Meanwhile, all the big name brands always have their stuff stocked to the hilt. What keeps my hopes up is that I also see the shelves when our products come in so I know they sell through very fast. The problem is that the speed of the sell through is much faster than they restock. I just have to keep sending that message. Hopefully someone will notice and change that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05340834139819735298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079789370166858944.post-41025165191112010712009-04-24T00:05:00.000-03:002009-04-24T00:05:00.000-03:00I always wondered why Disco would run out of thing...I always wondered why Disco would run out of things so much.

It is as slippery as trying to grab a recently caught fish with your hands from the floor.<br /><br />They are trying to find that magical number that will leave their shelves looking stocked, but not too stocked. In their quest, we all loose. The shoppers loose because they can´t find the product they were looking for; the store looses a sale, and I loose a sale and start gaining a mistrust because the consumers just assume that the manufacturer has a production problem or a delivery problem.<br /><br />In the end, I stand to loose the most.<br /><br />I finally got through to the buyer and it looks like I wore her down. She is tired of my daily bombardment of e-mails, and phone calls and office visits. I got a meeting, and hopefully I can get my life back soon.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments Fritz!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05340834139819735298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079789370166858944.post-41093297717134731022009-04-16T00:34:00.000-03:002009-04-16T00:34:00.000-03:00"Nice" to know that it's not only companies in the..."Nice" to know that it's not only companies in the US that mess things up.
