Business Outlook
Pros
Our yellow pages have been the best in the business for well over 50 years and have made lots of money for our customers. Our new internet yellowpages.com is producing decently for our small business customers and has potential. Our union makes sure that our individual managers in Sacramento cannot abuse us as much as they'd like to.
Cons
In the internet age, marketing is changing as customers convert to internet advertising. Our management is not smart enough to figure out how to adapt to the changing market, and they blame their own failure on the sales reps that report to them. More than half of our middle managers have no college degree and have never studied pyschology, marketing or management.
