Who are the new movers and shakers of the industry?

 

Those posting the biggest gains in sales percentages or the biggest sales? That depends on your viewpoint. Those that root for the underdog probably lean to those gaining ground on the establishment. Those hard core conservatives probably like the status quo as it is.

 

Either way you look at it, here are the results at the 4 month mark as to who is gaining or losing in sales. No fancy math is needed to derive the truth as we are at that point of the year that our sales days for last year and this year match, so all figures are a direct match for the year to date.

 

Read em and weep!
