PresLetterLetter From the President

Brian Sittley
Brian Sittley, President, PSSI
Earlier this year, a client told me that the "good news" was business was up 8%; the "bad news" was that a year ago, it was down 60%. 

I've been on the road a good bit lately, visiting clients, with more visits to come.  Stories of being down 50 or 60% are common - but so lately are the ones about being back up by 30, or even 50%.  For many, the cloud seems to be lifting.  We've seen a tremendous uptick in interest and activity lately.  And why not?  Our solutions save you money, help you sell more and get noticed, and lean you out. 

For some timely examples and guidance, I urge you to check out a couple of the blog posts listed above.  We're here to help, and these posts illuminate how and why.

Regards,

Brian Sittley Sig
