Real Copier Sales

Needless to say when that same person called about becoming a partner recently I had to shoot it down.....more here

Quite the honor I'm sure but I wander the wisdom of this contest in today's marketplace. How many man (or women) hours were invested by reps nationwide practising for and competing in a contest for skills that are seldom used anymore? I can't remember the last time I did a competitive demo to win a sale. Is it just me? Do sales reps do competitive demos much anymore? 20 years ago it was critical but not so much anymore. read more here

Re: Printing from RFMS software
John, You could try setting up a separate Printer using a basic or even Universal HP Print Driver and point it to the Canon. I have done it before using an HP PCL Driver and it allowed me to print from applications that Just would not print using the Canon Driver. As long as you don't ask it to do any advanced functions the PCL code will be understood. At least it has been on the larger Canon MFDs I don't do too many of the smaller CDW printers. Good Luck!

The “Relantionshipless” Sale
Yes, I created a new word. “Relationship-Less” As time moves along so must our thinking. We hear a lot about relationships and their importance in the sales process. I agree with that. However, I also caution those who believe that their success will hinge on only building 1990 style relationships. In these times we live relationships are modifying too. Yesterday's relationship building as a must before selling. Is not the reality of many today's buyers. There are many things purchased every...more here

Re: NCR Staple Solution
Art - I chatted with Xerox and they said the only way for it to work was if the job was 3 pages. They said they didn't have a way to staple every 3 pages within a job. They also have exception rules... where if we can get the job to be just 3 pages it can pull from tray 1, exception - tray 2, another exception - tray 3. The company in Germany you mentioned didn't reply, so that was a no go. I appreciate you checking on this for us....more here
