No Risk Guarantee!
Our income is based on how much money we can save you!
Most of my clients come to me to get a full understanding of their current lease, getting out of their current lease and then starting something new. Most of the time my charge is going to be a percentage of the savings I can provide. A simple example: Your current lease and service contract is costing you $500.00 per month. Your current vendor can upgrade you now and get you into a brand new machine and save you $35.00 per month or over $2,000 over the 5 years lease term. Who wouldn't do that, right? What if you hire me, and I can negotiate a much better deal and save you $135 per month? Now you're talking a savings of $8,000!! I was able to save you an additional $6,000 over the 60 months. That's just in the first year. So why not pay me a percentage we agree is fair, 25%, 35%, or maybe 50%... let's talk.
Leasing verses Purchase
Cash is always best. But leasing is an excellent, easy option to afford the equipment you require. Understanding the differences as well as the down the road responsibilities that could cost you dearly in time and money. I'll do my best to negotiate the best cash/lease price for the equipment and vendor you choose. Or I can help you find the right one.
End of Lease Responsibilities
This is where they get you. If you're in a lease now, it's best to fully understand your responsibilities as soon as possible, at least within a year of your lease ending. Your sales rep may not tell you all you need to know. Their goal is to renew your lease and lock you into another contract. Sadly, they may not know the facts to answer your questions, only what they've been trained to tell you so you'll upgrade sooner than later.
Negotiating for a new copier
Always get a competitive quote. Always get a cash price even when you plan to lease. Chances are, if your current vendor can save $100 when you upgrade now, they can save you much more if you slow down ask the right questions and follow a simple process to make a better decisions for your organization. It is very important to understand the numbers behind the pricing! I will provide a simple spreadsheet to help you understand how 2 (The price of new equipment) + 2 ( the upgrade from your current lease) + 2 (misc end of lease fees) = 10. (Ok, just seeing if you're paying attention, the real answer is 8)
Choosing the right product or vendor
What do you really need? A 55 ppm or a 30 ppm device? Do I need an A3 or an A4? Stapling, folding, booklets, Apps, scanning solutions, fax???
You may love your current vendor, why should you get a competitive quote. Your vendor spends thousands of dollars to train sales people to sell the machine they want you to have, to make the most profit and bundle a service contract for 5 years. My goal is to work for you. I'll help you find the best product at the right price from the vendor of your choosing.
Sometimes you just need advice
I've spent the last 30 years in the office equipment industry. I've held every job: service technician, service manger, sales and sales manager. I've worked in the warehouse, delivered and shipped supplies, I've sold, demonstrated, delivered, setup equipment and trained customers. I've sold copiers, duplicators, printers, paper folders and inserters, cutters, shredders, mailing equipment, labelers, tabbers, bulk mail software, scanning solutions, pretty much everything.
I'm happy to help with any question or concern.
