Re: COVID19 "Remote Working" Day Eighteen of Sales
People always like getting free stuff. Two promo ideas 1). Offer 1-5 free color banner prints to your clients and prospects.. Many copiers can now print banners up to 12"W by 48" L . This feature is often not promoted. It costs you almost nothing but the customer might perceive as having value. It could be "Open for Business", "Happy Birthday," "Grand Re-Opening", whatever. The customer can dictate the content. You can add a little logo in the corner of the banner "supplied by ABC Copier...

Re: Greg Brown
What shame……………………… Like most of us I never met Greg but I valued is input. We should do something to remember Greg. How about this; Members submit their success stories here at the hotel. On Feb. 1st 2005 the managers or a committee review the success stories and pick the best 5 or so. Then members vote on which story is the best (not necessarily $$ wise) and then on February 14th of 2005 the votes are tallied and we award the Gregory Brown Memorial Achievement Award.

Re: 2045e and mailbox cs360
Hmm.. We have been told that it is possible to modify a CS360 to 2035e/45e (NOT 2035/45) I think this is caused by the demand for a physical mailbox, from especially scandinavian users. If you use the electronic mailbox, the user waste a lot of time waiting by the machine. You can order a kit from RICOH for the CS360 that modifies connections, firmware, etc. It works ok, except for some small details, like the color; AF350/450 brown-greyish (

This Week in the Copier Industry 15 Years Ago (Second Week of February 2005)
Just a little more on the show that I'd like to share from this week. While standing at the end of our booth I was watching the reps from other companies in our section. So many peeps passed their booth and they did not say a word! No greeting, no communication, they waited for someone to speak to them first. Needless to say I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that many warm leads were lost because these reps were never taught the fine art of "hawking" while at a trade show. I was taught many years...
