If you're so busy this time of year from the holiday purchases and repair issues, how about delaying your 3 week inventory that adds to your issue of responding to customer and answering the phone?
Chris-
It may not be as easy as doing the inventory at a different time of year. Like most of us, Bachmann almost certainly has a fiscal year
which corresponds to the calendar year. That means that inventory time is right around January first. Could this be changed? Sure.
But changing someone's or a company's tax year is a very complicated endeavor. I'm not surprised that Bachmann has not chosen
to do this, given the hassle involved. Think about it for a moment. The people at Bachmann aren't idiots. They know when they are
busiest and when inventory comes around. Don't you think they have already considered a change and rejected the idea?
