Re: Panasonic Canada discontinues A3 Copier Distribution March 2011

Re: Are Step Leases ethical business practise?
Not only are the less than ethical copier sales people in the world, there are just as bad Lease sales people. When these two parties collude together the customers best interests are never at the top of the list. You cannot assume that the good Lease sales rep you work with has the same personal value system as the competition. You cannot assume that the good lease company you work with has a good local sales rep. You cannot assume that at the end of the lease, the Lease sales person you...

Re: Memjet Color Printers to the Rescue?
I see these types of products making a serious impact on our business. From what I see from the video, I can't remember ever seeing a color laser that would be able to output documents that fast, especially with the envelope output. It's the tip of the iceberg with probably faster products to come down the road. Potential Users: Churches Colleges CRD's Print Shops Anyone else care to add to the list of potential markets?

Re: Successful Walk Through
Walk thru: Take a picture of each device (this helps jog the memory banks) Takes notes for all accessories or options on each device Find users for the device and ask them what type of media do they print onto (card stock, envelopes, ncr, bond paper, etc..) Print out a configuration list for each device Ask a user what they like most about the system and then ask what they dislike the most Ask a user what paper sizes they are printing or copying onto Anyone care to add anything else??

Re: Got A Situation! What would ou do?
A deal like this could blow up in your face.... I'd sell them a new machine and it's all going to be on how you do your proposal. As fisher states your probably going to sacrifice profit on this one. Use only MSRP pricing for the new deal, they bought from you once, most likely they will do the same again. Charge for all of the extras like delivery, install, training, support. If you can get the 600 per month looks like you can get 13K for the new system. So, you take the list price and all...

Re: Charging for Faxes
Fax is an option. You can add 4 fax lines if needed. List price is $840 for single fax line. The MSRP maybe less compared to Kyo but it is not a Canon product nor caliber of the system.

Re: Worst Experience with Nuance

You could call an 800 # while onsite and get someone to answer the phone who actually knew the product better than you did. Those were the days when eCopy was a Canon only product. But Canon did not buy a controlling interest in eCopy so when their contract ran out, eCopy opened up to all copier manufacturers, and their support became poor, the rapid expansion overwhelmed them.

Very few requests to be deleted from my email list and I have a list that I can continue to expand and reach potential customers that I could never get to. I like the fact that I can contact 200-300 people every 8th week, 50 weeks of the year, that I suspect at some point in time in the next five years will buy a copier.

Re: Over Holding On MFP Lease Costs Unnecessary Dollars
Gents, perhaps i'm stating the obvious but how about just cutting service or jacking up by 25% or so and telling them its aged equipment and therefore much less cost effective to run?
