Re: Leasing companies
We use USB and Great America for 99%. We still have some old GE, Wells Fargo and DLL, but try to move them to USB and GA whenever possible. I can reccomend both to work with!

Re: Leasing companies
Used to use GE, left b/c their service got worse and worse...there have been a few cases where they contacted our customers offering buyout of their leased equipment. We switched to Great America. They were great for a couple of years. In our experience, GE is now kicking GA's but in rates. On a 3k deal where we're selling a payment there's $252 more gross profit with GE. Try telling a sales rep that it's worth $125 of their profit to go with another leasing company. GA's service is better...

Re: The End Is Nigh
Art, thanks for your reply. A lot of GREAT points in there. I literally spent this weekend relaxing (much needed) and thinking about what you said. Here is what I've been thinking about: 12-18 months ago, I could win competitive deals quite easily with $2000 GP. Now, I'm losing with $1500 in a 45-ppm colour box. That means American pricing has flooded the rest of North America, where $1000-$1500 in GP in a commercial street deal seems to be the norm. To increase my closing ratio in...

Re: Providence Capital Funding - Beware
Just another reason I don't do business with lease companies. Some maybe quite good (I hear good things about Great America), but I want to control what happens at the end.... Find a local bank, explain what you do, assign them the lease. You bill the customer and bank debits the payment from your account. E-automate makes it really easy... Have about $1.5MM on the books (including MPS contracts) and hope to hit $2MM by end of year. Never loose a customer because of the lease - rarely loose...

Re: Is The Time Right for Copiers to be Made in The USA Again?
I agree with Jason. It would be nice to have technology manufactured in the US in general. But at the end of the day our labor expenses and manufacturing process automation/quality assurance seem lacking in the globalized landscape. Manufacturing copiers and printers here would also involve moving the manufacturing from existing plants. In a market space where existing manufacturing is below capacity, it would make the case harder to move one. To provide a solution - why don't we reinvest in...
