I thought it was time for a new banner.  Since I spoke with Greg Walters he gave me a few tips about the file sizes and working in Canva. Please let me know your thoughts about the new banners!

Enjoy These great Copier Threads from 15 Years Ago This Week!

prospecting for new business, keep in mind that the person you’re talking to is going through this same mental evaluation process. For example, if a receptionist answers the call and you say, "Good morning, it’s Peter from Lucky Print. How are you today? Could you please tell me who orders the printing for your company?" he or she will most likely respond, "Thank you for calling, but we’re not interested right now. We’re happy with our printer." The receptionist knows to respond that way because she’s

Re: Embedded Controller and batch printing

to batch plot on the embedded controller - you can use webprint for TIFF and PLT files ONLY. You can batch PDF's with DTB lite if a FULL version of Abobe is loaded on the same workstation as DTB, or if using DTB pro. You can drag PDF's directly into the print driver (however, if you need 3 sets, drag 3 times...) You can load KIP request ( a free download from kipusa.com) on the customers workstation, and use that, pointed to the TCP IP address of the Ricoh... (NOT RECOMMENDED!!!)

Re: Embedded Controller and batch printing

Best set up for batch printing is w/ external controller, Plot Client WIN and PS, DWG licenses. Processes drawings in 30 seconds rather than 3 minutes, and is versatile for todays customer requirements, ie: printing out bid sets from electronic files off CD's, e-mail or websites. Use the Ricoh Scanner Option for direct network scanning.

Re: Service Agreements and "Free" Copies

Frankly I'd charge a lower color click rate and say to the customer "we trust YOU to manage your color output, why waste those FREE color copies if you don't use them". Of course, I get nothing for clicks or MA's as a sales rep, give me the profit on the box and I'm happy.

ASTONISH CUSTOMERS Providing outstanding service means nurturing your clients by consistently doing things that move the customer from mere satisfaction to astonishment. In other words, even though delivering a quality job on time may often require that your salespeople go out of their way, in most cases the client won’t acknowledge the salesperson’s extra efforts because they perceive these efforts as the salesperson’s duty. It is only when you go beyond the expected--when you astonish your
