afhl goodbye and good riddance, page-3

Hi Pesa,

I agree, good riddance!!!. I think Mr Rivero might have been one of the 'Dodgy brothers" .I think the company was left no alternative from the point of view that they were becoming a 'laughing stock' no pun intended...ahahaha.

I think that if there is one fatal flaw in this company it is not that they dont have technical expertise, but what they lack is a bloody good sales department.

What other company can you think of that has a product to sell yet still remains in business without serious sales to sustain it. Thats a pretty dam good Houdini act. They only way that has been possible is surely by bleeding the investors and shareholders dry by being good at selling the sizzle while we are left holding the sausage.

Excuse me for being ignorant but why do they develop a weapon then try to market that. Why not speak to prospective customers and find out what type of weapons they want then make them to order and have a guaranteed sale subject to minor ammendments and modifications.

Its like putting the cart before the horse (wrong way around). Have they been been that carried away by their technological innovation that they have lost sight of what they need to do and that is make sales.

Seriously they need to pull finger get a good sales team together. How do other arms companies generate business??? i would like to know because I admitt I dont have a clue.

I also agree with Moosey and others about needing to be better informed eg; Police conference scenario. To be fair they have been otherwise occupied of late and I wouldn't welcome the stress that they have been going through.
In saying that we have all been through the rumour mill and suffered our own forms of stress through this whole drawn out saga.

I am also surprised that the SP has held so well after all of this and still holding, and even regaining so lost ground.

After what has happened you gain strength and confidence because some of the worst stuff has been throw at us and it didn't stick but we did!. We are coming out the other side of a dark tunnel,(male tunnel vision is the skill required here and I suspect most of you have that in abundance).

I am beginning to ramble so I wish everyone well for the future with this company and look forward as always to your interesting posts.

i acted a bit out of character recently in one of my posts in replying to Vidiot.
Sorry vidiot I was way too harsh.

Time to sit back and chill with a nice Red,
