Re: What the heck is a Customer Success Manager?
Paul Very nice. A few questions for you. Was the SBB just for printers or where their MFP's included also? At $35K per month I'm thinking their had to be some MFP's. As you know I'm a believer in SBB, and just wish the dealership that I work for could embrace SBB. it is the wave of the future and the only way to combat the race to zero for the cost per page. Art

Re: What would your service department do?
If they asked me, I would tell them to make sales cost what the wholesaler bid plus the cost of the PM and limit the sale to a 36 month term lease and under 20K/mo. environment. I guarantee all would be happy...sales, service and customer.

Re: What would your service department do?
We do quite a bit of pre-owned equipment. We probably wouldn't bother reselling a high meter machine like in the original post to a client. We would wholesale a machine like that. We cherry pick low meter machines from our own equipment that comes back and from several brokers. The majority of our pre-owned that we sell to customers has less than 200,000 total impressions and a lot of it has less than 100,000. Our supply of real nice, low meter pre-owned is such that we don't need to sell...

Re: What would your service department do?
We do a fair amount of preowned equipment. We also cherry pick our own lease returns and a few brokers here and there. We typically do not put a machine back out in the field with more than 200,000 on it. Bigger machines maybe 300K but thats about our limit.

Re: What would your service department do?
Of course I keep a few junkers around for the folks who only want to spend a thousand dollars or more. I'll never understand the thought process in that. We have a customer that buys a 800.00 junker about once a year. He is on his 4th one now in 3 years and even after showing him he could have bought a new one that would last a long time, he sends me a check for 800.00 and tells me to bring the machine over.

Re: More Info on "Subscription" Services
Well it's not exactly a subscription service. Take Ricoh ICE for example, if a dealer wants to resell it, it's available for purchase for 1-5 year terms for a decent discount. Now I've heard the same as you, that with the new intelligent series that users will be able to download apps and pay for them monthly. Which leads to a heck of a lot of questions. Who gets the comp? Is a credit card info residing on the hard drive? Who's going to support it if it's downloaded directly from the...

Re: More Info on "Subscription" Services
We are often guilty of looking at everything through a dealer's lense. Ricoh doesn't look at anything with an eye to the dealer channel. When you look at SAS from the Direct perspective things make more sense.
