Thanks!
I'm IT but I assist Planning and Production Control. Our "sales team" is my boss and one other guy who's not really effective. They get paid commissions on their accounts. They do nothing to go out and get new accounts. There's a lot of low hanging fruit because nobody knows our name, yet if you do a side by side between us and most competitors we have the same capabilities with half the overhead. That's where the automation they've invested in really helps out. But when our regular customers aren't enough to fill the machines up with work I feel we have a duty to go out and fill them up with new work. My boss disagrees. I want to bring in my own contracts and grow the company that way.
