Architect in New Jersey Adds Ricoh MP W7100
front view It’s not often that you can place a Ricoh MP W7100 in the field. In most cases the Ricoh MP W6700SP is more popular because of the lower price point from the Ricoh MP W7100. It’s also about the print speed too. The W7100 will print at ten pages per minute. The Ricoh MP W6700 prints at 6.7 pages per minute. Our existing client had an older Ricoh W2470 (owned) and the Ricoh W5140 (end of lease) in place. However, their volume has increased to about twenty thousand square feet a...

The Death of Global Imaging Systems is Confirmed
On the 30th of October we posted this topic on the Print4Pay Hotel forums The Death of Global Imaging Systems? Just a few minutes we were notified that indeed Global Imaging Systems is no more. Xerox has announced a name change along with many other changes that have been posted on thelayoff.com. It was also posted that the name for Imaging will be XBS (maybe Xerox Business Solutions or Systems). Here's a snipped from a recent thread: Name change announced Health care plan combined 401k...

Rules of thumb...sell nothing but the need for an appointment on a phone call or initial call. Also never "sell" during your fact-finding for several reasons: 1.) The fact-finding process gets interrupted or stopped. 2.) You come across like a dog salivating over fresh meat. 3.) You tip your hand and lose some of the thunder you will get from your proposal. 4.) You inspire additional questions and thought processes that the prospect will then discuss with competitors. read the rest in the...

Xerox "Unable to Adjust"
About four weeks ago I was told that that Global Imaging was going to be absorbed by Xerox in the next few months. In addition it was mentioned that this absorption would result with the loss of many managerial positions. In fact one of those managers called me to ask a favor in reference to a past issue that was posted on this site. It didn't take long for me to put two and two together and I agreed that most of what I heard could come to fruition. After that initial conversation the last...

Just a little more on the show that I'd like to share from this week. While standing at the end of our booth I was watching the reps from other companies in our section. So many peeps passed their booth and they did not say a word! No greeting, no communication, they waited for someone to speak to them first. Needless to say I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that many warm leads were lost because these reps were never taught the fine art of "hawking" while at a trade show. I was taught many years...

Selling Copiers "Do You Have That Special Lockout Feature to Win the Order?"
You've heard it, I've heard it, our clients tell us, "you're selling a commodity, all copier (MFP's) do the same thing and service is not a major concern". Just give me your best price! Yup, you're thinking the same thing I'm thinking after hearing that statement. Is it time to walkaway, could it be time to drop back to your value points, should you place the price game, would you sell the system at your cost to get the revenue, or time to tell the client that "poor service is long forgotten...

What China Showed Me
I had the honor of speaking at the RemaxWorld Summit held Oct. 12- 14th 2017 in Zhuhai China.

In Memoriam of Copiers Terms and Features from Days Gone By
'In memoriam ' is a Latin phrase that directly translates as "into memory". I really wasn't sure how to title this blog, and thought long and hard about how to get my message across in the title.
