Re: Backlog etc.

2002-06-08 by paulhaneberg

As a reasonably successful businessman (4 going at the present time) 
I think I know opportunity when I see it.  The onus is on Paul.  
Considering the backlog and the interest expressed by some MOTMers 
in assembling modules for others, Paul will have to decide to either 
do something about the backlog himself or sit back and let someone 
else take care of it.  Someone certainly will if the opportunity to 
make money is there whether sanctioned by Paul or not.  This does 
raise the question of whether someone assembling the kits could get 
the kits themselves fast enough to make up the backlog.  I've built 
all my own modules, 53 since November, but I'm still waiting for 2 
300s, 2 800s, 1 700 on order since November.  I can't complain too 
much because I still have backlog myself and Paul knows this.  Still 
if Paul could assemble a team to kit and build the modules under his 
supervision, he could concentrate more on design, come up with 15 or 
20 new modules per year (hah!) and grow his business exponentially.  
But employees cost money, far more than just their hourly wage.  I'm 
sure Paul has spent more time contemplating how to grow his business 
than anyone realizes.  Of course if MOTM gets big enough Behringer 
will reverse engineer it and have a whole line of modules built in 
China.
