Boy, do I have a lot of gripes, was a thread I posted on the forums ten years ago. That thread brings back memories of some of the bs that I've muddled through over the years. Thinking back, I remember what my wife tells me, "don't sweat the small stuff". In the grand scheme of things commissions, money, sales, is the small stuff in life. Family, and health is the BIG stuff, and is something I care about most. Enjoy the threads from Ten years ago this week! Sales positions in SE Wisconsin...

It's funny that the Seri Model 25 shows up this week in the list of threads! I'm currently involved with trying to place a Seri and a DD with a Pharma account. Ricoh discontinued the Seri printers years ago, not sure why, it could have been because of slow sales and the fact that there were not that many opportunities for them. The Seri Model 25 uses a UV light to cure the ink from a digital duplicator. You need special ink, modified duplicator drums and then the Seri attaches to the end of...

Oh gesh, do I remember those first gel-printers from Ricoh. They were cool, priced right, however almost all of the ended up with error codes (I think the code was E-99). The end result of the code was to throw the system in the trash It's ten years later and I bother with the small ink printers from Ricoh anymore. Although I'm a pretty big fan of the CW2201 color wide format that uses in. Placed three of these so far and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will perform. Enjoy the...

The one thread below reminded me of a recent appointment with a healthcare account. So, much for FAX is DEAD, right? Seems health care still needs and loves faxing. I'm guessing it's because faxing is still the most secure way of sending a document or maybe it's because it's just easier compliance for HIPAA. What ever the reason, FAX is NOT Dead with healthcare. On a recent healthcare install, I was asked if our Ricoh device could do a fax broadcast with the LAN Fax. I stated yes in can, and...

The Quest for $200K "There's Still 25% of the Month Left"
Some will look at a glass of water as half empty, others will see that the glass if half full. Both observations are correct, however one portrays pessimism and the other portrays optimism. I could look at the remaining week of selling days as 75% of the month is gone, or there's still 25% of the month left (woohoo). I prefer to choose that I still have 25% of the month left. Never been a quitter and now is not the time to start. Last week, by now most of last week is a blur. I don't have my...

Which is really cool, Monte and I speak from time to time and we've developed a relationship over the years. It's really something when you can develop that kind of relationship by communicating in a forum. There's been many times that Monte helped me get a deal because of his knowledge and I'm sure I've helped him out a few time also. But,...
