Day Forty-Five and in no time it will be a full quarter since being optioned to the home office. Our blessed Governor post this on Face-book today and the response was WILD! Of course you can only guess at who captioned it with "The fool on the hill". Within a few short hours there were more than 5,000 responses with 90% or more of them being negative. Geesh I wonder why? Monday was a good day since I was able to roll through my list of things to do pretty quickly. In addition I also...

During the month of April we posted 66 blog and videos. Special thanx to Ray and Larry for their contributions. In my twenty years of hosting this site I've never seen this much inaction from the copier manufacturers. Just today I heard from an unnamed source (frak I always wanted to write that), that XBS former Global has axed up to 50% of their Market Place Presidents. A few days ago there was a another thread about lay-offs from Kyocera. Really? Does it really need to be this way? When...

I received my early constant contact numbers from the email I sent yesterday. It was a little better than I thought for and much better than the first. 17% open rate and 5% click through. That translates to about 120 opens and 6 of the opens clicked through. I even had multiple clicks from multiple people. The plan is not to call the clicks right away but to collect some data on who is clicking what. I'm thinking after 120 days (4 campaigns) I'll be able to generate some net new leads. The...

Great to see that business is still happening if you go and get it!

I think we're going to make to an entire quarter of working remote in New Jersey. Phase two is schedule to start in two weeks (ten business days) and will be phased in over the next 4 weeks. As I said yesterday I don't see us opening up completely until Labor Day. Tonight I was on the phone with my good friend Jesse Harwell, he's the owner of Pahoda Imaging along with Perfect Copier . He tells me he's outfitted a really cool van and is taking a road trip east in 30 days. He wants to visit...

Short blog tonight please Yay I was able to knock out about 30 calls today along with maybe 20 emails. I was able to set two appointments and added zero opportunities today. Earlier in the AM I received the docs for the two small A4 orders I was waiting on. Thus I'm finally on the books for June and sitting at a measly $6K. One of my wide format net new appointments went well this AM. This is the one where I pitched the pre-owned MP W6700. Client told me they want it all they need to do is...

Have you ever finished a day and everything was a blur? Kind of how I felt after I clocked out about 6PM. I never been a big drinker and I might indulge once a month but I will be ready to tie one on after we've emerged from these uncertain times. Yesterday I made the first contact with an existing client via email to alert them to recent research that I completed about reducing their total annual costs. Those costs included the lease and the maintenance & supplies. The reply was "yes,...

Sales Journal Day 58 Yay, it's Friday and today was a good way to end the week, not the great way that I had hoped but we can't have everything our way. Not getting those things that we want will keep us on the path to the finish line. I had a bunch of items that needed to be completed before my 11AM appointment with a net new account. I was working by 7AM this morning working on developing a side by side comparison for the client. I took 6 key features that the client stated they had to...

One week from today New Jersey will begin Phase 2 of re-opening. Phase 2 will be a 2-4 week process. Out door dining, out door drinking (can you believe that) and non-essential business can now have people (limited) in their stores. No word on in-door dining, gyms, salons, barbers another other personal type services. Can't imagine eating out side and you're suppose to wear a mask when you're not eating. It's gotten to the point of why bother if I can't enjoy my-self. Rather easy day today...

COVID19 Remote Working Day One Hundred and Twenty-Five of Selling The last week or so with almost no orders has seen me fighting with myself. Am I doing everything right? Is there something I'm missing? Am I prospecting enough? Am I asked the right questions? What can I do to turn things around? I thought quite a bit about where I'm at for the month with 9 selling days left in the month last night. I figure that I'm right back to where I was in March & April where just keep making the...

COVID19 Remote Working Day One Hundred and Thirty-Five of Selling Copiers Today was one of those days when you it was non-stop action all day long. I finally finished up about 5 minutes ago with presenting an existing client a creative way to keep their existing copier. (PM me for details) I didn't receive any docs today but had two more clients that want to move forward with new MFP's. One was an existing account that I've been chasing for two years and another is a net new for a small A4...

Stay positive my friend! Keep working hard and you'll find success!

COVID19 Remote Working Day One Hundred and Fifty-One of Selling Copiers I'm not going to write about my day. Yes last week had it's ups and downs, with more downs than ups. Today marks the last week of the month and there are four days left to finish the struggle. Mind you I had no intention of posting anything today. However I could not resist the temptation of creating this video. The title is so apropos as to what we are all going through in this time of COVID19. Some peeps from our sales...

WooHoo! One more day we'll be at the seven month mark for working remote or least I will be. Am I happy? Not really because going we're now into the last two months of the fiscal year. In previous years you could do the research on your clients and pick those that you wanted to pay a visit to. In most cases these were the clients that you have the best relationships with. With most businesses not being in the office or sparsely populated in New Jersey that may not work this year. I guess the...

COVID19 Remote Working Day One Hundred and Fifty-Six of Selling Copiers Monday sometimes the best and worst day of the week. I'm in the camp of "I Don't Like Mondays", because I truly love my weekends and anytime off is a good time. However today was a Monday unlike many other Mondays and that's because I was sick as a dog last night. Not the COVID but more or less a 24 hour bug that was horrid. It was about 3AM on Monday went I finally drifted off. Yes, I woke up late and yes I had a...

Please explain content opportunities a bit more. Do you mean like Docuware? Thanks,

COVID19 Remote Working Day Two Hundred and Fifty-One of Selling Copiers At this point in time could we get to three hundred days? I'm so glad this week is over because I snagged another zero in revenue for the week. It's been almost three weeks with no orders! As I mentioned a few days ago this is some light at the end of the tunnel but it seems the tunnel was a little longer than I anticipated. Now I find myself with seven selling days left in the month. There's an outside chance I might be...

Content for me can a multiple of solutions than include DocuWare, PlanetPress, GoldFax, EtherFax, and Sharepoint

My day started kinda slow with our weekly virtual sales meeting with the team. After that it was time to make the rounds with calls and emails to move some opportunities closer to the finish line. In the end I was able to get one opportunity closer to the ordering process and the rest of the calls and emails seems to have fallen on deaf ears today. Yes with five selling days left the thought of pulling a zero is weighing on me. My afternoon was supposed to be dedicated to calls and emails...

HP Inc. has issued firmware updates for multiple security vulnerabilities that affect more than 150 models of its multifunction printer (MFP) products. These issues are not particularly easy to exploit. However, they present a threat to enterprise organizations because they give attackers a means to steal data and gain a foothold on a network, according to F-Secure researchers who discovered the bugs and reported them to HP in April 2021. The flaws are also dangerous because forensic tools...
