This Week in the Copier Industry 5 Years Ago

Fourth Week of June 2016

June is now in the books for me.  For me it was a June swoon with many opportunities moving to July and August.  At this time I'm not sure what the summer will bring. I feel that many DM's are putting off decisions until the fall because so many are in need of some time off from the pandemic.  I hope that's no the case for July and August.

The problem with the 5200 series was always the cost per page for the cartridges. We sold very few of them for that reason alone. That machine would have been a real winner if the consumables had let the dealer put it under a service plan at a reasonable CPP. Perfect machine for medical but just too expensive for the cartridge.

Re: What Would You Do?

Good move! Do the right thing. A competitor of ours is now out of business for doing stuff like that. They would leave the line blank and then go back to the office and write 63 months. Have seen deals where they went and upgraded a lease that was a year old for a new 63 month term at 1,000.00 a month and the customer signed it and never got any new equipment and was stuck with two leases.

So, two days after signing up and seeing many "leads", I received an email that offered the Premium Service for $5.00 per month. I signed up! I had to sort through 455 leads, many outside of my area, thus I just deleted them. I got the list down to 63 or so, most were for business intelligence, a few for electronic equipment. BTW, there is no listing for copiers. I did contact four contacts who were looking for business intelligence and IT services. Have not hear back from anyone. What I did
