Excel expert needed
Hi gang, I need to get a sheet together for my team of sales peeps.
It maybe easier if I try and describe what the sheet needs to provide them?
They are a copier sales team and sell my services on a cost per copy basis on black and white and colour so probably 2 sheets will need creating but
will nearly be identical.
The manufacturer gives us all the info we need to get a ball park figure which uses the cost of consumable parts and the yield from the toner
cartridges (usually at a 5% coverage) although this is rarely done these days more like 20% >! Together with the recommended monthly volume of
prints. So for example a machine that will do 30,000 bw prints at 5% coverage could have the copy charge at something like .7 of a penny or colour at
something like 7 pence.
What I'd like to do is have some sort of matrix that I can refer to so if the sales person comes to me and says customer A is agreeing to do X
amount of copies per month and his coverage is Y so whatever x & y is I can suggest a cost per copy price based on this, this matrix would have to
have the ref/variable the same as what the manufacturer suggests and it would be great if these variables could be changed when new products are
launched then a matrix built from these going from say 0 copies to 100000 in 10k increments.
I'm not bad in hacking about with spreadsheets but starting from scratch is totally beyond me so any help would absolutely brill.
Cheers
Rich

what are the manufacturers figures that you need to base these calculations on?

and what would the coverage increments need to range from?

Hi Johny, the manufacturers variables change from model to model which is why I was hoping that the can be changeable, which then would build a new
matrix.
The 3 things that they always seem to give though is the recommended monthly copy volume and recommended copy charge amount which is usually
calculated at 5%
Coverage I suppose for accuracy would need to be from 0-100%
Thanks for the reply though mate, will be off to bed in an hour or so so don't think I'm not replying if you need any further info.
Cheers
Rich

The reasoning behind this though is if a customer will commit to doing a certain amount of prints per month then they should be rewarded with a
slightly lower click charge but on the other hand is if a customer is doing slightly more coverage then they should have to pay a little more??

i've very quickly made you something up, but it would require you to populate the matrix manually. drop me a u2u with your email and I will send
it over. In the meantime I will have a better think about it, I sort of misunderstood what you were looking for.
Cheers....
