This Week in the Copier Industry 15 Years Ago (First Week of October 2004)

 

I had this short chat with my VP of Sales today.  I exhausted my pipeline in recent months, not as much time to prospect during that time.  Put the foot on the pedal this week with almost 70 calls, and 40 plus emails. Resulting in 10 appointments and 3 opportunities for about $50K.  Need to do the same for the next 3 weeks!  Enjoy these awesome threads from 15 years ago this week!

Sales Solution

I am at the end of my rope. Any tips for haggling with procurement people?

As such, they may not be interested in many of the features which benefit the end-user (and which you believe differentiate your product from the

My contact was the IT director who was fair and honest with me. 2nd Post I lost a "color contest" to the bizhub and it did do better color.

1045 jams in morning

I have 1045/print/fax/paper pedestal, no finisher. Volume is 25K per month. The machine runs great, EXCEPT, every two or three days or so it jams first thing in the morning, at the fuser exit sensor. Page is halfway out of exit area of internal tray. Clear the jam, and it jams again 4 or 5 times, then runs flawlessly the rest of the day, maybe up to three days. THANKS PEOPLE!!!

Probably just a training issue. I have also placed a few and my customers seem to like to quality better than the 6513, in fact i have been focusing on replacing the 13's I have in
