thought that I was never really good at anything however I could be great at selling copiers. Many years later I had this silly notion that I wanted to make my name synonymouswith the copier industry as xerox is to a copy. What a pipe dream eh? Thus now that I'm on the downward trend of my career there are still some things that I'd like to accomplish and maybe somethings that I'd like to see happen before I exit (not saying that's going to happen any time soon). But here's my list: I'd like to

I wasn't selling Ricoh 25 years ago, bit you're right the 1224 was a pig, but guess they had nothing else to replace it that's why they did not pull the unit.

Art, this is your best post yet. Just goes to show that even the best of the best have to work hard for their sales!!

Over the years I've had the opportunity to interact with many product managers at Ricoh. This guy never returned a call, actually I'm glad he's gone.

First is this your actual reply to the account looking at thoseToshiba products listed (455 305)? If yes and they have a great history with the Toshiba product, telling them there a "bottom dweller" would make anyone think that you're only wanting to sell them what YOU'RE offering. The models they requested are older models of Toshiba and who knows if they've worked well for them or not. Also if you research the Okidata product, most of their MFP's are based on the Toshiba platform now and the
