Re: What's the weirdest place you've sold a copier to?
Those are all pretty good and I agree this jobs takes you into businesses that you never thought of. The best I can do in 18yrs is a bee farm and the office of personnel management in Pittsburgh. The entire operation is in a mine and in the middle of freaking nowhere!

Re: Network Services
I feel in order to transformm your dealership there needs to be a strong emphasis on the IT side of your business. Your clients need to view you as a solutions provider which means being verse in all apsects of our business. It just so happens the IT side of life is extremely important to our business. Fluent IT within a dealership could lead to a wealth of new business opportunities. When you farm out IT to connect you lose control. This my opinion.

Re: Political Speeches
This is the type of Political discourse we all need; Statement of views, discussion and a resolution that we disagree but that its OK to disagree. I hate the "down your throat" rhetoric that you hear on talk radio or the cable "news" networks - nothing more than salacios entertainment. As for the fishing holes I'm sure you know of a good farm pond in Ky.

Re: How to Win Against Direct"
Gosh, I thought everyone knew that the directs were like the major leagues and that the dealer reps were the farm system. Ocassionally one is good enough to be brought up to the bigs.

Re: Pleasant Valley School Bid RBS
I was involved with this bid. They do not want to do business with RBS but I can not even come close. This is a five year deal. Service is all inclusive along with staples. Just Friday my DSm said I would get no support from Ricoh because this is a RBS account already. Nice to see they support the growth of the dealers while direct gives the farm away.

Re: Duplicator and sorting ideas
Amanda: What type of finishing?, do they need booklet making, more than 20 11 x 17's? Would they like to have spot color? Finishing options are available, however my first approach would be with two 90's with the finishers. You can sell the sizzle, that the systems will pretty much work unattended. They will have to fill and empty the paper, any printer would love to have the job run with out much labor involved and you can also sell the sizzle of direct print from the PC. If the finishing...

Re: Ricoh Rcloud Services
Hey Bumble: I guess in the states that would come under Ricoh's MDS "Champs", hope I'm right on the that. We can engage with a customer and then have Ricoh involved. However, for MNS and BDR, we do that internally and don't farm that out.

We spedn way too much and any talk of cuts is treated like the end of the world.

Re: Building Credibility with the IT Department
I sell "down the street", anywhere from the small office to the local university. Heres what I have noticed.
