Well, as a Business to Business Salesperson, I am looking forward to the second quarter of 2010. The first three months have been a challenge, but I truly believe we have turned the corner.
The business people that I deal with have shown that they certainly weren't ready to make any changes in their business. I really feel that the Health care debate held everyone hostage, companies were waiting to see what would happen and therefore, didn't want to make any changes. While everyone may not be happy with the way things turned out, they now know what the future holds, and they'll be able to figure things out.
Living on the West Coast, we are also seeing better weather, and I truly believe that this makes people's outlooks better. The sun is shining, things are getting greener, and life is better. This isn't a huge factor, but I really think, that it helps.
The Markets are moving up, and this is also making business people feel better about the future, Their investments are up, and people's 401K's are expanding, this will improve retail sales,look at the current numbers.
I guess what I'm trying to say, is that as Salespeople, we have to look at the good, and be preachers of the gospel of "getting better." It's always kind of fun to be part of complaining, but our customers are looking for positives to build their business, and we have to help provide it. Let's all look for the positive.
