Comment on Where are the sellers? by Mark

I’m a seller!
Our client is a privately held decorative accessory manufacturer and distributor, one that presently finds itself in a unique situation. The decorative marketplace has been turned upside down by the recent economy and many of the weaker players did not survive. Our client’s competitive advantage in this climate is that they are smaller and nimble as well as being green via its eco-friendly product.

We are looking to speak with individuals who have extensive sales and strategy experience in the home décor, import and/or retail industries. You will be challenged to revive sales to levels which were recently over $1M and assume leadership and ownership in the organization in time. The facility in its current state can run at a capacity of $3M. This is truly an opportunity to invest sweat equity in a company as you help craft its organic growth.

The company is located in the upper Midwest but does business globally. They really need an innovative businessperson who loves wearing their sales hat. There are many sales channels this company has yet to tap into – large retail accounts, internet sales, B2B distributor sales, etc… That is your job, to build the revenue of the company and assume ownership. The company has a healthy line of credit, owes no debt on equipment, leases or to vendors – it’s a healthy cash flow business. You may be required to commit capital to an entrepreneurial venture of this nature.

For immediate consideration, please contact Mark Gragg, Director of Recruitment of the Greenman Alliance. Mark can be reached at 214.385.4115 or by email at mark@greenmanalliance.com.

Comment on Employee Ownership Helps Drive Success in the Green Industry by Alex Moss

Don’t forget Lewis Tree Service, in Rochester NY. And ACRT was also an ESOP, though I’m not sure of their current status. And then there are all the ESOPs in related industries that are not landscaping per se. Example: Recology (the just-renamed Norcal Waste Systems), the San Francisco waste hauling and recycling firm. And many many many other types, e.g. environmental consulting etc. etc. Big picture: I agree that it’s certainly a big ol’ green ESOP world out there.

Comment on Scott’s is Shopping Smith & Hawken by Jack Greene

Jack Greene — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 05:46:35 +0000

Scotts has totally mis-managed Smith & Hawken. Scotts has made every mistake it could possibly have made in managing S&H. What a shame to destroy such a good company.
From handing over the S&H wholesale business to Scott’s fertilizer sales reps, who understood nothing about selling S&H high-end products, to doing a terrible job of managing S&H retail and catalog businesses, Scott’s has managed to destroy a money-making company.
Wish Paul Hawken had it back.
