Why Should You Sell Newcastle?

• Excellent margins, adding value to your print solution, separating yourself from other VARS who don’t add value and the opportunity to:

• sell more printers, media, service – eliminate sharing • upgrade thousands of static printers to “wireless” • discuss something different with prospects • discuss best practices with existing accounts

• The product works great – growing 30% annually

• The VAR who is considered an advocate for their customer and deeply involved in improving their business will maintain and grow these accounts.

• These products reduce motion, transportation, and sharing which all equal sizeable labor savings, process improvement, and error reduction.
