Red Ink vs. Green Light

GENERAL WATCH NEWS
Imagine millions of autos across America with Red Tags in the windows. Now imagine those vehicles covered with snow and ice to the point that no one can read them anyway. Now imagine who has the printing contract with GM for all the utterly useless banners and tags? How about money wasted in shipping? How about the millions wasted on idiotic commercials?

I could go on but this gives you and idea of how ineffective marketing is killing GM. Return to Greatness would immediately save money and increase sales. That is how profit is made.

All we need is for Mr Wagoner to pick up the phone and tell Mr LaNeve to implement The Plan immediately. Hate to sound simplistic, but fixing GM would really be that easy.

You do know we don't run GM, right?

Re: Red Ink vs. Green Light

Do you continue spreading your propaganda here because this is the one place that you can't sell it,and being a car salesman, that infuriates you?

In response to #2 from WERM
Yes, however,
Your enthusiasm is inspirational
Your knowledge is insightful.
Your criticism is harsh, but helpful.
Your doubts fuel my motivation.
Your suggestions are worthwhile.
Your hopes for a renewed GM are shared.

You're wasting your time

You're wasting your time

Is this news, or worthless rambling? You can come post quartly losses, or bad sales numbers when they happen... Hell, maybe we can all agree that if Wags ever does get the ax, we will all hold off on posting it in here until you have a chance to start a thread, and we will let you be the first to post it... But damn, your threads bug the crap out of me. They never have any purpose other than to tell us how great you think your plan is, and how GM is doomed with out it.

How about the $8 an hour you're paying your lot attendant to keep the snow off the cars so people can see the tags?

Just stubborn, still claiming there's nothing to lose and everything to gain.

People thought Columbus was nuts, look what happened. No guts, no glory.

Re: Red Ink vs. Green Light

Columbus was nuts, and made a HUGE mistake. He thought he was in India (thats why the people that were here are now Indians) So maybe there is a connection there.

Re: Red Ink vs. Green Light

Sorry Jim, but enough is enough. This site is intended to enhance our hobby and our enthusiasm for it. While there are undeniable truths out there which we don't attempt to conceal, you present them in a extremely biased and destructive manner wrapped in a sales pitch. This clearly infuriates people, causes arguments and is not welcome here.

It appears that you don't want GM to be fixed, you just want to prove yourself right which implies a personal agenda. That is not in the scope of this site's operation and this is not that kind of web site. You have your own site for that.

I am respectfully asking you to no longer post on this message board. I am giving you the courtesy of not forcing you to stop.

Regardless if you disagree with this decision, this site will no longer be utilized for your personal benefit or to rain on people's parade.
