About six months into the new management the acting
CEO became persona non grata to two of our largest customers.
In an effort at damage control I was made point of contact for
all Unilever interactions. While I can pat myself on the back
for the win-win Unilever Canada project that year, it required
attention and effort that damaged my "group" sales.
It also resulted in the stagnation of several internal projects
meant to increase future sales.
Conversions and Rebuilds finally stabalized from the last challenges
at about 1.7M sales @ 42% margin. Hit ratio and turnaround remained
at about the same level.
Since then the company has had two more management changes, been
sold, changed names, and merged with another much larger company.
The focus has changed alot and my "group" priority is
almost non existant. I continue to fight for market share with
competitors without a clear goal or managmental suport.
A new year is coming and with it changes are almost certain.
Where I will be when the dust clears is not known. However, No
matter the change I intend on continueing my efforts to forge
win-win results for both my customers and my sponsor.
