Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta), is
hosting members of its midwest and west communities of mid-market
dealers in Chicago this week for its second “High Velocity Dealer
Summit” of 2024. The event aims to provide dealers with tools to
help optimize and benchmark their organizations against the current
changing climate within the imaging channel.
Laura Blackmer, President, Dealer Sales, opened the event with a
general session, enlightening dealer partners and press on the
strategic work going on behind the scenes at Konica Minolta. This
includes everything from program development to support dealer
profitability to creating a meeting format that allows for
meaningful conversations that create more value for attendees.
Michael Mathé, Chief Operating Officer provided updates on
Konica Minolta’s Rev’d Up Dealer Performance program, designed to
future-proof dealerships by growing revenue and diversifying their
businesses. Mathé shared success stories from dealers who have
progressed to higher levels as they expanded their offerings to
include print production, industrial print and digital
transformation (DX) solutions.
Jason Dizzine, Vice President, Portfolio Management and Planning
provided updates on Konica Minolta’s office and print production
and industrial print product lines, stressing the focus on
automation and how the company is making devices smarter and more
convenient.
A product showcase featuring many of Konica Minolta’s
cloud-based solutions for document print management, workflow and
security solutions is available throughout the event. Dealers and
members of the press will also get a first look at some of Konica
Minolta’s new bizhub One i-Series. The company recently relaunched
its entire line of A3 and A4 multifunction printers.
Breakout session topics during the event include digital
transformation solutions, marketing programs and enhancements to
service delivery. Rounding out the agenda are presentations on
vertical market strategies, opportunities within production and
industrial print and a panel discussion about automation for
back-office supply delivery.
“This our second High Velocity event, the theme of which
represents our growth mindset and desire to help both Konica
Minolta and our partners accelerate market share and improve
profitability,” said Laura Blackmer, President, Dealer Sales,
Konica Minolta. “This smaller format gives us the chance to engage
with our dealers in a much more intimate setting where we not only
have the opportunity to present new strategies and offerings, we
can answer questions and continue conversations in order to give
dealers the information they need to succeed. We look forward to
the invaluable one-on-one conversations we will have over the next
couple of days.”
