Why Am I Still Selling Copiers?
Art Post (Guest) ·
into copiers sales was that you had to have a station wagon?? Some of you new guys might ask why the heck so you need a station wagon, well there weren't any SUVs back then and you needed something to haul the copiers around in. That's right, back in the old days we would come in in the AM and a load a table top copier in the car, we put them on gurneys then (how morbid was that?). We would then make as many as 20 cold calls a day looking for anyone that was interested in a copier. Back then we

Is anyone familiar with this product, it is configured on the KM C6500? Im wondering if this is a tri-edge trimmer or a leading edge trimmer like the Ricoh BK-5010? Any help would be great.

"We are only as good as the people who implement the process -- that person has been separated from the city." The mayor said Mike McDowell was the employee.

Even with McDowell gone, the copiers remain and the city has reached an agreement with the company to pay the multimillion dollar bill. The copier

Re: Sales Tips

The very first rule about selling anything is you have to believe in what you are selling. How many sales people do you meet and you know straight away that they don't believe in what they are selling because you can feel it when people are lying to you. I have quite often got that feeling from used car sales people because they often know they are selling you something that you will be having trouble with later. Most of the time people sell cars because they are having trouble with them or

The immediate trend (KMBS, Xerox) is Japan direct to dealers in the USA. Global dealers are able to purchase for 30+% off of DMAP 6 equivalent. If Ricoh is going to survive this war they will have to eliminate Ricoh USA. Which got me wondering: What does Ricoh USA do for their dealers...really?!

I recentley spoke to local Global CFO, and he stated that they went to Xerox and demanded prices lower than the japanese manufacturers so they could compete. There are no spiff programs for sales people just rock bottom pricing. Keep in mind that most of the Xerox equipment is from overseas also.

We also have 1050s in the field, but we have had a different experience from you. They run well, and our support from Konica has been superb. Our Ricoh support on the production-level B&W has been lacking, to say the very least.

W2400 Notes!!!!!!
Art Post (Guest) ·
Got this from Greg in an email, can anyone else verify this? Are you aware that for a W2400 the embedded controller is already in the machine. I just did 2 installs last week..You need the Print Option W3600, Scanner Option W3600 and File Format Converter to enable it to Print and Scan. Seems to work fine w/out the Ratio software. Batch printing TIFFS and PLTs are possible thru Webprint, but not PDF's (Ricoh is fixing this, I hope). I beleive Batch printing PDF's is possible thru Desktop Binder

quote: Global dealers are able to purchase for 30+% off of DMAP 6 equivalent Do you know this or is it a guess? 30+ points off Level 6 is a pretty deep discount for Xerox. Maybe 30 pts off LDP? My guess is a smaller discount with a "pot" of discretionary funds available.

All of Ricoh is restructing with Nrg and Rioch merging in the uk after lanier was merged with NRG a year or so ago. I think they woken up to the fact they were paying for two lots of backroom staff compared to companies of a similar size.

Re: Ricoh and Server setup
My first thought is to try another driver, PCL6 or PCL5e, and see if it does the same. Are there any other shared printers that can be reinstalled to verify if the problem is really driver specific? Did you verify the paper tray settings on the device? SmartDevice Monitor can pull info from the MFP if it is used to setup the IP port.

Art, Your so right. People ask me when will I retired.(My wife retired 5 years ago). I said what will I do. Work part time a Walmart. I work the same hours now and make a lot more money and still having FUN. I like what I do and can't think of another job right now. I also travel down rural roads and I been selling in this territory for 26 years. I have a lot of great accounts and meet a lot of great people.
