Re: WHOA!! You Need to Check Out National AZON!
Art, you're right. National Azon is a great asset to us as reps to hit the AEC vertical. In addition they also sell just stand alone large format scanners. I worked with them (but didn't win) on an opportunity at a state archive for scanning super old documents. The rep was super helpful and if it weren't for a prior relationship we would have won. Also, they offer a pretty robust media selection for wide format. We've got several customers we order media for from these guys. They have a...

COVID19 "Remote Working" Day Thirty-Eight of Sales
So much went on today and I'm not sure where to start. I'm thinking I won't get back to full time prospecting until next week and that's because I've be digging to try and hit that magical number of 200K for May. As of today I have about 30K in opportunities that could close in the next 2 days. After that it's going to be a struggle, however after tomorrow there are still eleven selling days in the month for me. What's good about the eleven days is that I still have more than 50% of the...

How to manage paper engineering drawings in a digital world
How to Manage Paper Engineering Drawings in a Digital World Paper engineering drawings? Really? I thought everyone used CAD these days. Haven’t we advanced to 3D models? Well, yes….and….no.

Wide Format for AEC Market & New Features I Would Like to See
If you've been selling wide format MFP's for some time I think you'll agree that the manufacturers have been slow on refreshing most models from most manufacturers.

Top Ten Copier & Imaging Industry Predictions for 2021
So 2020 was a year we would all like to forget! The global pandemic has changed the way we sell and we've all lost some great people along the way. Our great industry depression is one we will never forget. I posted the paragraph below in last years blog. I'm sure there will be at least two or three bombshells with one of them happening in late January 2020 and then another in late March to early April 2020. There was no bombshell in January for our industry but could the "late March to...

Had a couple extra minutes this morning so I figured I'd chime in with my two cents as it's been almost 13 years of doing this so I feel I may know a little bit. Will be interesting to see if / what happens here. Both are formidable foes, so to think that one would merge into another or sell out seems highly unlikely. I would say Kyocera would be on the move. Knowing a local indy who was bought by Kyocera Document Solutions last year, these would seem the most likely to happen. Canon would...

Re: Top Ten Copier & Imaging Industry Predictions for 2021
“1. I'll go out on a limb and predict this merger or acquisitions to take place. Canon & Ricoh will merge or Canon will acquire Ricoh. Currently they are working together in Japan for MFP distribution logistics” Considering the continuing trend of people “printing less” rather than “printing more”, I do think it’s inevitable that copier/printer manufacturing consolidation will occur. I don’t know that “this year” will be the year that Canon and Ricoh merge, or one acquires the other, but...
