Re: MFP Purchase Decision Makers?

fisher ·
Depends on the size of the account. My big accounts......say companies with more than 100 employees......the decision maker is the Director Of I.T. in every case. Perhaps the IT Director runs it by his upline but I deal directly with IT. The mid-sized customers it tends to be a management level person other than the owner like a GM or CFO. In my small clients it tends to be the owner.

Re: MFP Purchase Decision Makers?

It depends on the value proposition I want to bring forward. If I am going with the whole "we'll save you money" pitch, I'll start with a CFO or Director of Finance. If it's regarding document management or a fleet replacement, I'll start with IT Director/IT Manager and go from there. Larry Levine's teachings on LinkedIn have been really useful with cracking into appointments/conversations with these types of people. C-level execs and directors are very career-orientated, so they tend to...

We are selling against these guys the same as you fight your low cost competitors. There are a few obvious detriments that seem to have stood the test of time.

I was hoping to live long enough within the organization to see this. Now it is a little anti-climatic for me. We believed that this would happen, but never saw any evidence of it.

Re: Wells Fargo Lease reduces Monthly Lease Cost!

montecore ·
Yes, this is what happens with WF when the lease renews for 1 year. I forgot the percent, I think it was 75-80% of the original lease. Read the WF lease and it will tell you the percent. I had a customer that was paying $800 per month with WF. Missed the letter of intent by 1 day the lease renewed for 1 year. The IT and Director was fed up with WF for many reasons. I explained that it was their fault the letter was not sent in. and they rolled 12 x 1 yr new WF renewal into my lease payment.

We use Print Audit (Ricoh has it re-labeled as PCS Director). You can know everything about each print job except the image itself. Who, what, where, when, how much...over 35 pieces of information on each print job. You can purchase the software or get it as a SAAS for a monthly fee. The purchase price is based on the number of clients or user licenses where the SAAS model pricing is based on the number of printers that are tracked.

Is your customer really sure they want to go there? Keep in mind that EVERY job would be seperated and count a click on the meter.

Regardless, consider the costs: 20,000 prints per month @ $.0075/copy and $.01/sheet of paper. If the average print job is 15 pages you have added $840/year to your costs ($2,400 over 3 years) If the average...

Hi Txeagle24, Technically Identical, Print Audit builds the PCS Director software for Ricoh, Ricoh then Supports and markets the PCS Director product as their own. If you have current customers on PCSD you should have them update to the latest version, there are a number of enhancements to the embedded they may appreciate.

We became a Premier Partner with Print Audit so naturally, our orders now go through them. The main differences have more to do with timing of upgrades. For instance, we have had Print Audit Secure for quite awhile but PCS Director still doesn't have it I don't think. Also, I think you'll find that you can't "sell" the PA6 software if you are a RFG Dealer. All that having been said, all the things that people care about functionally, are the same.

What has been your experience with this product? Thanks!
