Re: Rumor Alert!
I can't confirm these specifics, but the Global dealer down here stopped selling Sharp and Konica Minolta a few years ago, so I assumed this happened awhile back.

Re: Konica Minolta 1Rate Program Updates
Would be nice if others could help with this. I had a chat last week with a former KM rep about the changes in 1Rate KM program. It was stated that KM has dropped the auto escalator for the hardware and the maintenance. However it was stated that KM has raise the monthly rates for 1Rate three times since last year to cover the loss of the escalations. I was also told there was a freight fee for shipping of supplies. This is billed every month even if the client does not receive supplies. I...

The KM 1Rate Program & How to Sell Against It Webinar
In the last few weeks, I've had many inquires about the KM 1Rate program. That's the program that give clients unlimited clicks for a monthly fee. Yes, I stated unlimited clicks. With the help of P4P Hotel members I've been able to understand the terms and conditions of the program. Once you understand those you can put together a strategy to point out the good, the bad and the ugly. In the webinar we'll focus on those terms and conditions and the offer up a strategy to sell against it.

Four Ways to Compete Against the KM Flat Rate Program
Recent talk tracks in our NJ sales office has been about the new KonicaMinolta unlimited click program. Just recently one of our reps thought that they couldn't compete with the One Rate program for three A3 MFP's. Those three MFP's were doing a decent volume of color each month. When we did some more digging with the clients color volume and the monthly cost for unlimited pages, we figured the revenue for Konica Minolta was two cents for every color page. Just as the rep was ending the...

We shared some documents about a year ago, however I'm hearing that some of the talking points we used to shoot down the program are not legit anymore. Again this is hearsay and no one can confirm. Does anyone have a new set of KM 1Rate lease docs or can any clarify what has changed? Can anyone help? Art

Re: The KM 1Rate Program & How to Sell Against It Webinar
Tricia, I find it interesting that you suggest that Art Post may have a conflict of interest because he sells Ricoh. What you don't know is the what's and why's surrounding the creation of the p4photel. I know because I was there. Ricoh used to have a message board where Ricoh reps could dialog with one another throughout the country. That is until Ricoh reps started sharing even the ugly (which every manufacturer has). Ricoh began to shut down critical conversation ABOUT RICOH, even going...

Re: The KM 1Rate Program & How to Sell Against It Webinar
If a client prints 5k per month and you say "the volume over 5k is free"....what are they going to do...print 10k per month? Wow, they change their workflow for 5k x .0065. How about if the customer says we are getting charged .07 per page color and you can show them .025 or .022 per page. Now that's a game changer when a company is running 5k color per month. Did you know 70% of the color print volume has less than 10% coverage, yet the industry still charges at 20% rate?

Re: The KM 1Rate Program & How to Sell Against It Webinar
Quote from a recent client that was looking at One Rate. "I'll just trash all of my printers and move the volume to the MFP, I'll save thousands"

Re: The KM 1Rate Program & How to Sell Against It Webinar
So the customer is going to toss printer assets? No cpp escalators on the one rate? No requirements for the contract: minimum pages or hardware? Dear Mr. Customer: "As long as you buy MFP's at List Price" and renew every 3 years, we can give you this great program...."
