Re: Color MFP Trends, Tactics, etc
I havn't seen one placement of the frontier in my territory yet. But that doesn't mean they aren't out there. I see the whole copier industry making a shift to A$ devices in the next 24 months or less, they have too. Price is the driving factor, I've heard it all about A4's, such as "A4's can't hold up to heavy volume", oh yea then why do I see laser printers with hundreds of thousands of prints on them and they weigh under 100lbs? Heck, I just came from an account that has 180K on a Ricoh...

Re: New Samsung 11 x 17" Colour MFPs due Oct 01 USA
It was managements decesion that we had all we could handle with the Ricoh color product line and to stay a single line dealer for color. The only sammies we sold were the A4 black systems. With the intro of the A4 ricoh black, I doubt we'll sell anymore of the sammies.

Re: New Samsung 11 x 17" Colour MFPs due Oct 01 USA
Among many other incentives, Samsung is offering a significant per copier Credit Card reward on both their Colour and Black A3 Models to attract sales reps interest in promoting these products. The products themselves use a mono component toner/developer/drum system with a slightly higher Breakeven cpc. Due to aggressive intro promos, the copier crooks in my territory are already promoting the product in hopes of big commission cheques. The crooks often cannot get any other new A3 product...

Re: print for placements
zachary: I would suspect that the percentage for Ricoh for HV is very low if you consider 60 ppm+. I do not know of any graphs for this. However you may be able to get info from Larry Hunt. www.larryhunt.com He may have some numbers on placements versus Canon and Xerox. here in Jersey, I would suspect that the Canon placement is 65-70%, With Ricoh and Xerox neck and neck. If you have asked me this before the intro of the 2090 and 2105, I woul suspect that Ricoh's percentage was a mere 10% in...

This Week in the Copier Industry 10 Years Ago, The First Week in January 2009
Ten years ago this week and what was on our minds? It was the Great Recession. I remember it all too well.

Hope I never have to go through that again! Enjoy the threads from ten year ago this week! Weekend Copier Notes from 1/4/09 Neal · 1/5/097:19 AM According to survey of printshops...

This Week in the Copier in Industry, Third Week of November 2003
My sales month ended today, thus allowing time for our beloved bean counters the chance to close the month on the calendar end of month. don't mind and I'm kind of use to it. I figure that closing the month early gives me two end of the month chances to close some orders. Of course one is our actual close and the other is calendar end of month.

correct from NJ, large market place, however most in the AEC market are not looking to spend more but less.... With Ricohs intro of the W3601 which is more than the previous W3600, W2400 and 240W.

Re: New Home Page for P4P
Very nice looking page. Very clean and informative. I would, however, ditch the intro music. Unnecessary use of bandwidth. Why are you restricting the new sites to authorized dealers?

Re: New Home Page for P4P
You've put so much effort in to this that I hate to say anything negative. But, I agree with Jomama that the Flash intro is unnecessary. My habit for any site with a Flash intro is to bookmark another page so I can skip it, and I know I'll do the same when this is live. Otherwise, great job. I continue to sing this site's praises to all my sales reps and encourage them all to become members.

Re: Why I Still Cold Call for Copiers after 33 Years
Could agree more to the cold calling as well as the planning and preparation. I can send an intro letter in the mail, but if I take it to the reception desk to personally deliver, chances improve. A planned segment of cold calling/hot knocks along with a few scheduled appts makes for a good day. That cold call is your first impression and make the reception person or initial contact a VITO!
