I thought all our strategic plans and moves were put in place to help drive the stock price up. So, why is it so far down?

$144 today. Hoping it jumps up by $80 a share today!
@ep ?would you like SLIDES with that or just the happy meal
@eh I think you've hit on a new sales idea, lets sell our ppt slides that say strategy (no details - that will cost more) and reduce our dir, vp & svp's by 10% for every one sold! we'll make BILLIONS BILLIONS and stock will be up and no more rif's
If only Wall Street knew how great our PowerPoint slides are. Then our stock would be through the roof. Nothing says "Strategy" like building meaningless PowerPoints over and over.
just a thought here - maybe the shareholders and customers haven't seen the glorious strategy plan yet or maybe they have and think it's not relevant and makes not a bit of difference due to our large base of d-mby execs that have no idea how to run this business. Do you think that proclaiming "STRATEGY STRATEGY WE HAZZ A STRATEGY NOW" is all it takes? WTH did we have before - nothing? and now we do have a plan? Who the heck is going to execute these magical plans....oh wait - our esteemed senior mgt team. then the stock price will jump to record highs with just the mention of STRATEGY
@a1 By changing Executive Leadership, acquiring/merging and not botching it like we did with Sirius, Amplified, and nearly every other company we have picked up over the last few years, and by confusing the he-l out of wall Street by purporting that our "new" services represent a much greater revenue opportunity. But instead, we will continue to react and try to slash our way out of this through layoffs. Never works.
People complain on here when there are no decisions and people complain when there are decisions. Pathetic, sad people.
@b0 Back to your cube! Leave the business decisions to the adults.
@b0 you’re an id--t. In the Fortune 50, all major modern platform companies (Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta, Dell, Comcast, Walmart) already combine demand generation + sales activation under a single commercial leader — titles vary (CRO, CGO, CCO) but the model is unified commercial head, not siloed CMO + sales head. Love, Chat GPT.
@az A $24B company combined sales and marketing? That’s insane.
Maybe the marketing leadership needed to follow the failed growth leader out the door.
Agreed. Moving Marketing and Sales together makes sense.
Having RevOps makes sense.
Having Verticals (and Horizontals) setup in sales and actually adhering to them makes sense.
Lots of good decisions here. We just now need great execution.
Personally I think these new changes are needed and fix lots of things. Streamlined go to market that is actually explainable. PPM merged with solutions. Marketing merged with sales. Rev ops, which are called common sense pipeline management in other companies. New systems that finally work. Getting rid of dead weight. Firing SC who was in over her head and wasting money left and right. Putting strategy team in with GTM teams. Now, just need to overhaul DV in its current state and all of the red tape in secondary processes, and push everyone to use AI religiously. I think in 2 quarters these changes will be making noticeable impact, and in 4 quarters the ship is fully turned and cruising north east.
so here's an idea, we could start by actually selling at better margins, selling to customers more than a 1x buy, saying no to outrageous customer demands and maybe even walking away from bad deals. maybe we could stop micromanaging sales teams by the account team overlords and get rid of the middle managers who do absolutely nothing but babysit And lets clean house - really ---we all know who should go ---except the board, they don't seem to have a clue or the sense to do their job
How do we get back to $200+ a share?
