Fun and revelry in 2008 Shanghai
This years International Sales Conference will be held in Singapore from 21st - 24th March. This is a watershed year for the Germany principal Weiss Technik which my company represents. There will be a number of old faces missing from the line up at Weiss. The Managing Director Mr. Karl Heinz Hehl has stepped down and retired after serving for over 40 years in the company. This is indeed a rarity in these days of CEOs lasting about 5 years on average and bottom line profit making being the one and only consideration. Also gone is my long time friend and mentor, Frank Rigley, who was the Asia Pacific Sales Manager from the early 90s till 2010. He has totally left the scene, in retirement mode now.
The new management at Weiss will be headed by a Mr. Niedermeier who is the Managing Director for Sales and the existing export sales department is headed by Mr. Dieter Haus. In 4 short days we will be experiencing and understanding what are the new philosophies and expectations of the new management.
2008 Sales Conference in Shanghai
Things are expected to be moving at a much higher pace and one can expect that there will be some major changes in the organisation as well as its representatives. So, while people are on the edge as to what to expect, it is good to come prepared for the unexpected. We live in challenging and dangerous times.
