Welcome Guido

First of all: A warm welcome to Guido. We are so glad that he helped us in our complicated situation.

However, we do not want to get you more shares right now.

Right now, we do not know why our great, awesome PenTra 4.0 did not achieved enough demand.

Tomorrow, you will get a complete analysis of the previous quarter and recommendations for the following quarters 5 and 6.

See you next Thursday. April 6th: Die Stunde der Wahrheit fürs fünfte Quartal

Quarter 4 - It is getting dirty

First thinks first: Anyone need capacity this quarter?
hahahaha


So, this quarter sucks for resellers. To much demand - no capacity.
Now I know what it means: law of supply and demand


Right now, I can´t tell you more.

3 must to read things for reseller in quarter 3

Dear reseller,
we are now taking decisions for the 3rd quarter in marketplace. 
I want to talk a little bit about the strategy for us, so this game will not be a disaster for us resellers.


1. Be careful with the prices
The Professor told us not to start a price war. The customers loved our prices.
PLEASE: Be careful with that one.


2. Negotiate with Velocity Corporation
They should get a contract for this quarter, too. We need ALL suppliers in Asia. So we get better prices and quality in that region.


3. Think about your Supply Chain Management Information System
Some (very smart and sexy) companies started there SCMIS already.

9. You are the whole day on a phone on Monday calling your resallers and can't work, sleep, eat because "this damn Asians started a price war" with you.
10. You are putting girls from different excort services on a conference call, to bring down prices on their capacities for your volume, thinking how nice would it be to have a reliable supplier for long term relationship.
