5 Reasons Why Those in the Copier Industry Should Be a Print4Pay Hotel Member
We've all heard the expression, it's not what you know it's about who know. The larger your network, the more access you have to opportunities. Almost twenty years ago I created the first and still the only web based forums for copier industry professionals (not a tech forum). Over the years I've been able to lean on others in the industry to get information that I need to close orders through the Print4Pay Hotel forum members. Sometimes it's competitive info, pricing, what's good, what's...

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.

Five Reasons Why You Should Attend BTA Spring Break @ The Grand Floridian
I'm all in when it comes to an educational event, especially when it's at The Grand Floridian located in Disney World. I'm also a big fan of getting out of cold and damp North East in late March. Maybe think about booking a few extra days and make it a mini work vacation trip. The BTA rate for the Hotel is pretty incredible. Reason One: BTA is offering two for one registration for BTA Members. Thus two attendees can attend for the price on one. Reason Two: Where their is mystery there is....

Why I Contacted a Premium/VIP P4P Hotel Member Today!
Just and interesting nugget for everyone that I received today via email. I had a new registration for the Print4Pay Hotel. I check every registration to make sure that person is somewhat connected to the imaging industry. We don't want the scammers and lurkers to ruin a good thing. After reading though the fillable fields, I noticed that the person applying for membership was the production print buyer for a large corporation. Over the years, I've gotten to know many of our Premium/VIP...

. 10 Secrets to Getting Your Calls Returned
Salespeople have a love-hate relationship with voicemail, tilted heavily toward the negative. While it is convenient to have a machine reliably answer incoming calls at any hour of the day, leaving your messages with a cold, computer-driven device can be daunting. Particularly since many people hide behind their voicemail systems or are simply too busy to return even the calls they meant to return. Even worse, many companies forget to eliminate voicemail accounts when an employee leaves, so...

The Office Copier Turns 57!
While updating our weekly blogs post for " This Week in the Copier Industry 10 Years Ago (First Week of April 2007) ", I ran across a thread that was started by "salesserviceguy" that was titled "The Office Copier Turns 50".

Top Ten Copier Proposals for January 2018
Proposals and quotes for end users. Our Print4Pay Hotel members contribute proposals and quotes that they've found in the field. Many of you might say, "why do I need to see these"? There are many reasons why viewing these proposals and quotes can be a treasure trove of information. For starters the cost per page for black and color is always moving. Why didn't you get that last order? Was your maintenance and supply price to high? Were you too low? Often clients take a back seat when your...

Hi Trica, thanx for the mention! I appreciate the kudos. Not only am I am rep for a Ricoh dealer, but I also am the CEO of the Print4Pay Hotel.

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
Just an update on the recent thread by a P4P member. She deleted her threads that I replied to a few days ago. Seems now she would like me to delete the quotes also. The blog that she had posted on Linkedin has also been removed. I'm not going to comment on this anymore, but to delete the quotes that I posted would not be fair to the members of the site. We need to learn as much as possible about the One Rate from KM, and then need to decide if we want to beat them or join them. Recent talk...

Re: The KM 1Rate Program & How to Sell Against It Webinar
How interesting that she deleted her LinkedIn article and thread comments. Maybe she found out that there was a catch? Once again a great reminder that there is a difference between bashing your competitors and educating yourself and others on the differences between them.

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

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...."
