Industrial Revolution

I bought a business on April 1, 2005. I'll update the blog a few times a week to share some of my experiences.

oops

I had a great conversation with one of our European distributors this morning. He loves our candle lanterns and the ultrapods we distribute. He said he rarely talks to our company because we always ship the right stuff at the right time. He was very complimentary. However, he had taken a look at the ice cream maker and it just wasn't the right product for his market. We Americans have more of a sweet tooth. Rock salt is hard to find in Europe. So, forget it. One more note: this distributor is our sole outlet in this particular country.

Not three hours later I received an email from a potential customer in the same country. "We're interested in the ice cream maker. We want thousands. Please contact us so we can figure this out!"

Funny!
