The Cleansing

Please get your votes in quickly so I can provide the answer I have been hearing!

I think you've got a decent sampling there. What's the rumor?

Preliminary reports indicate that 7 out of 9 voters were correct. Meaning, an experienced Savin DSM will not be promoted into the Savin Brand Manager position, nor will a Ricoh DSM slide into the role. In fact, yet another IKON employee will now join the RFG East Indirect (i.e. Dealer) Region. As previously reported, an IKON employee with no DSM experience was recently named Lanier East DSM after the resignation of the former DSM. So, IKON personnell have filled two position within a Dealer Region at Ricoh after the 'Savin' and 'Lanier' salespeople were forced out of the company. Let's play "Can you identify the trend?"

You are incorrect. The assignment was made from within Ricoh. Let's play "Can you correct your previous statements and retract your prediction?"

The position was filled by a DSM that formerly supported IKON. Correct? Yes. Not many Savin Dealers will appreciate that fact. Oh by the way, the former Savin Brand Manager that was spirited out of the company in quick fashion was #1 (highest percent of revenue plan) in the United States for the 1st QTR of FY2009, for all Ricoh, Savin, and Lanier Brand Managers. Correct? Yes. As Ricoh shrinks the talent pool and fills positions with IKON personnel (or those who just recently supported the IKON channel), other things will soon shrink as well.

Here you go, for all the world to see. Let me know if you want to know the three options that the Savin Brand Manager was given.
