Re: Selling Professional Services for SMB Accounts, Worth it or Not Worth it!
As an independent dealer we are definitely giving away too much Pro Services in the SMB space. We kind of us it as a sales pitch against the National vendors who almost always charge Pro Services. Right now we are starting to give the customers invoice for many Pro Services that we deliver but offset it with a credit, so that they can see it's value. This will set up a future invoice where there will be no credit. We leave it up to the sales rep how he sells the workflow and how much...

Re: Selling Professional Services for SMB Accounts, Worth it or Not Worth it!
interesting...on no commissions for pro-services. What have you seen for the price per hour of Pro-Services from the National Vendors (direct)? Thus what happens when you have almost no margins in a workflow solution? With me, there was only $200 from cost to MSRP with a workflow solution, are you then selling over MSRP?

Architect adds Ricoh PrintCopyTool in New Jersey “Simplifies CAD Workflow”
A few months ago I was able to sit down with an existing client to discuss the benefits of Ricoh PrintCopyTool. Our client was near the end of their Ricoh MP W5100en wide format printer/scanner/copier lease. The Ricoh MP W5100en was a little long in the tooth along with using the older Ricoh Plotbase software. In addition our client had also added a… Read More

Re: How Can a Scanning Workflow be Created on a Copier?
FYI: Most IT managers don’t like scanned documents sent using email or saved in Exchange. Exchange is not a document management systems. Attaching, replicating and storing large files can cause issues. Preferred method is to scan to folder or directly to the DM solution if that is an option.

Re: Twelve Days of Selling "Day 4"
Art, I've enjoyed reading your 12 days of selling especially the part about Saturdays. I really like that part now as when I woke up this morning I had an email from about 7am from a client who needs to spend the rest of his budget before year end. So not a bad Saturday morning start with a 25,000 order for 2 new color systems. This month should turn out well as I expect another 25,000 order on Monday and finished yesterday out with a wide format order and a small church system order.

What is Unstructured Document Scanning? Workflow Part IV
A recent press release from Konica Minolta SA (South Africa) prompted me to further explain why structured scanning is a must when scanning paper based documents. I would have to say that ninety percent of all SMB's (small, mid size business) are scanning the "old fashioned" way with multifunctional copiers. What is the "old fashioned" way? That would be scanning back to one's email address, scanning to a desktop folder, scanning back to "your" folder on a shared drive and even...

What is Business Workflow? "Part One"
Workflow has been on my mind a lot in recent months. In order to remain current and successful in this industry I need to step it up a bit and be looking for additional workflow opportunities. What is workflow? It's my guess that we'll see many different definitions of workflow from the different guest bloggers I have lined up. For me, workflow means that I can shorten a manual business process, which would then save the client hours of labor. In addition, the client...
