Brian Tracy says in The Effective Manager, that "change is accelerating." I believe that, do you? What does that mean to you? You know the old saying, "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always have what you always had." I don't think that is true anymore. If you always do what you've always done, you will continually have less and less. If we are not consciously getting better, we are unconsciously getting worse. In our business, if you are not growing, you are being passed by more competent and better educated competition.

Competitive Info Toshiba 3511
I have a banking propect that is interested in a new copier. They are in tight with my competition but want a "me to" proposal from me. The competition is proposing a Toshiba 3511. A good comparison would be the Savin 3210. But, my experience has been that these machines are not good in "high" volume black and white environments because of the image cycle. Does anyone have experience with the 3511 and now if it goes into an image cycle like the Ricoh B2C machines? Or any other competitive info

Not a bad approach, I have used it for years when I thought it would benefit the customer. However some customers still would like to have the system as an "all in one".

Yes, at this point I've decided to propose the Savin C2820 and the C3224, we have the 2820 in the office along with the 3210 and I can show the customer the differences. The color on the 2820 is unbelievable! Some of the graphics I've printed actually look like stickers or embossed images on the page and even color print is raised to the touch. There is a definite "pop" to the color that I haven't seen on the B2C machines. The prospect is not really interested in printing or scanning but on the

You missed my point...Where do we get per-launch material? I'm talking about the stuff we aren't supposed to know yet. We get it from DSR's who share with one of us more information than they are supposed to. We then post it here for all the world to see. Ricoh can trace back to the DSR based on the territory the posting rep was from and he/she gets in trouble for spilling the beans and the pipeline dries up.
