I only operate seasonally, November 1 to May 1 and turn down business
the rest of the year. Even so it was our best season ever with nearly
80% of sales from direct referrals. As William said, find your niche.
We found ours a few years ago; recreational vehicles and off grid
systems in Mexico. With over 1 million people now living full time in
an RV, that market is a cash cow waiting to be milked. If you are
knowledgeable in battery based systems and have the ambition, it could
help some of you through the these slow times. But beware, do the job
well. This is a very close-knit group of people and bad news travels
faster than they can pull out of your parking lot.

care to respond compare your year-to-date sales in 2009?
