Avon council gets hacked, forced to reschedule meeting
Avon’s first attempt at a public meeting via the Zoom teleconferencing app was hacked on Tuesday, forcing the town council to reschedule the meeting.

COVID19 "Remote Working" Day Twelve of Sales
I'm going to start this a little different tonight. I'll start at the end of my day because that part of the day had a profound effect on the rest of the evening. Earlier in the day I text'd one of my clients that I have an opportunity with. The text was simple with "how you holding up". Since the churches are closed in NJ, I opted for the text rather than the call. I was also mildly concerned since there were many cases of the virus in his town and he's a bit older than me. Thirty of forty...

This Week in the Copier Industry 10 Years Ago for the First Week of May 2010
Years ago I use to burn the late night candle pretty often. In some cases I would still find myself emailing a prospect at 2AM in the morning. In most cases the email was to schedule a meeting for later that week. Those late night emails was just something I was use to. It wasn't until one of my clients made mention of the email that arrived at 2AM. Of course he didn't see it until he arrived at work. But this client went on to tell me that he wished he had more sales people like me, meaning...

Re: Ricoh – Prepare for a talent exodus
This talent exodus already occurred at Ricoh Corporate in NJ, wherein legacy Ricoh / Savin / Lanier employees and executives were pushed out as IKON came in...the new Sheriff in town.

Re: MP6002 7502 9002 coming soon
How do they do that??? I have lost multiple deals to the Ricoh dealer because I cannot compete. This was not like this last year....just in the last few months they have been killing everyone. It is almost like a loss leader marketing concept to get people to try Ricoh which unfortunately would NEVER happen here or for that matter most places. This is the most powerful dealer in town but I have heard several times that their service is horrible but it did not use to be like that.

Re: City, vendor at odds over copying contract
That's the problem with government and often churches and other large organizations who go out for multiple bids and then go for the low bidder. They almost always wind up getting the $h!ttiest vendor. Price isn't everything. I think back to a local school system who leased a fleet of 5 Canons from the low bidder. The vendor delivered all 3 year old 50 ppm Canons with over a million copies on each. When I got involved the original vendor had taken the money and run only a year into the 63...

Re: USA Presidential Poll
Chuck I am not shure how that shows that the local government si not more efficient. In this case a town if being ordered to us the government "approved" vendor. That vendor is more expensive than the one the town had been using. The added expense may cause the town to have to rethink how many meals a week they can provide.

Re: USA Presidential Poll
Great point Art. The US Post Office is a case study on how the government should not run a business. The post office has a failing business model and has failed to adapt. For one, the drop in documents being mailed becuase of e-mail. How did they not see that one coming. Secondly, charging the same rate regardless of where you are mailing to, across the town or across the country and they charge the same. I think they are legally bound to this policy, but it should be changed. Go to a tiered...

Re: Need your input~~!

Re: which software?
I have conducted some research on this. Handwritten information is not supported by Doculex. However, when using an OMR sheet we can specify what type of information to capture: Such as social security number, name, town, etc. We can have this attached to the first page of the doc or mark the social or account number on the OMR sheet. From there Doculex does have a feature that will only capture information in certain areas of the document and then store them. Another way to is to go to your...

Re: HP MFPs Selling With Metered CPCs
We see them a ton down here in Dallas, particularly in MPS engagements. I think it's partly due to the fact that Print, Inc. had a fairly substantial client base in DFW. Once Print was acquired by Pitney Bowes, every toner recharger/distributor in town copied the formula and sold a ton of 4345 MFP's because they could get them through Tech Data.

Re: RBS Quote/Proposal
Nice job Art. Be aware that RBS is coming to a town near you. In Florida they are in Tampa and have a branch office in Sarasota. Will be in Orlando, Miami and Jacksonville soon. If it is not bad enough to compete against Savin, Gestetner, Lanier, Ikon and another Ricoh dealer on some deals. That's (6) Proposals for Ricoh equipment to one customer. I guess one more from RBS couldn't hurt.

Re: Nationwide Service?
I like the way you are thinking. The issue for me is all of the copiers are covered on a Xerox cost per print plan. So, this is essentially a new line of business, starting from scratch. I have considered buying 4 standardized models and doing an exchange replacement situation. Where we replace the copier (the client would have a deductible to pay, maybe $300 to cover the transport) - If I bought 5 color copiers at $600 each - Then sold them for say $1900 each - The driving across town would...
