Art, Love it! Great perspective, a true professional. We can't bat 1.000 though it is a nice mindset. Being able to debrief, self-evaluate and learn how to improve is the key. The office environment we sell into as copier reps is rapidly changing and evolving. You may have lost the hardware sale but may look what you gained. Play your "sales cards" right and this can be parlayed into more revenue and more profit. Great job!

Love it. This all played out in full between the first post and today. I lost a deal to a competitor that I truly have never lost an MFP to. I had my typical pissed off time period where I pretty much hate everything and anything and asked the customer the reasoning. He said the church board laid the proposals out and took the cheapest one. I will log everything in my CRM and follow up in 5 years. This is the second time I've lost the deal but I keep going back. I wished him luck and went on...

Ten Ways Copier Reps Can Make Their Proposals Stand Out to Win More Orders!

I wrote this blog about three years ago. I thought it would be a god re-post for everyone. In addition, I've added some new content that is relevant for today.

As much as we always try to get in front of the decision maker(s) there are many times when we just can't get the access to the DM and we have to submit a proposal to the gate keeper that...

Print Services, a Race to the Bottom or a Race for Winning

I recently attended the Lexmark Roadshow held in Vegas. The theme was winning, and the after-hours fun was driving exotic sports cars at Speed Vegas. Lexmark can win the A4 race and here’s why. Lexmark isn’t listening to the noise of keeping things as they were or temporarily are. Lexmark has always lived in and is doubling down on A4. A4 is the future and those who dismiss this will be left in the past. It seems amazing the speed of these small footprint output devices. All of which have...

Losing is the Key to Winning!

Special thanx to Larry and Jason who gave me a few ideas with this next blog! We hate to lose right? Nothing grinds my gears more, than losing a prospect. I expect that I should be able to secure an order from all of my prospects. I expect to bat 1.000, however the reality is far from that. I definitely lose more deals than I win. In fact, I lose about 65% of the time. Is losing 65% of the time a bad thing? I don't think so, because I know that every lost deal moves me close a to obtaining...

The new eruption of COVID in China is going to make a fragile supply chain much worse over the next couple of months. The OEMs manufacturing A3/A4 product in China are finding it difficult to get components from their suppliers. At least the ocean shipping of containers and ground delivery has improved once the inventory arrives.

Should We Celebrate Our Wins as Much as Our Loses?

The last three weeks has been more about loses rather than wins. We all love to celebrate the wins with our peers, however when it comes to losing that's a song we don't want to sing about. With every lose I'll always ask the client why we (I) lost. Three weeks ago I did a Better Call Art video about the benefits of losing. That was the week where I lost 60K in opportunities and one of those was a $25K net new. I had a good shot at winning this because the client was not happy with the...
