5 Ways to Reduce Damp Paper in your Plotter
Plotters and Wide Format Printers With summer brings the awful heat and humidity to New Jersey along with damp paper issues for plotters. Damp paper will cause print and copy quality issues because the toner and or ink doesn’t adhere to damp paper well. One of the ways to tell if the paper is damp is that the print of copy looks muddled or not a fully formed image. Our technicians refer to the issue as “blotching of the image”. Extreme high and low humidity can cause print & copy quality...

COVID19 "Remote Working" Day Eighty-Six of Sales
Today was one of the most interesting days I've had in quite some time. Let's start off with a BANG! I was able to connect with my net new prospect for a meeting in the AM. This is the net new account for about $30K, this is account that I've lost twice and working a third time around. Good news is that with a blind sampling of print quality my Ricoh device was picked as best quality 5 out of 5 times. Competitors were Sharp and Canon on this one. In a previous blog I spoke my travels to one...

COVID19 "Remote Working" Day Ninety-Six of Selling
I had one appointment today and that appointment was more of a holding hands session with their new copier. I didn't mind because I put the top down on the hardtop and worked on my tan for about 90 minutes with the drive back and forth from the home office. Every time I drive to this client I take the same route. That route takes me past the Garden State Parkway and Route 520 exit. The parkway is a major artery that leads to North Jersey and that's where many of the jobs are. At this...

Re: COVID19 "Remote Working" Day Ninety-Six of Selling
US GDP dropped 32.9% in the last three months, the worst in US history. Until the US Gov't effects a coherent national COVID-19 strategy, economic activity will not improve and those parking lots will not fill up anytime soon.

COVID19 Remote Working Day One Hundred and Forty-Two of Selling
COVID19 Remote Working Day One Hundred and Forty of Selling Copiers A very interesting day for me today. Today marketed the first day in 142 days that I spent the entire day in the field!

I had to be there by 9AM, thus it was time to make sure I left my home office by 7AM. In most cases with...

COVID19 Remote Working Day One Hundred and Fifty-Three of Selling
WooHoo! One more day we'll be at the seven month mark for working remote or least I will be. Am I happy? Not really because going we're now into the last two months of the fiscal year. In previous years you could do the research on your clients and pick those that you wanted to pay a visit to. In most cases these were the clients that you have the best relationships with. With most businesses not being in the office or sparsely populated in New Jersey that may not work this year. I guess the...

Color Label Press University "Glossary of Terms" Part Eighteen, Course One On the ballot in New Jersey this year is the public question of legalizing marijuana and if approved the new law would take effect on January 1st, 2021.

What can I say there really hasn't been that much to write about the last three days. I think as I get closer and closer to the end of the year these blogs may slow down even more.

COVID19 Remote Working Day Two Hundred and Forty-Nine of Selling Copiers Within a week or two at least here in the Northeast we'll hit the one year mark for COVID19.

What Comes Around Goes Around...
About a week ago I posted a thread in our forums about an appointment I had with a net new account here in New Jersey. I met with the client on Thursday or Friday of that week, went through the discovery process and got the feeling that this opportunity would have a decision sooner rather than later. The reason for that assumption is because the client just completed building out a new space and the supply chain issues our entire industry is experiencing. It's interesting how no one bats an...

Will Delta Variant Push Us Back One More Time?
Just when I thought the coast was clear of COVID19 it seems that we may be in for a bumpy ride. New Jersey Where oh were do I start? During our Governors press briefing today he stated that the Delta variant cases are up 22% statewide. In addition the RT has risen to 1.37 (anything over 1.0 means the virus is spreading). While our Governor has not mandated any restrictions other than those in already in place he did state that they may be coming down the road if the situation gets worse.

Evergreen Leases in New Jersey
I recently uncovered two very large dealers that operate in NJ that are using Evergreen lease with 12 month auto-renewal clauses. TGI (I have a copy of lease that is 5 years old plus new lease that was signed a few weeks ago and both have a 12 month renewal) Atlantic (I have a copy of lease that is 4 years old has the 12 month renewal clause) I have friends with both of these companies and I respect the hell out of those sales people. I'm just not a fan of 12 month renewals and I would have...

Whenever I see 12-month renewal in a competitor's doc I show it to the customer. That incumbent vender almost never gets the new business. I like when my competitors make my job easy.

extremely odd since Kyocera has it's HQ in New Jersey and probably a decent mount of tax money to the state. Maybe it's time for Kyocera to move to a more friendly state for business?

I Did Something Different Today for Lead Generation
At 8 AM, I found myself extremely far south in one of our open territories for an appointment. The appointment went well with a net new prospect that is having a terrible time with their existing vendor. Yes, it was a Xerox, and yes, the service and support were terrible. When the meeting ended, I found myself an hour away from Atlantic City in New Jersey. Just so happens there was an AEC trade show event there at the Hard Rock Casino. Since the AEC (Architects, Engineers, and Construction)...
