Websoured Executives Fired
Via Threadwatch, Websourced fires 2 executives from the News & Observer covers how the company has fired two senior vice presidents, after writing of $1.4 million in bad debt.
An analysis into the business continues by parent company Think Partnership continues, the article says. The debt was caused by small companies signing up for one year contracts but refusing to pay because they had too much "success" in the first few months, the company says. The clients themselves, however, are also blamed for not having enough "dedication" to achieving "sustainable search marketing results."
Websourced recently lost its vice president of search marketing Andy Beal and had a planned acquisition of Proceed Interactive get called off. This follows after earlier acquisitions of other firms and some prominent search marketing speakers and writers. Threadwatch also has earlier discussion of Websourced problems here, Rumour: Websourced being Raided by Dept of Revenue.
