Long time no post. But, I am back.
Around Nov 15, 2008 the recessions reared its ugly head at Wolfgang. How did we know? The phone stopped ringing.
How did we react? Well, at first we panicked, bleed red ink, made excuses and navel gazed. Then, I am happy to say, we picked ourselves up off the mat, increased our marketing effort four fold and made some tough strategic and personnel decisions. Believe it or not, despite the recession, we now have a shot at 10% growth for 2009.
This is Wolfgang’s first recession and we are learning how to adapt on a daily basis. One thing for sure, the sky is not falling and business will continue.
Wolfgang has some hard work ahead to lock in a successful year and there is no doubting that the market has changed. But, if we hold true to our values - accountability, teamwork and open to learning -, we have great shot at success.
