Get a quote from a Ricoh Professional...Now that's funny. But don't worry the dealers are the most important part of Ricoh's strategy and plans going forward. They can't even update the Savin or Lanier site. Being a Savin dealer I have people rather frequently who go on the site and are turned off by how old and outdated it looks.

Will be interesting to see what, if anything, ever comes of it. We have talked a lot before about leads from the manufacturer. Maybe, just maybe, that request a quote will be shared with dealers as well. Of course with is being a Savin dealer I won't hold my breath that "Ricoh" will send us leads. I've gotten a couple in the last few years but they came from the Savin website requests. Not sure what I've gotten from Ricoh lately except heartburn and stress.

Why Does the Pratice of "Skating" Copiers Still Exist? Who Wins Who Loses

Earlier today I had a call from another rep that works with me. He was pretty upset that a client was able to find the same MP 3555SP for sale on the web for $300 or so dollars under his sales cost.

Manufacturer and the non-authorized reseller are the winners. And I believe that because everyone gets paid when a box moves, nothing will change and its going to get much worse. A couple years back one manufacturer opened up their entire product line to distribution (85ppm A3). I'm a dealer of the products and compete against non-authorized sellers and the internet often. My advice is to prepare yourself for the conversation in advance. Be ready to talk to the customer about why you should...
