Halcyon and EE can't keep enough staff behind the counter and on the phone. Easily 300% increase in sales over last physical year...is this growth sustainable..no..but already has reached a level that guarantees the EE/Halcyon lineage. Robert Carmichael is no idiot (CEO Brownies and owner Halcyon) he silenced many nasayers taking over a 'dead business' with Brownie's Third Lung and visualizing what Halcyon is today. JJ and Robert's most difficult task may be as you describe it........getting into the hearts and minds of recreational divers.....although everytime I show up in cozumel or Grand Cayman the divers all have all kinds of questions culminating in 'where can I get one of those'. JJ's formula:
Good Divers out Diving= Residual Sales and Referrals
Inexpensive and hard to beat....
Interesting how all the DM's want to know if they can buy my canister light or my back plate and wings......
