Column - the consultant: FIGHTING THE RIGHT BATTLE

March 1, 2009

As the New Year begins it seems that the weather has been very favorable for areas of our country that our industry relies on to "generate" business. Just the other day, my wife, who migrated to Indiana from Phoenix, was complaining about the small ice storm we received. She ranted about how bad it was to drive in and about the poor drivers of the nine vehicles we saw off the road against the guardrails during the four-mile drive to our home. I just looked at her and smiled. She realized that my eyes saw a completely different picture – nobody was hurt and the industry was set to make lots of repair dollars. Some may say we have a warped sense when it comes to weather, but it does pay the bills.
