but i do know sales and marketing and because of the sales end of things .. distribution
notice
there is an attempt to blur events
when the very real reality is .. aero as a public entity <for 10 months now> has changed out how they come to market
the focus will be on the usa .. first which is why i fully expect 100 percent coverage by *distributors* by their annual
that kicks their supply into place .. to keep it simple .. they will need to be constantly adjusting *expectations* which is why i was so impressed with their hiring of franzke
not because he owned a small regional aero distributorship <tho' that doesn't hurt .. he knows the products like the back of his hands which mitigates the learning curves> but because he's familiar with building out domestic sales channels .. from his days with his previous employer ..
i suspect one of the regional sales mangers was brought on because of his knowledge of nascar .. and those *territories* who may be more influenced by the nascar affiliation
again .. this is basic stuff but a company doesn't pr new sales staff in jan and mar and have that immediately translate but it will translate over the coming q's
that is basic
that is why franzke's *relationship* with allied is so interesting to me .. and that is why i want more info on their <i suspect> strategic relationship
