At the end of the day I decided to take a look at last year’s figures, more specifically the period of January to October of 2009 and this year. It most definately has been a much better year this time round
We have increased sales by just a tad over 50%, and as of this week we have now already sold more so far this year than in the whole of last year. After such progress you can understand why we don’t want any bumps in the road that could potentially derail the upward trend, hence the nervousness of the upcoming spending review.
From what I can gather, we aren’t the only ones that have managed to brush off the dust of the recession. SunShield down in Exeter have managed 65% growth so far this year. Due to this we thought we’d have ourselves a little game. Who ever manages the best growth at the end of the year wins, we just need to figure out what the prize should be at the end! All suggestions welcome!

>Can't compete with 50% growth DGB. Excellent progress!
It just goes to show that forward thginking companies can take market share, and there's still plenty of work to go around.
My tip is to not worry about spending reviews or the wider economy. As long as you keep your eye on your own business, you'll be alright ;-)
>RCG – it's only me that worries about the wider economy, everybody else ignores me and gets on with it! What is funny is that any question about business or the economy go to me lol.
Me and CG have agreed that the winner shall recieve a trophy similar to the one football teams get for winning the Champions League!
>50% up thats really good.. were about 20% up on this time last year.. keep up the good work..
>Heritage Windows – thanks very much, 20% growth is still good bearing in mind the tough trading conditions!
>When Conservatory Girl asked me for our growth figures yesterday I based them on our financial year, not calendar year. Sorry to up the competetion but we are actually just over 70% up on last last year, based on January – September.
>Alex – good, I like a competition! How's your connversion rates going, heard CG gave the staff a kick up the arse and they improved after that!
>We had a bit of a drop in conversions in the middle part of the year but they seem to be back on track now. We converted 57% of our surveys in September and still hopeful a few more will come in.
>I had 66.6% in August, and about the same as you for September, can't argue with that! It's good to see other companies ignoring the bad press and taking their chances in the market place. Well done on those 11k roofs too!
