Re: 57 Days of Selling "Day 44"
Love it Art! I had a day of running around with a networking luncheon followed by a training for a new device that I sold earlier in the month and stole from Sharp. I was extremely late to the party with this deal but they already had a canon that was very old and decided they wanted another canon and on top of that wanted someone to deal with local over Sharp and Ricoh direct. Then I was walking into the grocery store on the way home and got a call from a person I quoted a machine to about...

Re: Desktop Shortcut to Scanned Images via store to HDD in scanner
Its pretty strait forward. Default the scanner to Store File to HDD. At the PC create a desktop shortcut to Web Image Monitor. Have customer click on Print Job/Store File -------> Document server. They will be able to download the document. The real problem though is you are encountering a lazy IT guy. Any IT guy worth his salt will help you set up scan to folder.

Re: Will outside Sales Rep's go away?
We definitely are not out chasing them but we are much more versed talking about them and the benefits of buying them from us rather than the big box store. It has led to some very nice MPS accounts for us this past year. I don’t have a final count but I believe we added about 3 million new clicks this year from printer sales.

Re: Will outside Sales Rep's go away?

Millennials don't seem to like to interact with others if they don't have to and as most "print" decisions move to IT, online buying is already what they know. Overall it is a convenience factor, they don't have to submit a form to a website and wait a couple days for salesperson to try and up-sell them to an A3 MFP. They...

Re: Nsi Autostore
Personally, I have not been successful in selling Auto Store so I'm probably not much help. However, I would ask why it would be necessary to bundle these things. If I was fortunate enough to be in a situation where the customer sees the value of the software and this criteria is necessary, I would propose a basic workflow and 3rd party DMS integration and Sharepoint integration would be professional services at a billable rate or discounted block of time.

Re: Who really needs 250 GB in a Konica Minolta Hard Drive!
Almost no idea what you are talking about. In my experience, people who have workflows that would benefit from storing images to the copier also need a Fiery controller.

So, in those specific types of workflow, yes, a larger hard drive is not only useful but necessary. For general office work, there is generally...

Re: CBS NEWS REPORT ON COPIER SECURITY
I talked to an IT Manager today who told me that if you format a HDD immediately twice in a row, it effectively destroys all useable data on the HDD. Most HDs store data in two parts. The Security Key and the data. Some Data removal software programs only remove the security key. I am told this is like removing the Index from a book and scrambling up the book. The data is still there but needs to be rebuilt.

Re: 2090 Doc Server Application
Why not store this as one whole document. I understand that certain sections need to be updated, but ... The 2090 Document Server has the Editor capability. With this feature you can select ranges of pages to be deleted and then simply added by scanning in the new updated pages.

Re: Storage of competitor's equipment during lease
Now-a-days there is no such thing as buy-out to Return...only buy-out to keep with a very high residual. We have stored equipment but the leasing company can never know about it. Marlin Leasing for instance sends it immediately to their legal dept for litigation if they find out. Far and away, the best answer is to fund the payments into the new deal and write the customer a check and have them make the payments and store the equipment.

Re: Storage of competitor's equipment during lease
Thanks very much, I think the consensus is that the customer must store the equipment themselves either on-site. Or off-site if no room in which case they are not going to want to pay for that, so that has to be factored in to the lease, maybe $50 a month for a storage unit, then it must be taken out at lease end, prepped for shippment back, then shipped. Not sure how often folks are going to want to trust a dealer to take care of all that - has anyone done that and if so how often?
