Big News! Big News!!!

Congratulations to Proton!

Congratulations to Syed Zainal Abidin, the MD of Proton Holding.

The new Proton Persona received more than 500 bookings on the launch. Total sales order since July is now over 2,700 units.

That's a good figure, Proton, and what a delight to shareholders...

But please also tell us whether it has increased Proton market shares or whether those potential purchasers are selling off their Waja and Wira in exchange for the new Persona. Please also indicate how many of the bookings come from the employees of Proton group of companies and taxi companies. I was told the airport taxi-limousine service concessionaire had also placed a substantial order to upgrade its fleet of vehicles because Proton is giving him a good deal.

Would this Persona increase the market share of Proton and translate the results to the bottom-line? Syed Zainal, over to you. Anyway, congratulations to you based on the news.

In Marketing terms, its called canibalising your own product line. It doesn't earn you much additional revenue, but sometimes it helps the bottom line if the new product has better margins.

The Persona launch is for the purpose of sealing the deal with VW lah...

Compared to TOYATA which makes 4 mil of vehicles a year world wide. That translate into 450 car sales per hour. In 6 hours, their worldwide sales equals to Proton's entire orderbook since several weeks ago.

Talk boleh.
