76.0. "New Discount Policy" by SLOVAX::NEWMAN () Wed Apr 09 1997 18:11

        As reported in 72.* above Franklin had a policy to extend a 20%
    discount to 'vendors' of which Digital certainly applies.

    Since Franklin dropped the Vendor Discount, all discounts are based on
    volume.  In order for us to now acquire a discount with Franklin we
    must use a single Digital Account number 3518178 and you must use a
    corporate credit card.

    If you fall into this category, please use the account number above
    with your Corporate Card.  Volume discounts accure on an previous 12
    month basis but once we reach a certain level we will most likely not
    move back to a lower level.

    After     Discount
    $ 50,000     5%
    $100,000    10%
    $200,000    15%
    $300,000    20%

    Although that may seem like a big numbers, if 1000 people spend
    $50/year, then we would all enjoy a 5% discount.

    And since Franklin is a large consumer of AlphaServers, we get some of
    it back in other ways.

    Cheers,      Sandy
     

    Hi Sandy,
    
    Thanks for the info.  I've been buying my own Franklin replacement
    sheets for years, since Digital stopped paying for them (even though
    I used to use it exclusively for work).  I even paid for a refresher
    class.
    
    This is good news; unfortunately, I do not have a corporate credit
    card.
    
    Hope this notesfile picks up again....I'd love to learn of others' time
    management/saving tips.
