If a Recession Doesn't Kill Your Business, These (3) Things Might (January 25th)

OK, now that we caught your attention with a gloomy title, let's get real. The CI Industry is not lined with dead bodies from past businesses gone awry, in fact, running a decent CI business that seems to spin off cash is relatively easy. As an industry, we have enjoyed a constant stream of demand since the last recession more than 13 years ago. That recession did lead to many integrators shutting their doors, and some in a very abrupt fashion. What indiscretions in your business are being clouded by revenue growth, and what happens when the business cycle changes? What leading indicators are you using to see around the corner? What is your plan of attack when problems are on the horizon? Who is even looking at the horizon? This webinar will cover topics such as:

  • The (3) Key Indicators you must watch in your business, regardless of the economic cycle
  • Why Cash Flow is the most important factor to manage and what most integrators are getting wrong
  • Why Financial Efficiency is more critical than Job Productivity, but wait...they are related!
