To be successful in selling the Konica Minolta bizhub 180 Series you must be prepared. Together with this Product and Sales Guide and the Learning Group offerings you can build a solid foundation of product knowledge

and selling skills required to market the bizhub 180 Series.

For basic selling skills the Learning Group offers a course called “Product Fundamentals for Segments 1 through 3.” This course sets the foundation for new sales representatives to gain basic selling skills and an overall understanding of Konica Minolta’s product line. After completing this course, sales representatives should have established “core selling strategies” needed to sell the bizhub 180 Series.

When walking into a customer’s office, think about selling the entire Konica Minolta Line, not just a particular product. Listen to what the customer tells you about his or her applications, needs, and requirements before you propose a solution. You may discover the potential for a multiple unit placement.

The key to providing the customer with the right solution is to ask questions and make those questions count. Open-ended questions result in more information and fewer surprises down the road. Asking questions can also uncover opportunities to differentiate yourself, your company and your product solution. Gear questions to uncover specific applications and needs that only you and your product can address.
