But as I ’ ve aged , short term profits have been replaced with longer term goals , of add-on sales , different profit centers , tweaks that earn me a $ 1-10 per customer for years into the future , and those that come from the great class sessions , morning round tables and networking with others that want to increase their bottom end . There was an assortment of classes : Laser Tag , Airsoft , Haunts and Zombie Shoots , Managing Customer Expectations from the Keynote speaker Arnold Sanos , Compressors , dealing with negative reviews , Insurance , Hosting events , Youth summer camps , Building Groups Events and Alternate sources of revenue .
Ninja came with everything , and we know what supply chain issues are out there , how did you get here with everything ?
“ We are a made in the USA manufacturer instead of ordering 10,000 units of tanks we get away with ordering a 1,000 periodically so these staggered in . So instead of I ’ m out of s stock and then ordering and I ’ m waiting
6 months , so Ninja might typically have wait times for the 4-6 weeks or less … one good example is a tank o-ring , they were none in the country at one point . And that ’ s a standard o-ring across many industries . We couldn ’ t find any , or like a 100 here or a 1,000 there . We stepped up and found a o-ring guy who can manufacturer and said ‘ what will it take ?’ He said ‘ half a million ’, we said here ’ s your PO . He said you will have in 4 weeks a quarter million . Not a lot in value dollar but think about that quarter million tank o-rings and has to come in because I can ’ t ship a reg without an o-ring . We stepped up and overstocked way above what we normally would because that sales that inventory cycle is different so when I need to overshop like that .” Ray Trimble – Ninja Paintball , www . ninjapaintball . com /.
