It sounds like you work for a rather large company if it would take $100m to be as competitive as this company, yet at that valuation, it doesn't make sense that they're trying not to grow bigger then what they are, because they'd be easily wiped out if any of their large customers went to a competitor. Also, where do you exactly fit in this picture? Since you believe they can gather more business by focusing on Sales, is that where you are positioned in the company / part of your job responsibilities or is it just your gut feeling that they can be so much more? Either way, best of luck in your conversations with your boss.
- zelon88 7y agoThanks! I'm IT but I assist Planning and Production Control. Our "sales team" is my boss and one other guy who's not really effective. They get paid commissions on their accounts. They do nothing to go out and get new accounts. There's a lot of low hanging fruit because nobody knows our name, yet if you do a side by side between us and most competitors we have the same capabilities with half the overhead. That's where the automation they've invested in really helps out. But when our regular customers aren't enough to fill the machines up with work I feel we have a duty to go out and fill them up with new work. My boss disagrees. I want to bring in my own contracts and grow the company that way.
