Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: StephenPSmith.com
Kris had a problem with Xerox recently:Accountability – The Tale of the Xerox Free Color Printers Program | Fresh Focus……
Let me tell you a story about accountability, regarding the Xerox corporation. I am a member of the Xerox Free Color Printers program. This program provides a free printer to anyone, as long as you reach an agreed-upon monthly quota, report your usage every month, and buy all your supplies from them. I knew all that when I signed my contract and knew I would have no problems maintaining the requirements.If you did not maintain your usage requirement, you got fined $100. If you failed to report, you got fined $125. I knew that going in.
Too bad that Xerox didn’t learn from this [link].
Kris, you should DM Jeff Jarvis at BuzzMachine!
