Reply to "Where Do You see the Copier Industry in 5 years????"

As I scramble to stay on top of Electronic Document Management technologies and Managed Print Services, I cringe at Art’s prediction of “the end of paper as we know it”! And even though I think Art’s prophecy may someday come to pass, I feel we’re safe (at least for 10 years or so) if we stay focused on these “relatively new” document strategies (EDM and MPS)…in other words, I’m doubting the paperless office takes hold in the next five years (but what do I know…I’m just a dumb copier salesman!).

As long as we follow Neal’s advice of “evolving with our industry”, I feel we’ll all be fine. Remember, ladies and gentlemen, if you’re on this website reading threads like these, you’re probably one of the elite salespeople in this industry, and no matter what technologies take hold in the future, someone will need to be the “industry expert’ for those technologies. So far, they haven’t invented an idea or product that sells itself!

Good Selling!
