CEO statement
As the new CEO of TargetEveryone I will welcome all existing and potential
shareholders to a company back on the offensive. After a challenging time, I am
now entering a company with a great opportunity to be a real player in an
accelerating market. I am both exited and inpatient to use my experience to sign
and onboard new customers to our amazing solution SpectrumOne. I have been
working with sales for many years and strongly believe that we will succeed in
the market going forward. After several cost cuts, we now have a team that is
dedicated with clear responsibilities, as we have kept only the people and
partners that are vital to our success. This also makes the path to positive
cash flow much shorter. I am looking forward to this fall and a fresh start for
TargetEveryone!
A great opportunity
I joined TargetEveryone for two reasons - the team and SpectrumOne.
TargetEveryone has been through a very tough process with a lot of cost cuts,
restructuring of operations, and termination of loss-making activities with no
prospects. The outcome of this process is a much leaner company with only
dedicated people left that truly contribute with value-generation to our core
business. After evaluating this team, I find this as a key strength that I
really believe will secure success going forward.
As a long-term shareholder I have heard much about SpectrumOne, and I admit that
I have been disappointed of all the postponements. Thus, it was critical for me,
that SpectrumOne was a ready and sustainable product with real opportunity,
before I decided to join TargetEveryone. After assessing this carefully, I am
now certain that this represent a material and tangible opportunity for us.
Coming out of the restructuring phase, I now see a company back on the
offensive. I see a company with a highly skilled team and an amazing product in
a high-growth market. All in all, a great opportunity for me, the TEO team, our
customers and our shareholders.
Full market attention
In addition to the restructuring process, the biggest challenge to
TargetEveryone has been to accelerate the signing of new SpectrumOne customers.
The product is new to the market, hence we must find the most efficient way to
convince the customers of its excellence. This is TargetEveryone´s ultimate goal
going forward.
Both my professional passion and experience is sales and business development.
After evaluating the situation, I strongly believe that we quickly can change
this. Accordingly, I will put full attention into the sales and go-to market
strategy. Considering our short presence in the market, we have managed to build
up an impressing pipeline, and I feel sure that we will quickly capitalize on
this one, if we approach the customers in the right manner.
I am also happy to see proof of concept through both Nordic and International
customers. We have got very satisfying customer testimonial, where Agria
Försäkring has had great commercial success with our system so far.
Further cost cuts
TargetEveryone had built up a lot more costs and obligations than the company
could carry. Over the last year, this situation has been dramatically changed,
and we communicated a 30 % cost cut by the end of spring. By Q2, we have
continued this process which now represent an accumulated cost reduction of
approximately 45 % compare to the ordinary fixed cost level by the end of last
year.
This will gradually take effect during the Fall. The last cost cuts have been
downsizing of personnel as a result of the removal of some remaining non-core
activities that we were committed to. These cuts will have a positive cash flow
effect since these activities generated less revenue than costs. Consequently,
our burn-rate is significantly lower and our need for new customers are
correspondingly reduced to reach positive cash flow. It is TargetEveryone´s
fundamental financial goal to reach positive cash flow as fast as possible and
the combination of high income potential and low costs makes this goal closer
than ever.
Transparency
I believe in an open dialogue and transparent information. I am looking forward
to communicate both with customers, partners and investors, and it is my goal to
increase the frequency and transparency both through vlogs, newsletters,
meetings and presentations. We will be clear about our market goals, and it is
my and TargetEveryone´s obligation to keep these promises.
