Re: One BIG Take Away from the Top 100 Summit
Art, Great article I always used the purpose question when hiring. Ask the candidate what their purpose is, what would drive their core being to do what every it takes as long as it's legal, moral, and ethical to succeed in the career of sales? When people have the conviction for their purpose they will have the strength needed when the world of circumstances attempts to stop their momentum.

Re: One BIG Take Away from the Top 100 Summit
This is a tough business and finding young blood who are willing to gut it out is HARD. I've been in this industry for 5 years now and every year the thought of quitting enters my mind. The reasoning to stick around has to be more than just about money. For me, lasting 10 years in copier sales is the equivalent to getting my "black belt" in "the art of selling." I already have the confidence to feel like I can do anything -- real estate, start my own business, etc... I've gone through the...

The 78x series was overdue to be replaced and the...

As Friday came to close, there were only two (sales) of us left in the office by the time 4:30PM rolled around. Why were we in the office at 4:30PM on a Friday? That's easy, our month ends on Monday and we're still trying to get move shit forward. As we were packing up, the topic of demonstrations came up somehow. There we were reminiscing about how awesome it was to do demonstrations. The planning, the preparation, and of course the sizzle. I'll admit it, I could present excellent...

Re: Big changes at Ricoh USA Today, what's old becomes new, what goes around comes around. It's 1986 again" .
Interesting webinar. It makes complete sense for Ricoh to do this, after all they have been selling hardware and service at dealer cost or below and just shipping supplies to anyone who asks. They finally figured out that they can't actually make any money doing that. I had a direct proposal that said "we don't charge for excessive toner usage (we do) we don't even care how much toner you use". One of the colleges I used to have is paying $0.03 for 100% coverage 12x18 single clicks on a...

The quid pro quo in Sales
About a month ago I had a call from an existing client to meet about upgrading two of their older copiers that they owned and were under a maintenance agreement. That call came from the new IT Director since the existing IT Director was retiring. That meeting went well and since there were four other A3 printers, service has been exceptional, I priced those two MFP's with acceptable gross profit (I'm not in this business to give **** away because we all have to eat).
