Has anybody seen the new 8020 and 8031 yet? We have one in our demo room sitting next to a 3800CMF. This new box from Konica is sweet...major improvements over the 7920.
Thanks!

Lee,
What kind of box is it? Is it similar to the 3800 CMF? What type of features does it have? Maybe you could give us one of your cool analysis of the unit.

Does anyone know what the service and supply click rate is for this product. I have seen the Minolta version quoted twice at $.08/color page for service and supplies. Is the norm, or just a low ball quote.
I just came from an appointment where Minolts quoted .11 cents cpc (all inclusive) for low volume around 5K per month.
Keep in mind that there are three different plans for this unit:
Everything included, however all consumables are replaced by the customer.
Everything included, limited consumables are installed by a technician.
All inclusive, everthing except for toner, insalled by technician.

My dealership is at .0175 (B&W) and .9 (color) for service, including supplies (replaced by customer). This is for the Konica products. We are going to start off the 8050 at around .7 per page on color.
Does anyone have any suggestions in selling against the 8031? They are in really low on aftermarket rates at $ 0.05/copy, toner inclusive.
I was up against Minolta Business Systems on a deal and could not believe the cpc that was mentioned. Plus they were giving away free toner for life of the copier.
I pleaded with the customer to get it in writing and to also reverify what the sales person said. My potential customer called, the sales person conveyed the same items as before the very low cpc .10 and free tonner for the life of the system. The potential customer then asked for this in writing. The salesperson said that those infamous words. "I'll get back too you" . After several phone calls by the customer the sales rep could not deliver on his promise for free toner in wrinting.
The deal swung my way and the customer purchased a CL7000 from me.
Sometimes you have to reason with the customer and tell him, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. In this case .05 cpc is hard to swallow. Someone is lying, whether the other sales person or the customer..
If you have seen it in writing, maybe its best too walk away!
On another note, I do remember Minolta having three service palns with these copiers.
One with very little user intervention, two with minimal user intervention and three the customer replaces all service kits and supplies.
You do a search here for more info or did alittle deeper from the customer.
Hope this helps!
