Selling Strategies for the bizhub 180

DETERMINING IF THE bizhub 180 SERIES IS THE RIGHT SOLUTION

No two customers are identical. Each has specific needs and requirements. We can make some generalizations about certain businesses and what the typical applications and requirements are. By making these generalizations, we can prepare ourselves to ask the questions best suited for that particular market. We have listed, in this Product and Sales Guide, a few market categories that have applications suited for the bizhub 180 solutions.

GENERAL TARGET MARKETS

Simply stated, the bizhub 180 Series should be sold to any and all customers that fall into the following broad categories:

•Analog copier and ink-jet printer customers (lower cpc)

•SOHO (Small Office/Home Office)/workgroups in a network environment

•Existing customers needing a smaller unit for departments

•Upgrading analog systems to Digital

•Replacing Competitive Segment 1 digital systems

•Low-volume, budget conscious customers in need of duplex capabilities

•First Time buyers

•Looking to consolidate page printer volume onto a faster system

•Environments requiring multifunctional capabilities in one device

Generally, your current customers that fall into the above categories are prime prospects for the bizhub 180 Series as replacement or additional units. However, as discussed in the following section, targeting new prospects in specific vertical markets can yield greater results when matching the specific strengths of the bizhub 180 Series to the unique requirements of these markets. In either case, new or existing customers, here are some applications that these solutions can provide:

•Simple networkable printing solution
