Top Tips for Buying/Leasing a new Multifunctional Copier


Since the GIANTS are losing big time, I opted to put together a short blog on "Top Tips for buying or leasing a new multifunctional copier." Like em, love em or leave em, after 30 years in the biz I'm sure you'll find these helpful!

1. Find your local expert, he or she may have called you or sent a mailer.

2. Ask them how long have they been in their present position.

3. Ask then how long have they been with their present company.

4. Ask for local service and sales references for other firms similar to yours.

5. Visit their website, if it's old and out of date, so are they!!! To give an example I just visited a dealers web site and checked the current products, most of these products are discontinued, no dealer updates. Most likely they handle their service and support like they handle the web site!

6. Ask the salesperson about continuing education, do they take part?

7. Do a credit check on the company you are considering to do business with, you want to do business with a company that is financially fit! Need I say more!

These are all great tips, but what happens if you don't have the time to meet, it's your companies policy to focus on your core. How do you find the Quality Authorized Dealers, Direct Branches or Sales/Consultants that have the knowledge to improve the way you move, print, scan, copy and fax paper?
