Good riddance!! Another twit who contributed nothing. More money saved, for PE is doing all the sales.

Baron: who is this guy and what was his function with the company?

[BaronBuffett]

SVP - Senior VP, Sales Useless hire. Sold nothing, but can't blame him, I guess.................. Cronin had nothing for him to sell. But still. Who was it that said it wasn't the CEO's function to make sales? /imo

Baron: I remembered that discussion and some bullboard intellect defined that a CEO doesn't do cold calls. Well, PE is proving him wrong. Have you seen the way PE dresses? No Armani suits, just a regular blue collar, cold call making CEO with a strong desire to succeed. Nuff respek PE.

I remember that convo too with this poster asking me if I've ever worked for a corporate entity before or some stoopid chit. Pfffft. I think it was that azzhat dontfollow.

I'm very curious to see if Melton jumped ship or was asked to leave. Based on what I've seen, it is  a lateral move at best. Alert Labs is based in TO and only has 9 employees. They aren't a publicly traded company, so the potential for big bucks is not there for him.. Alert Labs did do 2.9 million in sales last year, but they are a B to C company with a much cheaper product

Around 50 employes according to linkedin.

There was a lot of dead weight in the company. Probably still are. Collected fat paycheques just to sip coffee.  /imo

We should not care about this at all. Melton was hired during Cronin days... to do what from Toronto? I'm not sure.   Remember that Cronin (“turtle”) said that direct sales & installs were not his thing… he preferred resellers… how did that turn out? So new guy PE/CEO comes in and says WTF, I could sell more than all of these guys put together in my spare time… especially in the US
