How We Came To Be
In the 1980s, before computers and printers sat on every desk, back when the internet had not been heard of, copiers were one of the most expensive and technologically advanced devices in an office. Companies did not understand these mysterious machines - except that they broke down and when they broke down they were expensive to fix. Xerox owned the marketplace, but manufacturers like Canon, Mita, Ricoh, Savin and Sharp began making huge inroads in capturing market share. With few exceptions, companies changed suppliers every time they bought new equipment. Most companies relied on their current vendor to help them understand their needs and analyze the competing vendor's proposals. This created a great deal of confusion.
Over time, companies began trying to develop long-term personal relationships with copier salespeople, hoping that through these relationships they would get a better deal and that the company's needs would be met. And, as smart business people, they would still shop around to make sure they were not paying too much. It was a highly competitive marketplace. Rod Davis was a copier salesperson during the 1980s, and he did a good job helping companies with the purchase of their copiers. He put in his time out in the field and worked up through the ranks, starting off as a service technician and then a salesperson, learning every aspect of the business inside and out - from sweeping the sidewalks to paying the taxes. In 1986 Rod began to manage the small dealership he was working for in Idaho. He and his company had a good reputation, and they regularly received requests from other companies to help them with their copier and printer needs.
