With the wide professional userbase of this site I am curious as to what the general perception is regarding business conditions in the US. Some of the indicators are up but for anyone selling B2B we have about 10 million fewer customers than just a few years ago. Are you finding business activity is on the upswing? From our perspective business appears to be incredibly lumpy with days and weeks that are super busy and then quiet periods of a few days.
It's definitely not 2006 anymore. But... even with most business being down we still have a high demand for our products and services.
The B2B market is getting more saturated and the margins are definitely narrowing for these types of services.
