Third Week of January 2020
Real Copier Sales...
Real copier sales go beyond just moving hardware; they focus on understanding the unique needs of each business and tailoring solutions that optimize workflows, reduce costs, and enhance productivity. Successful sales reps analyze a client’s print environment, identify inefficiencies, and propose devices that align with their goals—whether it's upgrading technology, lowering operational expenses, or improving security. Building relationships, offering ongoing support, and delivering measurable value are what truly drive sustainable copier sales in today’s competitive market.

Does any manufacturer still make an 11 x 17 printer. Lexmark did but they are going away from it and Ricoh used to. Canon used to make the 40ppm system as a printer only. I have one customer who is adamant that the machine be a printer only and not na MFP and runs about 5k color and 3K b/w. Can't get through to him that an MFP will be fine for what he is doing. He uses the Lexmark we sold him now, but the department is growing and he wants something more capable without it being an MFP.
