This is a great article! One point that I disagree on is that HP will be entering the SMB market with this acquisition. What's the point? Dealers own the SMB market, and most dealers will sell whatever their customers already have. Where HP has the advantage is going into their national and global accounts where they dominate with MPS contracts on A4 devices. Finally, they can go back to the banks/governments/etc and kick out the Canon/Ricoh/Xerox A3 devices that are in there. And because HP

Attention Sales Reps... If Your LinkedIn Profile Can't Answer These 5 Questions You May Get "Vetted"
In my last post, Sales Transformation... The Key To Success As A Copier Sales Rep I went on to say, I am blown away how all the focus is continually being placed on what copier dealers need to do to succeed inside the office equipment environment. Copier dealerships need a dose of reality and accept the fact they must CHANGE their mindsets and become open to CHANGE if their dealerships are to succeed into the future. Ok, let's take the focus off "copier dealership" and insert any other

Thanks Martin Hofman, The industry needs more "Imaginationalyst" (Yes I made that word up). Without the ability to imagine a completely different way of doing things, or the ability to break loose from stubbornness. Change will always happen to you instead of being caused by you. Too much analysis not enough Imagination we need to combine them "Imaginationalyst"

I get paid strictly on GP, but I would be unopposed to a bonus structure for this model. 90% of my sales are new business, so I sell anywhere from 4 to 7 machines per month with 1000 to 2000 GP in each one.

Compensation Question

This is by no means scientific survey or anything like that just had some thoughts going through my head the last couple days. Is anyone being compensated on volume of machines and not GP?I hate to compare our industry with car sales but I know a lot of dealers are on this model. I know several people who make nothing but a very small salary until they sell 10 cars in a month and then start getting paid a commission after that 10th car for each one. My thoughts are that it probably would not

Toshiba's dealer costs have stayed the same but the discounts from the published costs are less. AKA a price increase. The products are higher featured and well received.
