    Hi everyone I am RobynGilcristthe new CEO of Yellowtail Marine. First Id like to offer my deepest condolences to all that had theopportunityof working and knowing Mr. OlafGunnerson. As of today I will be inheritinghisposition andlookforward toworking withyou all. I know there may be some challenges but if weworktogetheras one team I know we canmake this company greater.I also come from the water sports industry previously working atSportscraftfor several years. During my time there I successfully increased sales by 70% within two years. I am confident that I can bring positive changes to thiscompanyas well.Below are some of my short and long term goals:
    Short-term goals:
    On April 12 we will have OSHA inspectors visiting our location to ensure that our work environment meets safety regulations. It is imperative to take extra caution to be careful and safe while working. Please keep your safety equipment on at all times and protect yourselves from any hazards that may cause harm.
    The current problem with both foam injection units needs to be resolved before the OSHA visit.Please make anynecessary arrangements to have this fixed as soon as possible to resume production.
    Long-term goals:
    A strategic marketing and sales plan needs to be developed to boost sales as there has been a drop within the past few years. Doing so will enable the company to compete and perform better in the market.
    To expand the business line withSagittariusInflatable BoatsInc. which has already shown much interest in the market. Acquiring this will provide more opportunity for growth in the long run.
    Again I look forward tojoining this team andworking with all of you.Please feel free to contact me at any time if there are any questions issues or concerns.
    New policy on employee discount
    In one month the new employee discount policy will take effect. The old hierarchical structure will be removed and every employee will be given the same discount which will now depend on the type of goods purchased. A 10 percent discount will apply to low margin goods. A 15 percent discount will apply to items such as sporting goods china and furnishings. Finally a 20 percent discount would be given to clothing cosmetics jewelry and other similar merchandise.
    I believe this new system will be much simpler efficient and effective. Everyone in the company will have their fair share of discount received increasing involvement in the type of merchandise to be purchased. In addition low-profit-margin goods will now be sold at realistic prices and high-profit-margin ones would sell faster.
    Our company currently has the image of catering to the older clientele. It would serve our interests to target the younger generation as well. By implementing this change in policy we willattract a younger salesforce which will then attract younger customers.
    Though our company is already performing well it is anticipated that this new discount policy will promote efficiency improve the turnover of goods and generate greater profitability.
