What Should we Do with all These VARs?
johnathan, Johnathan...JOHNATHAN...JOHNATHAN...JOHNATHAN !
Why would a proven model some 3 decades old, not hold up to supporting MpS?
Because no matter how many nifty tools or vendor partners come calling, no matter how 'easy' an MpS program looks from the outside, Managed Print Services is not a bolt-on proposition.
Sound familiar? Remember the 50% to the MpSr's who failed?
Next chance you get, check out the last 10 seconds of the ending scene in 300.

Top Morning Indicators Your Day is Really Going to Suck...
We've all been there, experiencing those morning events that just scream to you, "this day is going to suck."
Tie-Dipping in coffee, every shirt is wrinkled, car won't start...
How about these:
You wake up and it's Monday.
You wake up to realize you've stolen anything from Mike Tyson.
You wake up late for the Monday Morning Sales Group-Hug back in the crumbling world that is your company.
You wake up, walk to the bathroom, and Patrick Duffy is stepping out of the shower - it was all a dream. And you might be...well, "...skip to my Lou, happy...".
You wake up, swear by all the gods of fast food hell, you will never go to Wendy's again. Lift the lid, there are ladies about, feel a stronger than usual back pain, look down and see blood.
- this is what happened to me, today, this morning...
Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot!

"...You All Read this Tome for different reasons...I'm asking more of you...sure as I know anything, I am to misbehave..."

"...Let's be bad guys..."
Brick and mortar is dead.
The ways of the past are limiting. Still, the Ways are promoted, adhered to, and pushed down from the AllianceArchaic.
We who abide, sleep in the cubical that has become life. Suckling the metal teat, swallowing the dogma and false promise of a heartless Utopia. Blissful. One day, we wake up selling copiers.
Those of us who see, rile and squirm under the thumb. We are misunderstood chastised and subjugated. Seen as different, defiant.
Contrarian.

"We weren't Born to Follow..." - Brick and Mortar is Dead, it's a 1099 World
Walk the Walk, Talk the Talk...
I've been saying it all summer, "brick and mortar is dead."
I've been saying it for years, "the only boss we have is the one staring at us in the mirror in the morning."
I've been saying it for months, "now is the time in history when we can do exactly what we want to do."
Technology is allowing us to sell in the streets and the board room, not on a demo floor. We can communicate with people all over the globe, at any time - email is dead. I can run an MpS Practice from anywhere - I ain't kidding either.
