Re: Toshiba's Eco MFP. An industry first!
I could see companies that do a lot of business with governments using them. For instance, I have a client that works with prison systems throughout the USA. They occasionally have to respond to RFPs that require the proposal documents to be printed on paper with a minimum % of recycled content. It would also probably play well in markets that are big on "being green". Think the West Coast, Colorado, Austin & the like.

Re: awards program
If you have 6 reps, I'd have each rep suggest the prize they want. Just reading the posts so far in this thread seems to justify this theory .It's silly to give away a Colorado fishing expedition to someone who wanted a shopping spree in New York City. Decide what kind of budget you want, ask each one what they'd want and see what you can work that fits into your budget.

Dealers typically do little to no email...

Re: How Buyer's Habits are Changing
TXEagle, Great rant. I think you are spot on. Given the changing buying habits, we need to provide helpful, relevant content to prospects. Instead of content about our industry (they don't care) they need content that connects with the questions/problems they are facing. Then we can make the bridge to our products/services/solutions. Do you have any stories that you can share about how the buying process has changed? Originally Posted by txeagle24: I think understanding how buyer's habits...

Re: Selling Copiers "What Would You Do"?
alright, it's the same as networking with your current customers. Over time I've been able to establish relationships with other dealer owners. In particular, one is Pahoda Imaging in Colorado. Working with Pahoda allows me an avenue to still get the order and I don't have to walk away. In fact Pahoda is een on accepting these types of orders from salespeople like you and me
