As you know, we adopted various measures three years ago with the aim of boosting sales. We managed to increase output and cut costs by introducing new machines. We also cut our profit margins still further. But even though we were able to lower prices as a result, I' m afraid we still didn' t meet targets. The demand for this particular commodity just isn' t there any more, so we should stop production as soon as current contracts expire. I think your analysis of the situation is correct. The product is already doing very well, but demand hasn' t peaked yet, by any means. And if we want to take full advantage of a boom, we' ve got to step up our promotion and have mechanisms in place to increase manufacturing capacity if necessary. And that means we' ll need additional funding before long. So, let' s start approaching people who' ve expressed an interest in us in the past. Two or three years ago there were ten, or even 20, applicants for every job we advertised, but things have changed. Unemployment in general is right down and everyone' s competing for workers now, especially skilled labour. If we want to get good people, and retain them, we' ll have to offer a better package. I' m not suggesting we put wages up yet. I think we ought to try other things first, like oneoff welcome payments, relocation allowances, and, possibly, loyalty bonuses. |
