Exactly. There is a strategic opportunity here. Maybe you produce a new line of affordable home-office furniture for people to buy for themselves and have deals which are attractive for companies to buy for staff to work at home. Or you make a thing where the company puts some budget and general rules in and the site lets each staff member choose what office furniture (subject to the rules and budget) suits them or something. Idk I've never given the furniture business much thought. It sure looks more like a CEO/strategy problem than a sales problem though.
So in addition to all those existing chairs, they can sell a whole new set of chairs to almost everyone. Ca-ching!
This is not a business crisis. If they're not making money hand over fist, it is a horrible management mis-step. And the rank and file are paying for it, not management.
