With three negative reports in a row, it's ugly. What we are seeing is two things: it is the storms and a pre-existing condition that came with the end of auto discounting. Part suppliers and their raw materials suppliers benefited from auto sales incentives.

With this new book, we expect an even bigger jump in sales and revenue. We've sold eight-and-a-half-million copies already of the new book. That's an enormous number, and we expect to hit over $100 million in sales.

With this kind of weather, we've now had this for some days, I think you'll find retail sales will reflect a cautious attitude on the part of consumers,

With this additional funding in place, we hope to conclude some of the acquisitions that are currently under discussion. Our record revenues last year were primarily the result of five acquisitions made in 2005. These funds will also give us the ability to expand our national sales force, which should strengthen our new-client enrollment program and enhance our organic growth.

With the year-end and new-year retail sales showing good results, the market mirrors optimism about the outlook of domestic consumption.

Worldwide Internet retail sales were almost $23 billion in 1999 and we expect that to double in 2000. Street estimates for worldwide sales in 2002 are approximately $105 billion, with $65 billion of that in the U.S. This implies an annual growth rate of 80 percent worldwide.

We?re seeing that some dealers are getting their best customer responses and better sales through the internet. Dealers are spending more on internet advertising, but they?re also getting more for their money. Internet advertising is increasingly replacing traditional newspaper advertising.

We're seeing our Internet sales roughly double or triple every year, ... We were at $18 million a day in the first quarter. It continues to grow. It was 30 percent (of total sales). We think it goes to 50 percent, then to 70 and 80 percent.

We're seeing it already. If you look at Wal-Mart's numbers and strip out the effect of grocery-store sales, there are signs of stress behind the scenes there, ... What many of us are concluding here is that ... because of what is going on with energy, we will probably see a much softer fourth quarter.

We're seeing clearance sales that are early by at least three to four weeks. Going back to the beginning of summer they had a lot of inventory on hand and they need to get rid of it, ... Second-quarter earnings are going to reflect the markdowns. Everybody has been caught in the downdraft.

When you're upgrading a technology that involves an organization's payroll, there's a great deal of parallel testing that needs to be done. The dirty little secret in the EIM market is that on-premise solutions have been and continue to be very expensive to purchase and implement. That's because of the complexities that surround sales compensation plans. These tools are being asked to operate in extremely complex environments.

When (former Gov. George Ryan's) administration tried to roll back the sales tax, it just went into the pockets of refiners and retailers and had no effect on prices,

We want our boat industry to stay strong and viable ... because it brings a lot of sales tax dollars to Hall County.

Participation in this business may include investment opportunities. We believe that the growing digital advertising market presents many opportunities to leverage our products, services and financial strength. This business includes marketing related opportunities in college facilities and selected commercial niches.

The reduction in sales is a plus for bonds. Investor confidence in the government's ability to manage public debt is increasing.

We achieved robust earnings growth while making significant investments in search technology, products, network capacity, sales and distribution, and most importantly, in people.

We did notice that ticket sales were up for that Sunday.

We developed a solution that extends the identity, security and manageability of the corporate desk phone to the wireless phone. It allows enterprises to be more responsive to their customers, encourages collaboration and increases sales opportunities by providing a mobile user with many essential PBX functions as if the user was at their desk.

There are multiple revenue streams, so theatrical gross is important because it signals the subsequent revenue through home video rentals, sales of DVDs, pay television and others.

There are more than 300 million people in the US, so we still have a lot of potential sales out there.

There are some questions whether local car sales will keep rising due to a slower-than-expected recovery in private consumption, although it is premature to take a pessimistic view.

There are some people more comfortable shopping through an online catalog. It only costs us a few thousand dollars each time and the sales we see mean a fantastic ROI.

The on-year rise in core CPI backs up our forecast of an exit from quantitative easing in April of next year, but the market's interest has shifted to the timing of an interest-rate hike.

There are five business days until the comparable-store sales figures come out. Stores will be assessing things, and we could see some warnings, if they haven't done well.

We thought we could grow the business if we could help the sales team treat all of their customers in new ways.

We really don't know yet. We're playing it by ear. We'll see how the sales go.

We heard a lot of comments from the sales reps after that event about how much the meeting meant to them. I think the day fostered a goodwill attitude, and it contributed to the focus of getting out there and succeeding despite any obstacles. A lot of the reps even became pen pals with the Special Olympics kids they spent the day with, and I think ultimately the children were the glue that bound the reps to each other.

We did reminder emails for sales campaigns we had sent via email. They were dirt cheap, not a lot of work, and increased conversions by 50%.

The extent of the drop seems overdone, ... I would not be surprised if home sales rebound, though the days of record sales levels may be behind us.

The creation of a BDC should result in more business for Thrifty Car Sales dealers and happier customers. Our dealers were telling us they had a need for greater traffic flow to their locations, and the business development center is designed to do just that. This is a red-hot concept in the car sales industry right now. Lots of new car dealers with multiple brands are moving to a call/business development center strategy. It takes incoming calls off the showroom floor and channels them to dedicated professionals solely focused on making appointments. We were able to leverage the assets of our worldwide car rental reservation center to deliver an extremely cost-effective, state-of-the art, full-service call center for our dealers.

We have a plan to reduce the county's sales tax by one percent, ... thereby reducing the cost of gas for the consumer. We (county) will have to make due with a little less and make a cut in the price of gas that will be visible to the consumer. If we have to tighten our belts a little bit then that is what we will do.

We have just under 1,000 projects in the pipeline for the U.S. alone, or three years worth of future growth planned. We'll do it through new stores, through acquisitions and by growing sales in our existing stores.

Our sales staff has come to expect that our consumers are well educated when it comes to making a replacement window purchase. What they find more and more often is a woman asking informed questions, which shows that she's done her research.

We had been projecting an (annual) sales rate of 16 million vehicles in September. If I take out a third of sales for only a two week period, you still come out with an eye-popping 13.3 million sales rate; 13.3 million is about as low as sales ever get.

When we started getting the video airplay is when we saw the album sales start to climb towards the 100,000 mark. Before that, selling 10,000 in bluegrass was considered to be a huge success.

When we said we would sign up multiple microcontroller partners, it raised an important issue, since we're a tiny company.

There are other bull sales in other areas, and we want people to save the day to save your dollar.

There are many different pieces of this giant puzzle that need to come together. The pieces that must come together include installation of ticket terminals, training retailers, testing software applications and so much more.

In addition, numerous state agencies are providing assistance to us, as necessary.

There are people like the Taylor boys who are the next generation. There is no mistake about that. They are taking it very seriously and they care about the success of the sales business. They have all taken the industry to the next level.

We're looking at a softer open. Retail sales are a bit of a concern. There is still some uncertainty over rising rates that has got everybody a little bit more cautious.

We're continuing to see retailers cite the weather for either making or breaking their sales numbers. Frankly, I think is an excuse tailored to satisfy Wall Street. Wall Street is a little more forgiving if a major retailer blames weather for disappointing sales.

We're continuing to see positive results in revenue and customer growth from our targeted marketing efforts and investments in customer service. Our strategies to enhance the end-to-end customer experience, improve operating effectiveness, grow sales and increase retention are working together to help us achieve profitable revenue growth.

We're confident Chevy was the sales leader for 2005.

We're concerned that McDonald's may not be able to sustain these levels of comparable sales gains over the next 8 to 9 months. We expect sales growth going forward to be in the mid single-digits of between 4 to 6 percent as the company enters a period of tougher comparisons from a year ago.

Life is a series of sales situations, and the answer is no if you don't ask.

Make clear to your sales staff that they are expected to sell in all mediums, that it's not enough to sell only one. Set aggressive but realistic sales goals.

Last year, we set a sales record. This year we are also going to go full throttle.
