Illegally Legal

Who is this I.T. Company (ITC) who is in hot water with authorities? Reports indicated that this ITC bought in products from other countries, and did not pay the corresponding taxes.

Worst, the principals of these products are allegedly aware of this ITCs illegal activities but decided to take a hands-off attitude since this ITC is buying their products anyway.

Now the burden of proof is with this ITC and its principals. This ITC and the principals should now present proofs that the correct taxes were paid. If not, both ITC and principals will be facing charges.

I am sure the companies can pay their taxes and penalties if any. What you guys can’t fix is your reputation and integrity. Your companies adheres to legal business right? And yet, you’re its biggest violators. How can you say one thing and do another thing?

Obviously, you didn’t cover your tracks carefully that is why the authorities are investigating your operations and that is why your secret is a secret no more.

Bragging Rights

Who is this I.T. Company (ITC) who loves to brag? This ITC claims that their company is the one responsible or is the company behind most of the services of one multi-national company. In a recent gathering, this ITC enumerated the services of this multi-national company and claimed that there company made everything possible.

After the gathering, another executive from another company arrived to sign a partnership agreement with this ITC. The partnership is about this company empowering this ITC to power the services of this multi-national company.

In other words, this ITC hired the services of another company to create the services of this multi-national company.

My question to this ITC is this – why don’t you just announce that your company is in partnership with another company rather than claiming all the laurels. And don’t you think there is an Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDS) somewhere between you and your client?

This ITC forgot (it seems) to brief its partner company about what to say during the gathering that is why their secret is a secret no more.

Promises Promises

Who is this I.T. Company (ITC) who is in hot water now? This ITC promised its customers that if they (customers) will be able to hit a certain sales target, they will be getting some rewards or volume discounts.

Customers tried their best to meet their targets to be able to avail of the promo, some met them, some don’t. To those customers who were able to meet their targets, their smiles turned to disappointments in just a snap of a finger.

This ITC announced that they will not be able to execute their programs as promised as the company made some adjustments – specially in the area of their budget. The customers are up and arms and they vowed never to fall prey to such programs again.

To this ITC, you don’t change the rules at the middle of the game. Your distributors are the lifeblood of your business.

Your customers were so disappointed by your decision that is why your secret is a secret no more.
