You know, I have to agree with you on the idiotic marketing. I have honestly thought of contacting them and applying for a sales job. They sure seem to need sales reps! Why they do not do some of the cool things that C/N does with the workshops, I will never know. There isn't even an Oly dealer within 200 miles of me and I don't live in the boonies. I went to one store in Nashville, that was an authorized dealer and they almost spit while talking about Oly and obviously, had no idea about the system, AT ALL.
That to me is Oly's fault. Where is their sales reps?? Why aren't they visiting these stores and *selling* the system
I don't think the end is in sight for 4/3ths though. Sales are fairly robust and profits are up. (I will find the article) Hopefully they will get a clue as I obviously have a vested interest in their success.
