Re: Why Social Selling Stinks for Most Copier Sales Reps
Art, love this! You know my take on the integration of social into the sales process. Sales requires hard work as most will not put forth the effort. The reason why ones social anything stinks is their effort, plain and simple. Operating with an analig mindset in a digital world = death blow to a sales rep.

Re: MPS and Linux HELP!
So some clarification first. PaperCut absolutely does support Mac. In fact, it is the only cost recovery/print control solution that I know of that actually installs in an all Mac environment. (Server and Client) It also is the only solution I know of that installs in a Linux environment. So both of your issues are solved with PaperCut. I included the install guides for Mac and Linux to get you started.

Re: "Green Jobs"
Well, I recycle as well, but my goal is mainly to prevent my trash from winding up in a landfill. As far as the trees, we're currently using more of them than we are replacing. The amount of forested area on the Earth is massive, so cutting down a tree or 100 or 1,000 trees doesn't seem like it makes any effect. Over a 5 year period, we lose about 1% of our forested areas. This means an area previously listed as "forest" has to be reclassified as something else like plain, swamp, etc. That...

Re: Are Step Leases ethical business practise?
Disclosure, disclosure, disclosure is the name of the game. I've not run into any step leases (yet) but know they are out there. I make it a policy to go over the T&C's of the simpliest lease agreement with the customer so that they understand full well. Can't tell you how many customers who were sold by former reps had now idea what the terms of their lease. To some it was a big surprise. Honesty and plain language is the best policy.

Re: Leasing Company Copiers are Underwater
This storm is really exposing the flaws of leasing and their insurance policies. I have a number of clients who are just plain screwed. In the future I would have the customer take the leasing company's insurance and not send in the insurance certificates.

One in particular had not even made the first payment on the lease and had only signed the lease 4 weeks...

Re: Stewart Letter to Customers in North East!
From a marketing perspective, the letter should have never even mentioned the competition at all. It should have talked about general event (Global being bought) and how their business has responded. By mentioning the competitor, the letter writer leaves the impression that they are playing catch-up to the competitor (ie., the letter writer is reactive and the competitor is proactive). Do you want your clients thinking that your competitors drive your business decisions? Not a good...
