Mike and I have have developed a "Newbie" Sales package for documents for the NEW rep. We have collaborated with our 40+ years of experience to put to together a package of documents desgined at giving new reps a head start in the business.

"Top Ten Rules for MFP Copier Reps"
"Answering Obection for the Copier MFP"
"Document Imaging Glossary for the Copier MFP"
"What You Need to Know About Leasing"
"Key Resources On The Web"

With the planned expansion, we will be "doubling our costs" for the site. These documents will be available for download for $10 for the package.

We are also developing a package for the "Seasoned Rep"!

Also, we will also be adding other features in the coming months. A P4P Vault "library of documents", P4P Sales Webinar. So stay tuned, things are going to sizzle!

If anyone would like these in advance of the release date, please send me an email.

There will be a small financial reward for moderators, plus the moderators will have the ability to access all of the message boards! The reward for that knowledge can be tremendous! We will offer advertising on these boards to pay the bills! There will be premium memberships available for these boards, the Premium Membership will allow you to have an Avatar, Upload Pictures, Download Documents, post polls and recieve email notifications of new psots.

Phase 4: Is to release a new site for end users to ask questions, our moderators will monitor this site and help users identify problems and then recomend solutions to the end users. The new site will be FREE for the end users. We will offer advertising on these boards to pay the bills.

Art, I notice with pleasure the amount of valuable work you are doing for this site which deserves more then a praise. I think the satisfaction that you will be getting from the feedback will by far be the best of all. One question I would like to make regarding the documents mentioned. As we all know today's buisness is no longer just pushing boxes but rather solutions. For this purpose medium and large volume clients and corporates ask for a study of their environment inorder to get a cost saving solution that includes software and hardware. Could or would the documents to be presented include some way of conducting such a survay or study. I heard that Xerox has some sort of document which their local dealers follow and they come out with a very professional presentation.
Regards and thanks

Turi:

As of this time, I do not have anything like this, however I'm sure if we all pitch in we can develop a document for all. I will give Steve and AJ a call and maybe we can come up with something.

Just an update on the expansion plans, we have run into a snag with info pop. We were orignallyquoted x amount of dollars to expand the site. When it came down to crunch time info pop wanted twice of what they quoted. We are seeking an alternative solution. We keep ou all updated.
