Re: Losing is the Key to Winning!
Art, Love it! Great perspective, a true professional. We can't bat 1.000 though it is a nice mindset. Being able to debrief, self-evaluate and learn how to improve is the key. The office environment we sell into as copier reps is rapidly changing and evolving. You may have lost the hardware sale but may look what you gained. Play your "sales cards" right and this can be parlayed into more revenue and more profit. Great job!

Re: Losing is the Key to Winning!
Love it. This all played out in full between the first post and today. I lost a deal to a competitor that I truly have never lost an MFP to. I had my typical pissed off time period where I pretty much hate everything and anything and asked the customer the reasoning. He said the church board laid the proposals out and took the cheapest one. I will log everything in my CRM and follow up in 5 years. This is the second time I've lost the deal but I keep going back. I wished him luck and went on...

Losing is the Key to Winning!
Special thanx to Larry and Jason who gave me a few ideas with this next blog! We hate to lose right? Nothing grinds my gears more, than losing a prospect. I expect that I should be able to secure an order from all of my prospects. I expect to bat 1.000, however the reality is far from that. I definitely lose more deals than I win. In fact, I lose about 65% of the time. Is losing 65% of the time a bad thing? I don't think so, because I know that every lost deal moves me close a to obtaining...

Methods to disable devices REMOTELY (delinquent payers)
P4P team, just wondering how the rest of you deal with delinquent papers on a technical level? Can and do you remotely disable devices when they are on stop credit? Many suppliers in my local area stop service but the customer can wind down the consumables until they run out (defeating the purpose of really accruing more debt while they are on stop credit). Any tips for Toshiba devices as i've heard polices can be applied via Ebridge Cloud Connect (ECC) that could potentially turn off a...

Re: Methods to disable devices REMOTELY (delinquent payers)
I know that with Ricoh and HP equipment I could remotely do things to disable the device or make the user experience a nightmare if I were so inclined but I have never done anything like that. Its better to work with the customer within reason and simply withhold toner or service until you get payment.
