Re: This Copier Changed My Sales Life 15 Years Ago this Week!

Those were good times indeed. Big commissions and big points on the Ricoh credit card to boot. Very short lived though. I was doing one or two wide formats a month in addition to all of the mid-volume color machines that customers were buying. By 2008 it was over and the wide format market has never recovered. In the past 12 months I've sold 4 wide formats and only one was a brand new unit.

I agree with you, by 2008 the big Aficio points and the big commissions were gone. All of the other manufacturers caught up with the technology. In addition Ricoh rested on their laurels with the 240W and waited way to long to bring an upgrade to the market place. I average about 1.5 new wide formats per month, GP is significantly down, but it's now a decent revenue generator. The Ricoh MP W6700SP is now three years old and needs a refresh. What does Ricoh have in the works?

Hopefully whatever they replace the 6700 with is another compact machine that can be carried up a flight of stairs like the old 240 was.

MSRP of $18k, that makes $360 on a lease. Thus, you need to find someone outsourcing. After a little research, color labels that are 4x4 cost around 45 cents each. Thus someone outsourcing 800 labels or more can be a prospect for one of these devices.

This is the same product as the 5100/7140. The specs are exactly the same. No Plotworks but if you want Plotworks functionality you need to buy the Printcopy tool.

the older units did not have scan & print to uSB and SD card, nor customizable workflow buttons. Same engine, however the new op panel helps with some up to date features. Overall a poor showing from Ricoh

When was there a strong showing from Ricoh on wide format. Right now they are so focused on the production side and they forget what got them there. Wide format from Ricoh was behind 5 years ago and it's even further now.

Not so much. It’s such a weird deal, like trying to sell cars door to door.

OH, I’m Miss Eagle Eye when I go anywhere!! The other local dealer lost his partnership with Ricoh (he was selling Kyoceras instead) so I am always looking for his customers to touch base with too. Sounds like you are in a much larger market than I am. Rarely, do I find even an in-house IT person much less someone who is in charge of Office technology.
