This started out as a text message and just got way out of control. I was too embarrassed to send it so I just moved it here
Checked out Elan. I wouldn't thrive. I can only sell things I really believe in. I was a personal driver for a copuer/printer/paper salesman that made millions having every major casino Corp for clients. But the reason he made millions instead of hundreds of 1000's was compounding price increases hidden in the contracts. God knows what the company made. They ultimately got nailed. Everyone above him in the co. got prison time and massive restitution. He avoided prosecution but went BK. I'm into operations and procedural efficiency analysis, which they dabble in, but still, in the end, you have to upsell and sell in your/Elan's best interests rather than the client's. To act on the analysis and recommendations as to your needs made by the distributor of the product in question assures you a B+ result. It might appear to be an A+ improvement. That just means the sales rep. is doing his job well. In yet another example of the irony built into the universe, the job of an honest organizational efficiency consultant is to put himself out of a job. (Wow, am I on one today!) apple is a perfect example of why capitalism sucks ass. Up to the early versions of OS X, apple's products were in a league of their own. And they went broke. Since adopting a policy of milking and marketing that singular brand reputation, spreading out leaps of innovation into baby steps, forcing self marketing on their users - the gap between their products and their competitors' has diminished to nearly nothing if it hasn't vanished completely. Yet their financial gains transformed from BK to earnings comparable to but a handful of co's in history? Between '81 and 2003ish I promoted and sold apple products as if I was an employee, ...
Sorry, this has turned into a blog rant... I'm moving it over there... See my insanity at 2emuseu.blogspot.com ...I will continue this line of reasoning in subsequent posts...
