ChatGPT Interviews Me on Why I Cancelled Hubspot and Signed Up for ChatGPT

ChatGPT interviewed me on how and why I canceled one subscription and signed up for ChatGPT in order to write a blog about my experience.

This is how that interaction went:

Me: "Ask me questions in preparation for you to write a 900-word blog of how and why I canceled my Hubspot subscription and signed up for ChatGPT."

Lyra, 2012 - I Just Received My Invitation

Ours is a world of choices, it's what makes us human.

Years ago, when I approached Lyra for my very first set of press credentials, I was impressed when they said, "yes".

I've attended the last three Lyra conferences.

Other than free entry in exchange for some tweets and blog posts, Lyra and The Death of The Copier have no other type of relationship.

They've never paid me a dime.

So when I say the following, my view and opinion are from a clean place with clear intent.

Talking, Rumors Flying - IBM to take Xerox; HP Getting out of PC's, Oracle to Pick up HP

All over the 'Net:

Xerox a good Purchase Target - WOW

"IBM to purchase Xerox" - WOW, WOW

"Samsung Eyeing HP's PC business" or not, Huh

Dell Smack Talk to HP - duh...

The Unthinkable -

"Oracle should Buy HP" - No Way!

Business as Usual -

To Customers - "Business as Usual" - YOU HAVE NO CREDIBILITY TODAY.

To the Channel - "Business as Usual" - YOU HAVE NO CREDIBILITY TODAY.

Why -

How did we get here? - History, repeats

The Dude - Speaks

Does All This make Sense? - No, Yes.

MpS Will Migrate Downward - Lyra Acknowledges the Death of the A3(Copiers)

The Imaging Channel held a webinar where Lyra presented, "Printer and Supplies market Trends That Impact Your MPS Program",

8/17/2011.

I found the content interesting.

Some of the better comments:

"MpS is a Significant Threat to the Supplies Business"

"MpS should be the first step in engaging clients for overall managed services."

"A3 in decline and has been before MpS became 'sticky'" - The Death of the Copier.

"Everybody is considering mobile printing"

"The key to the recovery will be looking at workflow"

One of the questions from the audience was, "what are ITO and BPO?"

The 2011 Global Managed Print Services Conference - Pictures of You.

My Current reflection points, and material for the future:

1. Philosophical discussions - this is bigger than MPS

2. Change or die, again

3. Innovate - now is the time

4. That MPS Insights Pro is better then I thought

5. This is Mainstream for the Smart People

6. Soylent Toner is People

7. MSP and MPS is difficult

8. It is about Content, not "Print"

9. Out of the Box - meaning so much more, I have never been more proud of my industry

10. Are you telling the Truth, or just stating a number

11. "I don't even use the phrase, MPS, with clients anymore"

12. Sheehan -" take a stand"

13. Sheehan - "not Paperless? Are you blind AND stupid?"

14. I swear, he reads DOTC

15. The Old Guys are coming back

16. I can't wait to see the first servers "ripped and replaced"

17. There is still a "P" in MPS

18. MPS is the egg in the cake, not the entire cake

19. The OEM's have Created Their Own Channel

20. This is an opportunity to remember the reason you got into all this in the first place

21. I have Pluto in my Seventh House

22. Ricoh is in - all in

23. Canon is finding herself

24. "Fire, Walk with Me"? - Greg has lost it...again.

25. MPS is a Process, not a Transaction

26. Fire and Ice, Cold Water

27. The 2011 MPSA Leadership Awards

28. Just like the chopper in Usama's compound, we must destroy MPS, before it falls into the Enemy hands.

29. YOU ARE NOT ALONE...WE, ARE NOT ALONE

Oh the fun we are going to have with all that...
