Re: Does your Copier Service Contract still reflect 1970's Analog Copiers?
Over my 15 years as a Sales Manager to 23+ independent dealers, I have seen many situations where dealers simply has far too simplistic service contracts that had not been updated ever. They mostly involve billable Pro Services, unstable Power Supply, two competitive vendors trying to flip each other's Service Contracts and Fuel Surcharges.

Re: Single click for 11 X 17
Well, there are a couple of ways to look at it. The fact of the matter is, the Canon dealer probably doesn't have a very good handle on the situation. And if the client is running a high percentage of 11x17, then they are going to lose out in service and supplies. We charge 2 clicks for 11x17. And, although I may lose a deal every now and then, by not being close enough to make a difference, we aren't going to lose our pants on mismanaging service. Your service manager is being sensible, you...

Hi Gregory, Minolta's are out of sight on this one. You are correct, this is a walk away. Shifting into a lease rate would be a desireable approach.

Re: DLL to raise rates
In speaking with a GE Rep today they are raising rates this high because they are limited on cash. They are hoping these rates will direct people to other sources. We have received permission to obtain upgrade to return quotes for leases and flip them to other lease companies and send the eqiuipment back to GE. Strong hunch GE sells off the leasing division soon.

Re: Global buysCOMDOC...yes you heard correct!

The ComDoc situation has only accelerated the need to support IKON and RBS and move away from Independent Dealers.

Re: Any comparison of Ricoh 240-480 vs Xerox 6204
Checked out the new Xerox at a customer's site and this is what I found: Meter reading displays separate meter read for each roll.

To make copy, you need to use touch screen panel to select "Synchro". If you don't select, you will get a copy that is a standard size with lots of blank paper around the image. Scan to...

Re: CPC rates vs Machine Cost with Customers
We put a very small monthly minimum on our service contracts. Typically $15 worth of B/W and $15 worth of color. You'd be amazed how hung up some customers get on the minimum. Trying to explain that the minimum is only in play if they barely used their machine is like banging your head against a wall. On the flip side some customers get so hung up on overages that they'd feel happier if you overcharged them and gave them a fixed monthly bill. Just so they never see an OVERAGE on the bill.

Re: Inbound Marketing For Sales Reps (and Sales Vets)
Hey Greg, Absolutely. My only rebuttal is that the word content is so subjective. Do you write lengthy, 1000+ word articles, or do you focus on writing shorter articles you can post 2-3 times per day? For SEO purposes, either can boost your ranking in Google. The golden rule of SEO is that Google rewards good, original content.
