Boy, do I have a lot of gripes, was a thread I posted on the forums ten years ago. That thread brings back memories of some of the bs that I've muddled through over the years.
Thinking back, I remember what my wife tells me, "don't sweat the small stuff".
In the grand scheme of things commissions, money, sales, is the small stuff in life. Family, and health is the BIG stuff, and is something I care about most.
Enjoy the threads from Ten years ago this week!

Re: TOSHIBA E-STUDIO 282
Depending on your finisher options, the Toshiba is about $300-$400 Cheaper than U.S. Comm, vs. NFP Pricing. We have may users that perfer the control panel on the Ricoh/Savin to the Toshiba, but for value, most of our price sensitive customers go Toshiba.

Sales Material
Hello Everyone- I was wondering if anyone can give me some good motivational/sales references. My sales managers are focusing this quarter on sales in our weekly sales meetings. I am wondering what others have used and found to be good material. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you Melissa

Boy do I have alot of Gripes!!!!!
Get this, my boss (the owner) calls me and tells me about an existing client that wants to upgrade thier duplicator. He states he wants to give to me since I am the most knowledgable in our office about duplicators. It is a church account and there is competition, I get the deal and make $300 in commissions, plus the $200 spiff from Ricoh. Not bad....I was happy with the outcome. Now a month later I get an email from him saying that it is his account and he is taking the $200 spiff from Ricoh

Re: mobile office
I think if you map the port of the MFP through the firewall. The end-user (on their laptop in the field) Could print via IPP. (Internet Printing Protocol) I know the Ricoh MFP's have this capability. To be honest I never have done this. But, in theory it can be done. That is where I would look. -slim463

Re: Xerox 6204 Pricing
I lost a deal a few months back to the Xerox. Customer paid approximately $16,500. Maintenance was $1,175 a year for 2,500 square feet per month. Toner extra.

Re: Boy do I have alot of Gripes!!!!!
That was just wrong. But who is to say the next guy wouldnt do the same thing. I have heard similar things from our salesmen about our boss. And from other techs in other companys. Like changing the commission after the sale, or changing the compensation after the deal. I am sure not everyone is like that but with about 5-6 employers under my belt, I can safely say it is not uncommon.

Re: Boy do I have alot of Gripes!!!!!
I totally agree, making changes after-the-fact is just WRONG!!! I guess every salesperson struggles with situations like this with at least one of their employers. All we can do is voice our opinion and try to change the situation. If we can't, like you said, we have two choices -- put up with it or go somewhere else. Either way, if we let it affect our attitude, it can dull our edge, and we can miss a sale -- losing even more money due to the same situation.

Re: can anyone help
You can try the laser jet 4 or 5 driver. Other than that Ricoh doesnt offer anything compatable.

""he'd let me have my way"" How denegrating. Obviously he knows, you know he tried to f you. As had been previously stated, don't let it affect your day. Sending the email was a good way to get it out in the open. Now forget it and go on or get a new job. You are too good a salesman to let this cloud your mind.

Re: Savin SPC210SF
Curious to see if anyone has sold any of these yet. We have found that it makes good color prints but embarrassing color copies. I still think we can market this as a good entry level bw copier/fax/printer/color printer. Still will do as well as Savin AC205+CLP17 at a lower initial investment. Any thoughts on this?
