Greg Meloon Promoted to Product Manager

[surroundsound64]

Maybe you could start the process yourself with a letter to Mr Meloon with your suggestions. I'd hate to see you waste all your knowledge on this topic with a few paragraphs here.

Well said.

I want to know where skinautique is and what his opinion is on this whole matter. Good, Bad or In deferent the family is going to do what they want, no two ways about it. You know Yergin had nothing to do with this decision.

Boyyyyy I dont know......Still makes you wonder whats going on with the Mellons making these kind of decisions.

I thought Yergin was running the show with the title of Pres/CEO?

Maybe SN know's....Was'nt Greg Mellon directly involved with the design changes that were made to the 07 210?

No Greg was not directly involved with the 210 change. Greg just started working down there in the Fall and that boat has been in the works for longer than that. The wake is huge behind it though!

SN, I am curious what your take is,

Can you give some input? It sounds like many value your oppinion. I am genuinely interested as well.

06210, I agree, however you would think for all best interests, that Yergin would truly run the show as an outsider(not in the family); so as to do the "right thing" not the "way it is" kind of thing.

That is an interesting angle. But I am inclined to think that we won't be able to start doling our promotions based on the 210 redesign, or call the redesign of the 210 a slam dunk quite yet. I assume he was promoted for other meritorious reasons and not because the 210 got a face & butt lift.

Does anybody know for a fact that Yergin didn't have a say in things, it sounds like everyone is assuming that he didn't?? I guess I would rather have the facts and not people assuming things!

Hmm, how to answer this...

Personally when I am considering sources, and whom to take seriously and whom not to, I would tend to trust what 06210rider says about stuff like this. I do believe that he is aware of certian things.

To carry further as Erik suggested in his post. In a meritorious promotion, depending on the reasons and situation with fam members it is very possible Yergin had no control and was told what was happening by the leading Mellon fam. I think that is unfortunate for a PRES/CEO

I think from what I have read in these post, questions not assumptions are being posed about Yergin's possible role or no role in this promotion.

I for one am interested in finding out what the "real deal" is if possible from some of our more informed members.

Does anyone know if Greg has an engineering degree?

That is what I am saying. I just don't like when someone throws things out there that are either hear say or their opinion and then it it is taken for truth. I could say that Yergin personally called Greg to come down there, but do I know for a fact - no, so I am not going to start something that I don't know for a fact. There have been some pretty strong accusations that I am just wondering are they fact or opinion?? I am just saying, lets not throw negativity out there if it is not warranted.

I can appreciate your thoughts...but this forum would very boring without questions, opinions and throwing things out there. :grin:

Personally, I dont think we have gone negative at all on this subject:o

[Osmosis]

I wouldn't call this negativity.

It's a check and balance if anything. We the investors in Correct Craft (anyone who buys their product or is employed by) have the right to question, do we not? Of course Correct Craft doesn't have to listen to their customers, but if the customer determines the success of a company (at least in terms of paying the bills) shouldn't Correct Craft atleast see what all the comotion is about.

This thread is demonstrating a concern, particularly toward some of Correct Craft's latest moves.

1. Is Greg the "Correct" man for the job?
2. Is Manager of Product Design the appropriate job for him?
3. Is this Yergin's choice, or is Yergin considered too incompetent to make that decision.

Now these are simple questions to read yet difficult questions to answer. In fact, they may never be answered, but is it wrong to ask?


Originally when I saw the "Press Release," I thought to myself,
"Oh good, Correct Craft is pushing on! I read it thru and it just didn't convince me. I got the impression that people were "asking questions" so to clear things up another Press Release was issued. The latest little "What!?!" is easily the Stewart ordeal. In this case it appears that MC is out of luck or rather got the shaft, but what is the REAL story and tell us more. Further, how does this story benefit us, the customer, the employee, etc?

-For those of you questioning "Stewart" see the Discussion "I'm confused...is he in a CC or MC??" Interesting

I recently got the chance to chat with Bill Yeargin about Greg’s promotion, and it sounds like he found Greg to be ideal for this position, regardless of his last name. Most of us know that Greg’s family runs MWCC, and Greg has been working with MWCC for years. His knowledge of the product is very strong, and at the same time, he has had the opportunity over the past few years to travel all over the country, finding out what it is that people really want to see Correct Craft build. Those qualities, combined with his business knowledge, makes him one of the most qualified people for this position in my opinion.

Here’s the scoop, as I heard it from Bill Yeargin. He recently convinced Greg to come to Orlando for a short period of time to work on some special projects that needed to be completed at the factory. During that time, he was able to see Greg’s strong work ethic, his drive, and his business skills. Mr. Yeargin said that he was not looking for an engineer to fill this particular position. He was looking for someone with strong ties to the industry, someone who knows what the customer wants, someone with the drive to get things done, and someone with the necessary business skills to make things happen. Greg has those qualities, and was offered the promotion. Who would be better for a position like this? Look at Greg’s qualifications. Look at the opportunities he has been exposed to. He spends a ton of time with people who use Correct Craft’s products, pros and non-pros. He knows what is working and what isn’t. Let’s see what Correct Craft produces over the next few years. Greg might be just the person they need down in Orlando.

At any rate, Bill Yeargin was the one who made the choice to offer this promotion to Greg. In fact, it sounds like this decision was kind of tough on the Meloons in Indiana. Remember, Greg was a big part of MWCC. I don’t claim to be an expert on how decisions are made at Correct Craft, but I have gotten to spend some time with some of the people who work there, and I believe Bill Yeargin to be a straight shooter, and to be perfectly capable of making decisions as to who gets promoted.

NautiqueJeff,

It is refreshing to hear that. I am excited to see what the future has in stock for all of us.

[Separator]

Well, Sounds like a positive start. I hope this works out for Greg. He will have alot on his shoulders and really has his work cut out for him.

Now CC needs to get qualified person(s) in the marketing & sales department...That area (s) is in really sad shape in my opinion.

BU and MC reeeeaaaaally kick CC's butt in those areas.

Not that I care as to what the answers to these questions are, but they are ridiculous, especially #3. I can't understand why some of you are so into what's going on up in the offices.
