Sales can be a tricky business, especially when the economy has taken the beating that America’s has for the past three years. When banks can’t lend and credit is restricted, business lines of credit get cut and inventories decline, and besides, who has money to buy right now? It couldn’t be a worse time for sales, you might think. But think again! It’s not so much sales in general as it is what you’re selling, and who the buyer is. If you are selling protective services for housing, for example, your buyer should be someone looking for a reliable home security team.
