Re: Service Agreements and "Free" Copies
Well..... A) It depends on what they are charing for the overages, not making $25 in profit by getting 1,000 additional color clicks per month could represent a profit of $50 per month for every thousand pages times this by 10 new colors units per month, we then have $500 every month, second month is $1,000, third month is $1,500, fourth month is $2,000, by the end of the 12th month with selling 10 units per month and each one doing only 1,500 color pages a month would represent a profit of...

Re: Ricoh Offers Managed Print Services to Reduce Printing Complexity
That announcement seemed to walk in circles. Not to mention I know the branch in my region can barely sell a copier, let alone assess a real organizations output.... I guess this initiative will keep the branch guys busy trying to learn something new, while we're in their taking the corporate business. Good for them.

Re: Pleasant Valley School Bid RBS
This is just part of the story - where's the maintenance rate? are supplies included? what's the volume total's? was there RFG competition?who else bid? To properly assess RBS's offer we need to know more. How many years? can they annually increase anything? Gov't financing can be (sometimes) first year, up-front?

Re: Your opinion of Solution Software
JasonR - Fabulous response- You hit the nail on the head and your managerhas done well also. Solution - as it is defined is fixing a problem. Software can be a box sale as much as the hardware. It is when you assess what the customer needs are and give them a unique solution inclussive of hardware and better ways to do work that it becomes a solution. And your right, customers are willing to pay for solutions. I just closed an 18,000 deal that is all gross profit except gas and tolls. It has...

Re: WSCA contracts
Hey Art, Been selling WSCA for years and frankly only do it because I have to. it is a lot of work for extremely little pay. Even the service is not that great for the dealer end. So when I can I find a way around it.

Re: WSCA contracts
Its a nightmare for dealers. Ricoh can't get their act together on the paperwork. Its a loser. Also you don't get rewards points on machines when you use this program. Avoid it unless its the only way possible.

Re: Cost Per Copy and Rate Lock
We've offered locked in rates for years (Ricoh equipment.) It takes a little explaining on the front end as to why your rate is slightly higher but I think people like the idea of not having to watch over their bill for increases. However most of my leases are only 36 months.

Re: Cost Per Copy and Rate Lock
Well do rate locks also, but there has to be some GP in the deal, since it will come out of the sales person "skin". You should be looking at the T's & C's of the agreement because they may charge excessive dollars to ship supplies. (charging $20 per shipment per month can be quite the upcharge). Also be on the look out for verbiage in the maintenance supply agreement that states something to the effect, "that we can cancel or charge you more if you use too much toner aka fill) Hope this...
