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!
