No, my business is up 45% over last year. I am in the HVAC/DDC/Automation/Energy Management sector....we do a lot of things, but basically we control commerical and industrial buildings' HVAC equipment and manage energy savings through our sequences.
So you are in a maintenance industry. A recession proof industry. Good times or bad, systems in commercial and industrial properties need to be maintained. So growth in a recession that included a credit crunch is likely for a company with credit as they are able to poick up the void created by smaller competitors going under.
Like I said...good times or bad, YOURS is not a luxury to your client base. YOURS is a necessity.
VaYank...it is my job to analyze industries and make recommendations. I would recommend you grow now for sure....but most do not have the luxury of ebing in a recssion prooof industry.
Commercial and hi rise residential Real Estate management firms are doing well...accounting firms, Durable Medical Equipment firms.....all recession proof.....
Apparently, you do not know much about my industry, because I am seeing cuts in customers that are normally "recession proof", such as healthcare and government. For you to sit back wherever you are and assume that my sector is recession proof, as opposed to finding new ways to sell to my customers is insulting at best. Good luck with your analyses.
Oh. I see. Now when an AC system fails, the tenants in the building have to sweat it out becuase we are in a recession.
Heatring system fails, all tenants in the building must close down becasue we are in a recession and the owner of the building will not fix it.
A pipe bursts and the building floods, no biggie. Just cloes the building until the recession is over.
Got it.
Now I know where you come from. You are full of shit.
You crossed the line with that crap. I know my business.....I dont think you knopw yours.
