When evaluating a company that's trying to turn itself around with new management
(or just starting up)One of the first things you do is ask who's NOW mining the store? Or, in other words, what do the new people running the company bring to the table.With management in the world of business, past performance and success is a good barometer of future success
As your post notes...
"The company's got some good basics to work with and they've added more. Gordon's a good visionary, Guild's got hands on experience with call centers, Piercy brought the card, Hwang's bringing website expertise, and the limited marketing department, Rich, can bring in the contracts. So the foundation is in, now the framing begins...get to work TSIG"
The management has an incredible past record. If people were as familiar with the name Cohesive as they should be, TSIG wouldn't be a penny stock.

After re-reading the recent news about Cohesive..I felt the need to bold face the entire article.
This recent news especially in conjunction with the Babe Ruth development is just amazing for a company whose current share value is only somewhere between .35 and .40 cents.
