The Week Ahead for May 4 – May 8, 2009

Monday: March construction spending
Tuesday: April institute for Supple Management services index
Wednesday:
Thursday: Weekly initial jobless claims, 1st quarter productivity, March consumer credit
Friday: April employment report, March wholesale inventories

Larson note: More ups and does for the reports but we are going to see more ups than downs. When you look at the productivity numbers, keep in mind that inventory reduction is an excellent way for companies to reduce costs. Idle inventory is a cost. Don’t believe me just ask GM) and with overall inventories down it can mean only one thing, time to get those machines and people back to work. Now I ask you, have you positioned yourself to get your (more than) fair share? The big start is in my opinion not going to happen until June but start pumping up your sales force, get your marketing plan out of mothballs and get it updated if you haven’t already.

I took my own advice and, finally after a 3 month search took on a sales manager for the Heartland States of America. Mr. Rogier Chapon of Wichita Kansas, a Six Sigma black belt. You can contact him at rogier@larsonassociates.ws or call him at 316-773-5719 By June he will be starting to hammer home in our summer expansion, as we put even more people to work.
