Larson note: Last week was interesting. Wells Fargo makes a nice little $3 Billion profit, stocks surge over 200 points, yet unemployment remains week with over 8% which is really 15% when you consider those people that have taken themselves out of the job market or just stopped looking or never were able to claim unemployment like all those 1099 workers who were independent mortgage brokers or the ranks of consultants and outsourced services. Keep in mind that the stock market is looking 4 to 6 months ahead as a predictor so August – October. I still stand pat on my June/July but you need to be ready getting your company ready to grow. Putting in place all the growth tools you will need.
As for this week take is as it comes. Flat sales and flat prices and even unemployment. Keep your head on and your eyes focused on your goals.
We are still looking for that elusive sales representive for the Central States. Chicago based would be best but not necessary. How much is a sales person worth to your company? To my company 1 good salesperson is worth another 15 jobs give or take. Now that my friends is the real engine of economic recovery, people making money to spend on goods and services for their and their families betterment as they choose
Larson & Associates March's sales figures were up 68.6% over March of 2008. April looks a little shaky but that is explainable due to two huge specialty projects that happened last year, but then it is only April 13.
Our focused industries we are looking to add clients in for the month of April are Advertising Specialties, Trade Show Booth Builder, Sign Shop, and an Art Studio. Special bird dog rates apply in these industries
