SUMMARY:

Pursuant to the matter of amending section(s) 1.4, 2.12 and 5.1.72 (and others not listed) of the FP Authorized Dealer Pricing and Policies Guide regarding meter credit(s) for postage meters that are installed outside a Selling Dealer’s territory we; the undersigned; request that the following points be considered and that the FP Authorized Dealer Pricing and Policies Guide be amended to split (one (1) credit for the Selling Dealer and one (1) credit for the Installing/Servicing Dealer)

  • Currently the Selling Dealer receives no meter credit for Major Accounts or Corporate Accounts where the installation takes place outside of the Selling Dealer’s territory with 2 meter credits being assigned to the Installing/Servicing Dealer or FP House/Corporate
  • Currently there is little to no incentive for a Selling Dealer to place meters for accounts outside of their territory when the selling activities are performed within the territory and the decision regarding the geographical placement of a meter also takes place within the territory

I have been hearing from many of you that the current territory rules are costing us real money and preventing fair business growth. I am drafting a formal letter to FP leadership detailing these specific pain points. Send this link to your regional sales contacts today and ask them to add their support to our push for a split credit policy.

March 11, 2016

The momentum behind this proposal proves that dealers are tired of losing out on credit for work they actually perform. We need to keep this pressure up so our demands cannot be ignored. Email your regional sales manager today and tell them the current policy must change.

Yes, of course there should be a split. Truthfully, I don't understand why we would need a petition to change the current process. The office equipment industry has been creating comp splits for this purpose since the beginning of time.

If there is only one credit, the credit needs to go to the selling dealer. The commission should be shared, but the selling dealer is the one who got the business, Major Account or not.

Yes, the policy of splitting meter credits between selling and installing dealer/house should be split and policy change done. It doesn't pay to do all the work as a selling dealer for multi location deals if we don't get meter credit.

How about 1.5 credits for Selling Dealer & 1.5 credits for Installing Dealer? :)

Splitting meter credit gives dealers more incentive to pursue multi meter deals. Everyone wins.
