Everything you just said typifies a business that is mismanaged. You can blame it on the economy if you want, but the truth of the matter is Trillacorpe senior managers lack proper business planning skills. That is why their business failed. I mean, how in the world do you allow your VA Certification to lapse?
If EEDG does merge/acquire Trillacorpe...they should clean house and get rid of Trillacorpe legacy management. JMO
