This Week in the Copier/Office Equipment Industry 15 Years Ago (Last Week of February 2004)
Just a short story from an order I had last week. The client was an existing account, almost five years ago it was net new. Thus I had some promo's I could throw at the client in order to secure the order. Now it comes time for the renewal almost 5 years later, there are some payments left in the lease. There is no way I can sell them at the same lease price per month. I also made an early mistake on the pricing when I met with the client. I never presented the lease price for the new...

Re: USA Presidential Poll
Republican senator Lindsey Graham’s remark that there weren’t enough “angry white guys” to bring Republicans to power seemed prophetic in the light of President Barack Obama’s victory. A decline in the number of white voters and a surge in voters from ethnic minorities and women helped Obama on election night. Ohio, one of the key battleground states, was captured in part through a rise in turnout among African-Americans, who voted overwhelmingly for Obama. Back in August, Graham had said:...

Re: USA Presidential Poll
I would agree that the republican party failed to win over some minority groups. The answer is not to change the platform, but to continue to reach out to those groups. The values of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are not values that are only held by white males. You may want to check on the exit polling with women. I read that married women went for Romney. It is clear that Obama's pandering worked. We have the bail out of the UAW that bought Ohio and Michigan, the executive...
