Well needed was the vacation I took last week for our Stratix President's Club event. It was good to get back with management and all of the top performers for what could be my last Presidents Club event.
President's Club is not a given, getting to the club demands a lot of hard work along with the desire to be one of the best. Is there some luck involved? Damn straight there is because I've always lived by this motto. "the harder you work the luckier you get". Pretty much means that you create your own luck by your desire, dedication and determination to succeed.
Enjoy These great Copier Threads from 15 Years Ago This Week!
Xerox 7665 v Savin 6045

Just had a good account get talked into a free one month trail for a Xerox 7665. The actually had it for 6 weeks because Xerox had trouble getting it to run properly on their network. All color and black copies and prints were free! I lost the sale - long story - the young kid who I had to deal with(owner too busy to get involved) misunderstood my proposal, forgot everythig I told him, etc. and made a huge mistake buying it. If his boss knoew what he did he might get fired. I almost feel like

Ricoh Agenda "What Happened"?
Art Post (Guest) ·
"A Driving Force" was the theme for Ricohs National Sales Meting in Dallas, Texas. First things first...my take on the meeting...curious, Ricoh was making every attempt to assure their dealers that they are their main concern and that there will be no more "new points" of distribution. They spoke about the consolidation of Lanier Direct to Ricoh Direct and also the merger of Lanier and Gestetner Dealers to for a new National Network that will distribute Lanier Branded Systems and Solutions

Print/Scan Controller Needed A1060
lep524 ·
I need a print/scan controller for an Aficio 1060. I have the print only controller in the unit and the client wants to upgrade to the scan version and it is close to the end of their lease. I am looking for a good used unit or one someone has in stock that they would like to clear. We could even exchange the current print only version if needed. We can arrange UPS shipping to Canada so it is not a problem where it comes from. Any help is appreciated. Lee Kirkby Leppert Business Systems Inc

Ricoh Vision 2007 "First Night"

Ricoh Vision 2007 "First Night" What a town! The Hyatt Regency is my kinda place! Some interested items heard among dealers is that Global Dealers were univited from the show. I also had the chance to hook up with Drew (Mid South Digital), Jayson and Jason from A&B Business Systems. The National address is slated for 8:30AM and then followed by three break iout sessions and then the tech expo. Again, Global has dominated most of the talks and what steps Ricoh is taking to counteract. Will

Color Toner for new equipment
copyme ·
I am being told that new color copiers are not coming with atarter toners anymore. Therefore, I have to add to my sales cost a complete set of color toners unless the customer elects to go with a cost per copy contract. Is this accurate, no starter toners anymore?

don't make your purchasing level commitment Ricoh will hit your dealership with a "chargeback" and you will lose any pricing advantage you had. So, what to do when your client won't make the DMAP1 purchasing commitment. There's no good solution, because of Ricoh's chargeback policy and commitment level. Ever since they went from 9 levels to 6 and put a minimum commitment on level 1, "smaller majors" are SOL. My DSM told me flat-out that they wanted to discourage handling ship-outs for smaller

Re: Scanning File Type
I remember asking someone smarter than me (those people are easy to find!)this same question a long time ago. The response I received then (I think I was questioning the function on one of the early color boxes) was that when selecting TIFF / JPEG, the system makes the distinction based on whether the file is color or black & white. This may have been the "dumbed down" answer given to a salesman by an IT guy, but it may have some relevance here. Is it possible that on a black & white system the
