Of course it's the last thing on the list, because we wouldn't want to give anyone any information about the company or the drug now would we...
Why do I care? Because it's part of a sales/marketing strategy to have a website with information that people can find. Some writes something about the company in the press, someone else reads it and has a son or daughter with SCD and wants more information. They go to find the website... Someone else wants to research SCD treatments, they search Google or Yahoo or some other search engine, they find Xechem, they try to get to the website.
Dr. Swift took over 14 months ago, as soon as he did he took down xechem.com and replaced it with 'coming soon'. xechemnigeria.com hasn't been updated since they put on there that he took over and now it's down completely. They have 90 employees in Nigeria, you mean to tell me that there isn't one of them that has the ability to update a website periodically?
I'm sorry MM, but sales/marketing should be #1 on the list and anything that goes along with it. If they had sales, they wouldn't have problems paying bills... No, not having a website isn't going to bring them 1,000s of new customers, but it needs to not show that the account is suspended because they didn't pay the bill.
Not paying bills seems to be a very common problem with Xechem, whether they have money or not, that's my point. I exchanged emails with a consultant of Xechem's over the weekend who's owed money. I asked him the situation and was told that he has supplied a quote for the work he was going to do, it was approved by Dr. Swift, the work was done, the report was submitted and he never got paid. Has he been told why? No, they've ignored his repeated submissions of invoices. If it been paid he would have given them the information they requested on how to increase production in Nigeria dramatically, which is something they said that they could do months ago. The only thing they did to increase production is some tweaks in the evaporation process that reduced the time required from 8 hours to 2 hours. That's substantial, but it didn't change anything in the way they were doing things, just a mechanical adjustment by another supplier they owe a bunch of money to...
