Had a pretty cool thing happen yesterday. I was visiting one of my existing accounts because they had a question on one of their higher end printers. The owner of the company then told me about a call he received from another business owner asking about how he likes his copiers. I was given the contact name and the company, since that company was only a few minutes away I was on my way.
Stopping in un-announced is always a little dicey. The DM was in the office and I had to wait a bit, and we then sat down for the next 45 minutes. Not sure where this will go, however every opportunity counts.
Enjoy these awesome threads from 5 years ago this week!

For a company that preaches on sustainability the way Ricoh does, you would think they would provide a rebate if you send them back that they would reuse them on other machines instead of spending the resources to manufacture additional control panels. These panels will eventually just be disposed of.
