A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Memorial Service for Mr. Fax
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Memorial Service for Mr. Fax
The alleged deceased didn’t show up. Cousin family members, Freddy FaxMachine, Sally Server and Mabel MFP-Board were present but obviously in ill health. What was truly amazing was the number of business associates that were in attendance, all commiserating on how they hoped a younger, more robust family member would assume the business with more current technology since these businesses still had a need for a fax capability due to security and compliance regulations but expressed frustration that the cost and archaic technology were a nuisance. It was really amazing, this gathering of all of the businesses Mr. Fax had touched in his long career: Government, Finance, Medical, Dental, Insurance, Hospitality, and others varied and numerous.
Suddenly in the back of the room a mystery couple appeared and introduced themselves as immediate family ready to assume the burden of responsibility to satisfy the long-term business partners with a new and more efficient capability. Now Mr. Fax’s old drinking buddy, Albert Analog, said “so what, the old stuff still works and is not that important, so just put up with it as long as there is a need”. Well, said Harry HIPAA, the person who always shows up at the wrong place and wrong time, “you will be sorry when big brother shows up”. And then chimes in Billy B. “That’s a fact and when someone asks about PCI and BAA compliance, you’ll be scrambling”. Naturally everyone cringed when hearing dreaded Three Letter Acronyms (TLA’s) so an explanation was in order: “It’s similar to having a contractor’s license to build a house, PCI is the government mandated certification for handling privacy with personal information and BAA is the necessary Business Associates Agreement between a contractor and a healthcare provider in the medical industry.
So, the mystery couple announced: “Mr. Fax is really not deceased, he has retired to the warm climes and is relaxing and watching the clouds.”
Now the event turned from a dour gathering to a celebration of new life and opportunity. The mystery couple introduced themselves as the representatives of a company named Upland InterFAX, one of a number of companies that provide cloud based fax and this one with a significant presence in dozens of countries around the world but surprisingly not that well known. So the question from the cousins, (attempting to diminish the attention of the crowd) was “so it’s not a big deal, who uses this anyway?” After a pause the InterFAX couple simply stated “We are not the only people in this business but certainly one of the most advanced and reliable and our business alone is processing more than 350 Million pages of incoming/outgoing FAX each year for more than 135,000 registered accounts and, oh by the way, the business has been growing in double digits year after year and projected by industry experts to continue this path”. The total for the entire industry?
Now the party took its final turn with a toast to the newly discovered family friends. And the general question throughout the event was where can I license this today? The ones really clamoring were the local copier/printer solutions company, the IT services company and a telecom business consultant asking: “how do I get into this business”?.
Not a bad ending to an expected dismal gathering.
Just a note for everyone. This blog is from my good friend John Hewitt. John is now the Business Development Director at Upland Internet FAX.
City of Houston Rebuilds with Contex Large-Format Scanners
2017’s Hurricane Harvey was one of the costliest tropical storms ever to hit the U.S. But the city of Houston is rebuilding, and like every city and small town across the U.S., the Houston Permitting Center plays an important role in building safety and infrastructure planning. With each new rebuild or remodel, city staff reviews the project drawings and maps — submitted by landowners, architects, engineers, and contractors — to ensure the projects meet the city’s building code regulations and infrastructure design requirements.
CHALLENGE
What makes the city of Houston different from most cities is its sheer size, scope, and diversity. Houston is the 4th largest city in the United States by population, the eighth largest in miles, and the most culturally rich with more than 140 spoken languages. The city’s Permitting Center was already one of the busiest in the nation. Now in disaster recovery, the city is processing building permits at rates never before imagined.
On average, the Permitting Center’s imaging team receives around 40-50 building construction projects per day and about 30 infrastructure projects per week, each of which can include anywhere from 2 to more than 1500 drawings and maps, depending on the size and scope of the build. Unlike the building projects, which are on paper, the infrastructure projects are on mylar.
SOLUTION
As the city of Houston rebuilds, homeowners and developers must get their plans approved before commencing any new project, large or small.
The city of Houston implemented a Contex IQ Quattro large-format scanner to scan maps and drawings up to 44” wide. Its speed, quality, and reliability enable the staffers to process the high volume of documents that come into the Center. Expedited projects are easily facilitated thanks to the IQ Quattro’s four-second scanning, and CIS technologies, which deliver high-quality results. The Nextimage scanning software also gives a boost to productivity by automatically removing shadows caused by creases and folds. If a document is old or faded, the Center staffers can easily manipulate settings as needed to further improve imaging results.
The Center processes mostly 24”×36” documents. Occasionally, staffers may receive documents that are 18”×24” or 36”×40”. These plans are easily accommodated, simply by changing the orientation of the documents.
RESULTS
Although the city of Houston accepts online plan submissions, most customers submit hard-copy plans to the Permitting Center. Two sets of plans are required for the review process. Once the plans are approved and stamped, one set is kept by the city to be archived and the other set is returned to the customer to be kept on the job site for inspections.
As the city of Houston rebuilds itself, the Contex scanner is a vital tool to speeding the recovery. The Contex IQ Quattro large-format scanner is an investment that the city of Houston can benefit from for years to come. From speed and reliability to image quality and performance, the IQ Quattro exceeds expectations.
Humans are increasingly becoming Digital
"The human's experiences will determine where they are comfortable, and more and more humans are finding great comfort in that growing intersection between the digital and physical worlds."
Those who follow me understand my passion for what I describe as the Intersection between the Digital and Physical Worlds. Wanted to share some thoughts on that intersection.
Technology is the driving force of innovation, and innovation is the driving force enhancing life. The things accomplished by technology today have not only prolonged human life; technology has made life more enjoyable.
The intersection between the digital and physical world is always under construction, widening its lanes to accommodate more human traffic. Our interactions are conducted more and more in the digital world, creating a digital universe; a universe consuming much of the human social time once spent in the physical world.
This new universe is a remarkable place for many of its increasing visitors. Of, course it is also a place which can be threatening, misunderstood, and still seems un-comprehendible for those without technology, or those who refuse to explore the unknown.
Humans live through behaviors and behaviors can change through a forced change or an agreeable change. Will Future technologies control more of one's behaviors? I would conclude, yes. In the future technology will guide the human in ways many of today's humans would find un-comprehendible, offensive, and too controlling.
Will technology, over time, change its human companion's minds to be more accepting of its powers? Today humans control the technology relationship. However, technology is quickly gaining more control. As technology continues making life more comfortable, the human benefactors will continue to welcome more technology.
As past futures proved many things once thought disagreeable somehow became agreeable.
As the human and its technologies become closer companions, humans will concede things to technology which today are unimaginable. It's essential to welcome the opportunities to explore these new technologies and maintain open minds to what we discover. The future is closer to the present than ever in history and the powers of technology have connected the world in ways only science fiction comprehended just a decade ago.
This massive human collaborative of flowing information has changed the world. Anyone with a spark of curiosity can create flames of knowledge. The availability of educating one on any subject is unlimited. In the past Kings and Queens controlled the worlds knowledge and used that knowledge to control the world. Today knowledge is in the hands of all those who decide to explore the wonders of the intersection between the digital and physical worlds.
Those who constantly look for absolutes will miss the excitement of the unknown and the unknown is getting easier to find for those looking.
We must all remember that someday, the intersection between the digital and physical world will be traveled by all. The human and its technologies are indeed becoming more connected.

Sales Professionals Are Both Near And Far Sighted, Are You?
“If you work just for money, you’ll never make it. But if you love what you are doing and put the customer first, success will be yours.”
Ray Kroc
Why is it that many in sales move on from a potential opportunity if it doesn’t fit within the 30 to 60 day sales window? It’s this transactional mindset that’s killing the profession.
You see if one wants to have an ever flowing sales funnel one must have an ever flowing relationship funnel.
Meaningful and credible relationships do matter. If you don’t believe me then go ask your clients what they value.
Short term thinking is squashing the sales profession
With a short-term sales mind, you're always chasing 'the deal' trying to get through the month. I know you get what I'm throwing at you. Many of you have tons of hustle, grit and determination, however; your plan and the viscous cycle starts over again on the first of every month.
A long-term sales mindset goes well outside of the monthly goal. It focuses on establishing meaningful and high referring relationships that help you to consistently produce month-over-month.
If you want to have an ever-flowing sales funnel you must invest in building an ever-flowing relationship funnel
If you’re running around trying to find the sales deal for the here and now, I’m going to ask you to stop and think about the longevity this has and the mental punishment you’re putting yourself through. It’s the sales professionals who marry the short term, medium term and long term sales opportunities that win the sales war.
CONSISTENCY, IT'S AT THE CORE
Consistency, it's an enormous word. This differentiates the successful from the unsuccessful and the professionals from the reps.
Unfortunately...
"Salespeople today are consistently inconsistent"
Many of you struggle with staying consistent over the long-term because so much of the focus is placed on the short term.
If you don’t get immediate results from your actions, you move on looking for the next needle in the sales haystack. One can point the finger directly at management for fostering this short term behavior.
Many find it difficult to stay consistent because there are just too many distractions. Salespeople are simply not focused, committed nor disciplined enough to stick with something in the short-term for long-term results.
"Just stop the excuses and get to work!"
There are no quick results and no silver bullet moments when it comes to a commitment to consistency. Consistency, it's all about making incremental improvements over time. The results you're after will eventually come, however; they'll come over an extended period of time when you commit to consistency.
The right activity + enhancing the skill set + daily habits = sales success
SHORT OR FAR SIGHTED VISION?
We all want short term results. We must hit our numbers. Many of you get whacked over the head for 30 day and quarterly results but how many of you have a long term vision when it comes to prospecting?
Shortsightedness keeps you from seeing the big picture. It makes you focus on the wrong thing.
Sure, you'll find an opportunity when the ball rests on the one yard line or when the opportunity sits inside the red zone but let's not discount the long term vision. A vast majority of conversations when prospecting will not fit into a short term window but will be there someday.
What's in your relationship funnel?
I want you to think about all the lost opportunities you let slip by you because it didn't fit into your 30 to 60 sales window.
ATTENTION ALL THOSE IN SALES AND MANAGEMENT
To enhance your vision and to gain an understanding of how this is all applied, you must make a commitment to yourself to develop credible, meaningful and AUTHENTICrelationships.
With your short sighted behaviors, people (your clients/prospects) see your hidden agenda all over your face. The have an instinctive skill set that smells commission breath immediately upon opening your mouth. What they do appreciate is authenticity and honesty.
Sales professionals understand that harvesting relationships matters. They've internalized and realized in order to grow relationships it must be done with honesty, integrity, trust and heart.
Trust takes time
Relationships based on trust and credibility can't be rushed. With short sighted vision it's difficult to grow and nurture meaningful relationships.
THE ONE THING!
What is the one thing sales professionals do every day?
You see I’m on crusade to bring back sincerity, substance and heart to the sales profession. Many and I mean have drifted off path. Whether you’re in leadership, management or in sales… I encourage you to think about the one thing.
What’s the one thing you can bring that will set you apart?
Here’s a little secret, it’s your heart!
In a world full of self-interested salespeople who look at prospects as dollar signs, an authentic sales professional stands out like a shining star.
I understand, I get where you all are coming from. Every day, I walk in your shoes. I am fully committed to helping your sales team integrate social aspects and modern strategies into your current sales process to grow new business. I want you to get results. This is why I am passionate about doing this the right way, the genuine way, the authentic way! It's about understanding value before visibility.

In a world full of empty suits, I'm passionate about helping sales reps succeed by getting valuable before they get visible. I help sales teams understand the true value they bring to the market.
I appreciate getting the opportunity to share my stories. Integrating the use of social and sharing my story on LinkedIn was my “game-changer” in the highly competitive office technology world. With great pride I transform, challenge, coach and inspire sales teams to grow new business by helping them share their story and how they communicate it out by integrating the use of social inside the sales process.
