Not greg b Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 So how many power point slides were used in this presentation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Yeah, I commented on this in the other thread but she is just awful. Absolutely horrific. No doubt the relative of a senior member of Textron. She has to be the most uninspiring person to ever shill for a motorsports brand and a terrible public speaker to boot.

Ziemann Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Hay Days reaffirmed my choice to order a new Polaris. I can't tell you how many times I've second guessed that decision, but there's no excitement or inspiration left in the Cat camp...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy shit... it's even worse than I imagined. I lasted 5 minutes. At the 2 minute and 25 second mark I kid you not i had a mouth full of coffee that partially came out thru my nose. One of the best comedies I have watched in a while, well at least for 5 minutes I could bare.

Cwhite138 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Oh yea feel the passion. Depressing eh? I've done presentations in front of 300 people when I first started at the company I'm at and it was shitty...so I get it.. I also don't make the Quid she does Edited September 15, 2021 by Cwhite138 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFM Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 That was like a Joe Biden rally. No one there, and some person supposedly ‘in charge’ on stage rambling about nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bontz Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I gave it 6 minutes, and had to turn it off. Thankfully she isn't the one who's designing and building sleds, but good God - learn your product and stop reading from an iPad!! If she's the one who ultimately approves projects and funding, I'm sorry guys ... the future looks pretty bleak for Team Arctic. Hopefully she's just another corporate merry-go-round type, and will be moving on soon & they can find someone who's actually passionate about the Cat brand. She clearly ISN'T!!!

Cat’s best bet is to shuttle her out of there ASAP. I’m guessing what they are reading about on social media after her woeful performance and wondering themselves…..or not.

Zambroski Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Also, I especially liked the little part where she bragged on the “blast” models and admitted that’s what she’ll be on this year. No doubt, a first time sledder. And I’d bet she won’t put on 20 miles. The best bet is for her to not make any changes at all at this point. Just keep pumping out the PC.

Seeing as though she now lives in TRF ... the best thing they could do is have a good snow season and MAKE HER RIDE. If she hates it, it should be apparent and then force her to GTFO. If she really enjoys it (never know, it could happen!) there's some hope ... even if it's very small hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted September 15, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted September 15, 2021 How can they have someone who doesn’t even know the product out there promoting it 😂 I mean reading the stats off a iPad embarrassing. I was watching vice grip lodge last night and he was at the swisher mower factory. They had a lady going over all the equipment she was very knowledgeable and excited about the product made me want to go out and buy one. That’s the kinda people they need up on stage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said this back when everyone was excited “cat is doing things again this spring. Her background is areospace engineering and she came from a company Textron bought. She will work at cat until whatever person they need to replace leaves or the project starts they want her for in the aerospace side. I give it 18 months and they stick someone else in there. This is what Textron does with these side line companies. I wouldn’t doubt that cat is for sale right now. They have it set up for sale to make a buck like they do when they buy companies like cat. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I have shared many good laughs over this entire debacle of Textron 'saving' Arctic Cat which is a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
