricoh wide

should encourage a sales team to get all the pages. Local Printers Count Question: Due MPS programs that are focused on network printers succeed? Answer: Yes, for a limited time with short term results. Focusing on the network printers via your pay plan or because of your collection or ERP will cause your program to start and stop. Solutions: Build your MPS program to encompass all the pages at a customer location. Your program should offer a total printing strategy. Dealers Don’t Need a

I've always been puzzled when I work with IT guys who are obviously more knowledgable than me and we are working through adding a network printer when they select "network printer" instead of "local printer" and creating an IP port. I normally interject that I do it this way and they concede in doing it my way. Does anyone know if there are benefits to setting up a printer in this manner (\\printername\printermodel for port)? I haven't found any advantages, but I can think of a few negatives
Thought I would share this with everyone, I found this over the weekend while surfing the web: Don't Nickel & Dime the Client In executive sales training, the ultimate first goal of your sale should be a WIN for your client. Your client must feel they is getting a great value for his money. Believe it or not, most clients like to deal with someone who is successful and don’t mind paying for this extra service they provide. Here’s a great example: The company I worked for once bought a copier
possible beat them, no matter how cheap they were. This is something that Tony understood. He realized that he was the best, the BMW of C-PAP. You may say that sure, but it took him more time than normal to make the sale, and he probably doesn’t sell as many machines as the other salespeople. You would be right! The average C-PAP salesman sells about 30 machines per month and makes $100 per machine. This means that they bring home around $3,000 or so per month. Tony, on the other hand sells about 18
Art, You must know that we all wish nothing but the best for you. It seems at first blush that your situation has dramatically improved for the better. I today's marketplace there is simply no room for those dealerships that want to just get by. If they aren't willing to provide their sales force with the resources they need to compete in today's world then they will go the way of Century. Far too many dealerships are still run by men that sold typewriters to make a living and can't understand
We are looking for a 2-roll Kip 5000 w/STF and PDF license (we can order in stf and pdf so not critical) with a sub-100k meter. Shoot me an email at sales@copiergeeks.biz if anyone out there has one for wholesale.
Whatever automotive sales training may have taught you in the past about the assume consent close, I challenge you to keep an open mind about the new look and feel of the close as described here. First, let’s look at the past ‘assume consent’ close and how it was used. Long ago, prospects were not as educated as they are today. Car salespeople were also not as respected as they are today. The single most important point of a close, back then, was to get the objection out so you could cover it
now, try it out and decide at home. The neighbors, family, friends and work buddys ask about it and so on. Sucessful copier reps use this sales strategy almost every time. Once the prospect tries it out for a few days, they can't live without it. I saw Ralph, the car man, use this sucessfully 6 out of 6 times. His sales strategy was to use this only if his prospect met the following buying criterior: 1. They were credit worthey. 2. He felt he wasn't able to close them that day. 3. He felt they
try the Columbo close on you so you can experience it first hand! Oh, by the way, "just one more thing"...check out the Sales Cross-Training Book. To continue and select another close to study go back to auto sales training and pick another close to study. Or, go back to copier sales training.
The print card that was originally with the unit has a serial number that any print, pdf, or scan oprions originally purchased are tied to (via the serial number). That card is worth $1500 - $3000. It's worth tracking down if possible. Otherwise, I think "wide format guy" or Ratio America (http://www.ratioamerica.com) might be able to help you with a print card and options.
I have had my fair share of Wells Fargo. I don't have any business with them now for that sole reason of the Letter of Intents. The only way my "former" customer could get out of the WF lease was to take them to small claims court. I learned a valuable lesson that the customer expects the salesperson to handle any and all questions from the leasing company. If the customer did not do what you told them to do on sending the letter in, it is still the salesperson's fault. If you want to keep
Not sure if this would help, but: Since SP2 was released, it is necessary to put a port exception into windows firewall (TCP and UDP 3670) for ScanRouter to work. It may be as simple as that if you haven't done so, do thist first and test. Second, I'd try to get in contact with the person who set up the network. If they have a WAN, they probably have someone who knows more about their set up than I will ever know. I would connect the copier to a laptop with a crossover cable or install a switch
independently on serval pc's, that IT would have to support. If it's only installed in one place (print server) and it has a problem, once i fix the issue there printing is then restored to everyone. After you install the printer on a server you share it the use the syntax to connect to it as \\servername\printer name. You can even email a link to everyone within the organization to install it. The end user simply click's the link and they are prompted to install it with one click. Hope this makes sense.
In one form or another my dealership has been creating MPS programs for printers and MFP's combined since 2004. This coming fiscal year we are setting up a division just for MPS. Does anyone out there have a job description they can share with me?
screen user interface, embedded PC with Windows® XP operating system, scan area from 5 ½” x 8 ½” to 18” x 24”, and integrated vending interface. This scanner will replace multi-function copiers with face-up scanning that is especially important for protecting the integrity of fragile archival books and ledgers. The book2 net kiosk represents a significant advance in user simplicity making it an ideal book scanner in public walk up environments. Mark Wise, President of Tameran, commented that
know the number. I hit the speed dial for information that I have programmed. The voice at the other end says, "City & State." I say, "Garland, Texas." He says, "Business Name or Type of Service." I say, "Firewheel Golf Course." He says, "Connecting" and Firewheel answers the phone. How great is that? This is nationwide and it is absolutely free!
