We listen skeptically to the news these days which seems to always advertise crime is down, yet mysteriously the statistics stay the same. Often they are followed by a forked tongue politician that does not have a clue. We hear the same thing when it comes to the economy. But if you are the 10% that is unemployed, your economy has not improved! So what do you believe? I can tell you that both Rottweiler and Centerpoint Digital Services, Inc. are seeing every indication that companies are hiring again and we are too.
About six weeks ago orders started coming in to add a telephone or computer needed for a new hire. And we also received orders to install a few phone systems for one of the hiring agency companies we support. A dozen calls later we started to realize that the economic situation appears to be improving. Then came the flood, the flood of proposals! Phone systems, camera systems, security systems, card access, wiring and the list goes on! In all our years of doing business, I don't think I have ever seen such a flood proposal requests come in all at any one time. Each day working until 9 pm just to get them out. To date we have quoted over 1 million dollars in quotes this year and sold more phone systems than in all of year 2009 and it is only the beginning of May!
To add to the upswing, Centerpoint Digital wants to hire two individuals. We advertised for a sales manager early in the year, unfortunately posting this position has not generated that key individual yet. We also are currently looking to hire someone that can set appointments, handle and close the quotes as they arrive and interact with customers for their communication or security needs. If you know of someone that may fit either of these two categories, please have them contact us.
We also have had more wire, fiber and cabling requests this year due to the "Proposal Flood" we have experienced. As companies position their work environment to different office space wire installation has to precede the move. Usually this will take a few weeks lead time to insure proper wire installation and if you are Rottweiler customer, don't forget to take advantage of the savings in the BACR program!
Depending on the installation, BACR customers usually save about 10% off of multiple installs but can save as much as 21%. So if you would like to save your business some money on your move, become a Rottweiler Security customer. You'll be glad you did and Rottweiler Security has the only Mobile Security Solution on the market.
I hope your economy is improving but if you have not I want to encourage you. Don't give up and keep engageing businesses. Since we already know they are starting to hire now is the time to keep your resume current and reengage your job hunt. May God bless you in your job search!
