Luxury Meets Comfort: High-End Sneakers That are Worth Every Penny

Luxury Meets Comfort: High-End Sneakers That are Worth Every Penny

High-end sneakers have been a popular trend in the world of fashion for several years now. From high-end fashion houses to independent streetwear brands, everyone is putting their spin on the iconic sneakers to create pieces that are both stylish and comfortable. These sneakers are a fusion of luxury and practicality, making them a must-have for anyone looking to step up their style game.

The first thing that sets high-end sneakers apart from their lower-priced counterparts is the attention to detail and quality of materials used in their construction. From premium leather to high-quality textiles, these sneakers are made from the finest materials, ensuring that they are both durable and comfortable. They also feature unique design elements and intricate details, making them stand out from the crowd.

One of the biggest draws of high-end sneakers is the level of comfort they provide. Unlike lower-priced sneakers that may be stiff and uncomfortable, high-end sneakers are designed with comfort in mind. The use of premium materials, such as memory foam and cushioned soles, ensures that your feet stay comfortable, even during extended periods of wear. This is particularly important for those who wear sneakers on a daily basis, whether for work or play.

Another reason why high-end sneakers are worth the investment is their versatility. They can be dressed up or down, making them suitable for a range of occasions. Whether you're running errands, attending a business meeting, or going out for a night on the town, high-end sneakers will keep you looking stylish and comfortable.

Furthermore, high-end sneakers are often made in limited quantities, making them highly sought after by sneaker collectors and fans of streetwear culture. This limited availability adds to their exclusivity and desirability, making them a valuable addition to any sneaker collection.

In conclusion, high-end sneakers are a fusion of luxury and practicality that are worth every penny. With their attention to detail, use of premium materials, and comfort-focused design, they provide a level of style and comfort that is unmatched by lower-priced alternatives. Whether you're a fashion-forward individual or a sneaker collector, high-end sneakers are a must-have for anyone looking to step up their style game.

From: Ted Sent: 12/3/2001 6:21 AM I have a sample of the wood. It is real redwood, that has been copied on. the customers love it. If you can get some of the wood for samples, I believe in a tight situation, running this through the machine could make the sale. Then you could leave a piece for the competition to run through their machine on demo. Who knows, the competition may be foolish enough to try it and it may ruin their machine. (wishful thinking).

Re: Scan Router Question

There are a couple of settings in the machine: First, go to service programs and set service program 5974 to 1. This tells the machine that you have the Pro version. Power cycle the machine and you should now have some more options in user tools, system settings under file transfer I think. One of those settings will tell it to forward faxes with a subcode to SR Pro. Sorry I can't be a bit more specific. Hope this helps and let me know if you need further assistance! Thanks!

From @Old Glory. I recommend to my reps to walk in with the letter, get it copied onto their letterhead, get it signed, give them a copy and then walk out with the original. I have the rep tell the customer to send it or fax it but then the rep goes straight to the office. We'll pay the cost of registered mail and mail it out that day. "Shouldn't have to babysit"...your right but your customer isn't the only one.....

Re point 4 - careful on that one. Konica has made significant improvements to their print driver interfaces as well as to their walk-up interface. Over the years that I've been on this board, I often would sing the RPCS driver's praises as a competitive advantage. I can't do that any more. The only thing I don't like is that Konica limits the number of characters you can use to rename the file at the walk-up panel, but other than that I have no quibbles with their usability any more.

Attention Sales World... Are You Tending To Your Relational Garden?

·
“If you wish to make anything grow, you must understand it, and understand it in a very real sense. ‘Green fingers’ are a fact, and a mystery only to the unpracticed. But green fingers are the extensions of a verdant heart.”
Russell Page

If you wish to grow your client relationships, you must understand them, and understand them in a very real sense.

Your clients are undeniably one of your most precious assets. Without them would you exist in sales?

The more you understand that meaningful and credible relationships matter, the more successful you will become, end of story, plain and simple.

Building authentic relationships and connecting with your clients is mission critical to your success.

Here's a question for all of you...

Do you think your clients crave the same? Absolutely, they crave the same and it is up to you to find this out.

We as humans crave and value relationships.

They are a part of human nature. We long for and value relationships. It's hard-wired in our DNA.

The more you give, ultimately the more you receive.

Answer the following... On a scale of 1-10...

  • How well are you personally and intentionally engaging with your clients?
  • Are you authentically investing in building authentic relationships?
  • Are you doing what they believe is necessary?
Your clients smell what you're cooking and not cooking really fast.

AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIPS

Trust is the foundation of a credible and healthy relationship.

Your ability to build trust and credibility is crucial to maintaining healthy client relationships. Lack of credibility and believability, causes your clients to not trust you.

Lack of trust will cost you your clients and will diminish your ability to consistently drive sales sustainability.

Soft skills will yield you hard dollars!

Building and maintaining authentic relationships requires work. You must authentically invest to collect on the relationship.

This requires careful planning, consistency, discipline and heart to nurture relationships to become an integral part of your clients' lives.

You just can't do this with a monthly call, a quarterly visit, a semi-annual visit or the classics... "I'm checking in with you" or "Just touching base to make sure everything is OK."

“Whether they stem from business or personal situations, our relationships are what support us, connect us, and allow us to progress in all aspects of our lives.”
Michelle Tillis Lederman

RELATIONAL GARDENING

"Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds."
Gordon B. Hinckley

Without hard work, discipline and action, nothing will grow in your clients' accounts.

All you will attract are shiny sales professionals who understand what it means to build authentic relationships and meaningful business value.

With water, fertilizer, and light, a healthy client relationship can turn into an exquisite garden of sales nourishment.

Jim Rohn once said,

"If you rest too long the weeds take the garden."

Do you have a green thumb when tending to your relationship garden?

Fail to water your garden and we know what happens. A relationship which is started, but not watered will wither and die, it is the natural order of things.

Gardening is a process. Planting is a task.

A garden which is planted, then not tended, cultivated or cared for, ultimately will grow weeds, wither and die.

ARE YOU ALLOWING WEEDS TO GROW IN YOUR RELATIONAL GARDEN?

Are you paying attention to the weeds in your relational garden?

If you want healthy, harmonious and heartfelt client relationships, then you must pay attention to the weeds.

Weeds have a way of creeping into your garden of client relationships. They choke the life out of fruitful growth, as they spread like crabgrass in your sales lawn.

Weeds thrive and flourish when you do not pay attention to them, and the same applies to your client relationships.

Here are signs you might be growing weeds...

  • You only come around when you want something, like a sale.
  • You take more than you give.
  • You leave people hanging by not following through with your commitments.
  • You make promises you don’t keep.
  • You communicate inconsistently and sparingly.
  • You are nowhere to be found when your clients need you.

How many of you have walked into your relationship garden only to find that it has been decimated from neglect (no deposits of relational trust) and overrun with weeds (competitors)?

Sales professionals fertilize their relationship garden while sales reps struggle to water their garden.

The expert gardener never skips a day of weeding or watering. The garden may not look much different, but they know over time the results reflect their effort.

A sales professional never skips a day cultivating their relationship garden. They realize the more they tend to their garden the more relationships soon blossom.

Unfortunately, many sales reps are like average gardeners. They blame nature for burning their plants (clients), not raining enough, bugs, weeds, poor soil and crappy results.

However, sales professionals are expert gardeners. They shield their plants (clients) from getting burned, provide water during droughts, protect against bugs (competitors), pull weeds, enrich the soil and enjoy spectacular results.

BUILD YOUR TRUST GARDEN

"No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden."
Thomas Jefferson

I believe gardening is a powerful example for the lifecycle of a process. I believe there is a direct correlation between what it takes to grow a beautiful garden and what it takes to build trust with your clients.

Growing a relationship garden with your clients involves the commitment of a shared vision, deep respect, ongoing mutual effort, and patience.

If you don't sow it, you can't build trust

Whether you are a sales leader or a salesperson, it doesn’t matter how rich the soil is in your clients' garden, how much sunlight it receives, or how often you water, if you don’t sow the seeds, you won’t have any plants (sales).

At this point, you might be saying to yourself that this sounds a bit elementary or too basic, well, that’s because it is.

Trust in client relationships begins by demonstrating your trustworthiness.

You reap what you sow

Translated, this old proverb says that future consequences are inevitably shaped by present actions.

What present actions are you taking as you tend to your relational garden?

I encourage you to sow these seeds of trust and watch what starts to bloom.

  • Constantly learn, grow, and get better at what you do.
  • Generously share your expertise with others.
  • Focus on doing the right thing and doing things right.
  • Make ethical and moral choices.
  • Tell the truth.
  • Be authentic and genuine.
  • Never waiver from your promises or commitments.
  • Just give a rip!

When you sow seeds of trust, you're inviting people in not pushing them away. You're creating common grounds, common good, and community. Isn't this what you want?

The loyalty and trust you build with your clients will continue to reward you in unexpected ways, if you fertilize your relationship garden.

“A garden requires patient labor attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.”
Liberty Hyde Bailey

Be authentic, share your gifts, maintain and cast your vision, bring sincerity and most of all bring authentic relationships combined with meaningful business value to your client gardens.

Simply just give a rip!

Remember... relational gardening adds years to your sales life.

Patent infringement for scanning from copier.

fisher ·
Check out the attached document a client recieved. I guess this is the new ambulance chasing. Patent trolls is what I gather you call them. Going after people for using a copier as a scanning device, threatening them with legal action for patent infringement in the hopes that the people panic and write them a settlement check to make it go away. Nice. Odds are one out of every 50 letters they send out gets them a settlement check.

How to Be on the Safe Side of Company Audits

How to Be on the Safe Side of Company Audits

Written by Joan Honig Jan 20, 2023

Graphs of financial data

Today, financial resilience is one of the main attributes that determine whether your company will adapt and thrive in these uncertain times. It might be surprising, but your annual business audit can be a secret weapon in your efforts to increase business agility. It provides clarity by identifying how well internal controls and financial reporting are working and which process improvements should be the highest on your priority list. The insights you gain from the audit can be a roadmap that gets you ready to overcome any obstacles that crop up because of unpredictable economic conditions.

scrabble tiles on white background

During an audit, your company’s financial dealings are an open book. Digital documents and automated workflow ensure that this book is well-organized, factual and easy to understand. With electronic document management, all business documents are searchable in a few clicks and easy for auditors to search for by criteria like vendor name, product type, amount, or date or with fulltext search. If you’ve integrated document management with your financial software, auditors can access supporting information without leaving your accounting system or ERP - this makes the whole auditing process easier for them.

With digital document management, you can store and retrieve complete and secure records of all business transactions to speed up the audit process. All information is equally findable, whether its source is emails, contracts, correspondence or financial statements. You can access data when you need it, without delay. The best part is that you can provide secure, online access for auditors to free AP and accounting staff to concentrate on their daily tasks.

How DocuWare Cloud safeguards the integrity of the audit process

blue umbrella

  • Promotes transparency in business operations and drives accountability. It’s easy to track who processed each financial transaction and who approved payment.
  • Helps you determine the effectiveness of internal controls. Digital document management facilitates a better understanding of your operational efficiency, the reliability of financial reporting procedures and your compliance with current federal and state laws and regulations.
  • Ensures comprehensive protection for all your documents including those related to intellectual property and proprietary knowledge. DocuWare Cloud offers a well-designed and secure storage system that protects information that should never be lost, stolen or compromised.
  • Shields business information from crypto viruses, ransomware and other malware. With its Microsoft Azure foundation, 99 percent of all viruses are already known which is why a contaminated document is immediately recognized by DocuWare and can't even be archived. Even a completely new virus would not be able to spread to your company’s other documents, because the malware has no access to the corresponding data store.
  • Makes it easier to assess your use of resources to identify potential cost savings. Audit findings provide a launching pad for honest discussions of profit and loss. This discussion might lead to conversations about how your pricing compares with industry standards or whether your company is offering too deep a discount.
  • Simplifies finding errors in financial statements to ensure that they have been prepared in accordance with accounting rules and government regulations.

lock on top of computer screen

  • Creates a digital audit trail for all financial transactions. This makes it easier to confirm that balance sheets, cash flow statements, and earnings and expense reports are accurate. Audit trails also provide a date and time stamp and a record of who conducted each process step.
  • Protects your company from fraud and employee theft. When auditors question a transaction, they can pull up all related documents like purchase orders, invoices, vouchers and checks to immediately assess their validity. This is especially important when they’re verifying cash transactions.
  • Secures your documents in case of natural disasters. Ensures business continuity with redundant data backups saved multiple times in secure data centers. Thanks to all of this, your documents and information can be made available again in no time after an unforeseeable event.

Memoirs of a Copier Sales Person

My First Day in our New Monmouth Office

·

The question I kept asking myself leading up to today was, how long will be the travel time to our second office in New Jersey?  Will it be shorter or longer to our office in Edison from my home in Highlands, NJ.

On a day with no traffic the trip to the Edison office is 45 minutes or so, the trip to our Manasquan office was 50 minutes. Yes, I was a little bummed however I thought about why this is a better trip and that's because in most cases there will never be traffic in the AM when traveling down Ocean Ave. Hey, we all need to look at the brighter side for things, right?

Traveling down the ocean and looking at the water is like looking back in time.  As long as there are no ships or boats and just the swelling sea, it's like looking back in time when Henry Hudson first viewed the hills of Highlands in the 1600s.  Hey, we all need to look at the brighter side for things, right?

Of course everyone was in the office and I was the last one to arrive. Greetings were taken and given and all was right in Art's sales life.  After a couple of cups of coffee and plugging in my elements of my sales process  I was able to get down to business.

It was not long before the first of many questions percolated about product knowledge, sales processes, crafting emails, how to approach this or that.  I enjoyed the time and I guess more importantly I enjoyed being the fountain of knowledge.  But it's not all about me anymore, I know my time is limited because it's not like I can log another 40 years of down the street sales.

The time that I have now is to still maintain my existing accounts, create new accounts but more importantly to start that transfer of knowledge with others.  I had one tell me today that they need to get into my head about how I come up with things that I do.

My head?  Well I could call it a work of "Art" right?

More to come as I have the time, great times to come our way.
