It makes sense for Nissan to make use of Renault's production base to sell vehicles in emerging markets where the automaker is looking to expand sales.
Norihito Kanai
Polo continued to exhibit tremendous momentum. The strength in the business was broad, with wholesale and retail both outperforming our sales and margin expectations.
Lizabeth Dunn
While this increase improved total sales revenue for the quarter, margins on these products are lower than margins on the company's finished products.
Joe Crawford
Our sales are going up because we're a niche label. We continue to explore and exploit all the riches available to us.
Alison Brown
Comparisons to a very strong year-ago November are difficult. However, our sales remain generally healthy.
Bill Lovejoy
If an agent or producer isn't licensed and appointed properly, they are automatically locked out of the sales system. Between that feature and our 98.7% matching rate with the PDB, we're in good shape as far as compliance.
Dan Corridon
We have $120 million that has already been earmarked or tagged for the project. Some of that is Sonoma County sales tax money. It's part of the bridge toll increase that occurred on the state-owned bridges.
Lillian Hames
The cut in the debt sales is a positive for bonds. The improved fiscal situation with a stricter cap on sales lightens up the sentiment in the market.
Shigeru Endo
We were able to collect the fees necessary to cover the facility and other operational costs through revenue generated through ticket sales.
Darren Libonati
During 2006, it is imperative that we improve our core business performance with a priority focus on restoring sales momentum. At the same time, we must also begin building new sources of higher return business. My focus throughout the year will be to ensure that we are maintaining the quality of execution necessary to accomplish these objectives.
Jerry Jurgensen
A lot of people following this story in the media and investors... are really focusing on the tree and are not stepping back and looking at the forest. To date, only five percent of (music) sales have migrated digitally. We are in the very, very early days of this.
Chris Gorog
Housing markets across the country have cooled, as predicted, and builders are aware that some slowing in demand is inevitable following the record-breaking sales for the past three years.
David Pressly
A possible explanation is that the data correction is overcorrecting the impact of the five Saturdays in December, which would explain why the data is poor when the retailers reported strong Christmas sales.
Dominique Barbet
3G services are not yet at the level that they necessarily would require high-speed data transfers. Sales of 3G handsets will certainly grow next year, but it will not be a breakthrough.
Ron Garriques
We asked consumers in focus groups, 'Would you rather return things to stores and have to pay sales tax?' and they chose no sales tax.
Jeanne Meyer
We all have to find a way to fight for the sales and become relevant to the customer.
David Dillon
Sales results were good in many low-margin, non-wireless categories; however, we experienced lower sales in high-margin categories. In addition, wireless sales and profits were below our expectations.
Dave Edmondson
Our company goal is to raise more than $5,000 through Helpful Hardware Card sales on Labor Day Weekend.
John Rutter
But you have to put it in perspective. Beer is coming off it's all-time highs while hard alcohol sales are coming off their all-time lows. [Nevertheless], you're concerned about the future, about not letting this trend become a runaway train.
Robert Lachky
Price momentum comes at a tremendous cost in volatility. It's a wild roller coaster ride. Make sure you don't have lunch before doing price momentum alone. Use momentum where you can get low price-to-sales, low price-to-earnings ratios. Don't use it alone.
James O'shaughnessy
What should the tax policy be for the state of Utah in conjunction with sales tax? Sales tax is a state tax and it should be imposed and managed by the state.
Rep. Wayne Harper
Percentage of sales-—-the table contributions, which often represent about 50 percent of the table revenue-—-actually go up.
Craig Shniderman
The promotion will reduce promotion and advertising spending for the film, potentially limiting risk and heightening the probability the Lions Gate will reach [fiscal-year sales forecasts].
Thomas Eagan
We also recommend building a target group of preferred customers. The two easiest ways to make money are repeat sales and referrals. We want to target them and give them a special dose of attention.
Bob Woehrle
Imagine a 40-to-50 percent sales tax -- that would cheer everybody up.
Robert Mcintyre
Newspaper sales, while mixed, have been remarkably resilient to declines in the key economic indicators.
Mark Webster
They all have brought down prices. You have to make sure their same-store sales are positive in a deflationary environment, so that's relatively positive, but it's early days yet. The integration seems to be on track.
Don Povilaitis
My advice is for Y2K managers to leverage the relationships they've built. They should look for opportunities to drive a business process within the company such as a sales force automation or supply chain management project.
Paul Brown
The results are better-than-expected and the increase of the sales and margin target is also positive.
Patrick Roquas
We pushed hard for it. If not our biggest issue, it was one of the biggest issues of [last year's] session. Every town across the state said it did not hurt real estate sales.
Kevin Maloney
The Integrity Selling Program is a needs-focused sales course designed to help sales people and organizations acquire and keep more loyal customers.
Cameron Beckman
Dave Smith Motors of Kellogg, Idaho, was attracting customers from around the Northwest and taking substantial sales from.
William Baer
This is the first time since I started monitoring sales by model in 1978 that a passenger car has come even close to being the most popular vehicle in Canada.
Dennis Desrosiers
GM and its dealers are coming off an extremely successful marketing effort with 'Keep America Rolling' and we intend to continue our sales momentum.
Bill Lovejoy
Right now, the sales tax is imposed only on goods, and not services. At the retail level, people are starting to spend more on services than on goods.
Michael Walden
We expect sluggish sales in the first half of 2006 due to a continuation of calendar 2005 themes.
Brent Thill
The thing we're going to want to know is where do unit sales go moving forward, ... We'd like to see plans for unit growth to continue along with margin growth.
Pete Peterson
If we don't have sales tax coming in from tourism-related (station) owners, it's going to hurt property taxpayers.
Raymond Smith
Rapid growth in new orders and sales does not automatically translate to higher profits. New employees will need to be hired and trained. Suppliers need to expand capacity too. Can all this be handled without margin degradation?
Byron Callan
It's amazed me as to the outpouring of affection that people have for them, and 100 percent of all ticket sales goes to Children's Mercy. I had a guy come into our office about an hour ago and buy a hundred tickets. Another guy came in and bought 200 yesterday.
Bob Burris
Our objective is to provide the reseller with that vision and blueprint to be able enter and be profitable in the business, and they understand what they need to do through the whole sales process.
Duncan Potter
It's like having a house floating on the water. We've had a record number of calls and we're hoping it will develop into a lot of sales.
Sabrina Balthazar
They want to see demonstrated what they are buying. They want to bring their friends and families. The problem is, it's tough to find a sales office.
Mike Ghielmetti
Some analysis shows that a six-second delay at the drive-through can lead to 1 percent decrease in overall sales. So self-service there could be a good idea.
Paul Westra
March sales definitely exceeded all expectations and for the first time ever, total sales including non-reporters, exceeded 60,000 units in one month.
Brand Pretorius
With fewer than 400 ethanol stations in the entire country, it will be important for them to follow through on plans to promote ethanol sales. Otherwise, their increased flexible-fuel vehicle sales will actually exacerbate our oil dependence.
Jason Mark
In a way, Israel was following the American lead with respect to links with China, including sales of military equipment and technology.
Gerald Steinberg
Led by growth in our core brands including Barbie, Fisher-Price and Hot Wheels, Mattel has experienced increased sales domestically for the third quarter in a row.
Robert Eckert
We now expect our 2006 sales activity to be nearly double previous projections.
Bill Hankowsky
The sales of new cars in 2006 have doubled since the showroom has opened. The new store will definitely add sales to our bottom line.
Chris Cain
Most of the jobs are entry-level: tellers, assemblers and retail sales.
Alan Miller
The pace of sales has slowed in recent months. But we're starting to turn the corner.
Warren Hickernell
That may mean that people get less optimistic about the immediate outlook for the U.S. economy. Some of the data for the past month has been fairly upbeat. We don't think retail sales will fall into that pattern.
John Shepperd
This represents a tremendous opportunity for retailers, who can cut through this lack of understanding by educating their sales staff and training them on how to conduct effective audio demonstrations.
Sean Wargo
Mazda, like other automakers, is benefiting from the weaker yen. Currently they don't have many new models, but next fiscal year starting in April, they will release new SUV models in the U.S., which should help its earnings and sales.
Norihito Kanai
When we said we would sign up multiple microcontroller partners, it raised an important issue, since we're a tiny company. We had the specific discussion of eliminating OEM sales in favor of partnering with chip suppliers, but the coprocessor market appeared to have a long enough life to justify our offering products like the EM260 independently.
Bob Metcalfe
Aaron is a high achiever with an exceptional background in the Washington, DC market. His breadth of experience in the boutique luxury segment, coupled with his understanding of fine customer service, make him a perfect fit to lead sales and marketing for this property.
Vicki Denfeld
We expect to see continued, although slower growth in housing. Higher interest rates will tend to dampen home sales somewhat. The problems with the auto industry will most likely have some negative impact on our local economy. However, the positive initiatives happening at Purdue and in the Purdue Research Park may tend to offset any negatives from the auto industry.
Bill Connors
We think it will be a very important sales feature and tool for our installed sales initiative.
Mike Tummillo
(Manager) Ned (Yost) told me I would really like the group of people we have. I thought initially that it might just be part of his sales pitch. But it's true.
Robin Yount
We are encouraged by the better-than-expected (comparable-store sales) ... but we note that high promotional activity will likely continue to pressure merchandise margins.
Gabrielle Kivitz
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.
Catherine Paschkewitz
It looks pretty clear that sales volume will decline from record level but will still be high while prices will continue to go up.
Harvey Shapiro
I think it was a complete success. I wasn't as concerned with a good single sales day as I was with bringing in new sales customers.
Melody Arnold
It's kind of a creative outlet for a different kind of person. I collect antiques. I love pottery. Creative table sets are kind of in the back of my mind all year when I go to garage sales.
Janet Murphy
The level of optimism of companies coming out of July and August is reasonable. It's easier to beat August sales targets since they are traditionally quite low.
Barry Randall
As a category, games represent 50 percent of consumer PC software sales. This is an opportunity for volume growth in disc drive shipments as the Xbox attracts a large portion of this audience.
Brian Dexheimer
We are extremely pleased with our sales performance for May, ... All markets continue to perform well. With the warm weather, we benefited from the early buying of summer merchandise.
William Kellogg
They are all suffering these days from the affected sales of the company in the area, although they did not make any mistake. Others made the mistake and they condemn it. Now that we have clarified where we stand ... we leave the rest to your sense of justice.
Peder Tuborgh
In the last period, we saw almost a 50 percent increase. We're going to watch the sales of the remaining gift cards and make a decision about what we're going to do.
Jamie Miller
We expect our 1999 sales to grow faster than the global economy as a result of new product introductions in each of our business units, expected demand for aircraft safety systems, market-share growth in the aerospace aftermarket, capacity expansion in turbochargers and recovery in the electronics market.
Lawrence Bossidy
If overall industry conditions continue to improve, we see them making $7.45 a share in 2003, ... That's not assuming massive margin expansion. It's our belief that automotive demand is about a million units higher [for industry-wide U.S. annual sales] than the consensus expectations. That's being proven right as we continue to improve on estimates each of the last four years.
Scott Hill
It's increased sales of my book probably at least three-fold, maybe more.
Louis Sachar
By internalizing their Internet services instead of outsourcing them, it could be a good thing for Gateway. It's not critical, though. They're doing well with their hardware, their personal computer sales, so it's not as important overall.
Kevin Hause
If WinCE devices cannibalize PC laptop sales, Microsoft's profits get eroded.
Matthew Nordan
Honda and Acura continue to demonstrate positive sales growth, despite an overall lukewarm economy. It all comes back to product, and consumers continue to respond positively to our core vehicles.
Dick Colliver
The consumer's been out in force for several months, ... all of these factors have contributed to very robust sales at retail.
Richard Church
Well all the big companies are really panicked by the internet thing and all that, and sales went down, although sales have gone up again in this country a bit and also the big companies, because they're so big, they need big sales really so they're not really interested.
Jack Bruce
While we are disappointed with the results and expect continued intense competition, we remain committed to our focus on store execution, training, inventory control and effective advertising and promotions. We believe this is the formula for increasing sales and improving cash flow in the long term.
Mary Sammons
It's essential that we have highly competitive sales forces and sales and marketing organizations that are experienced in selling and marketing drugs in competitive markets.
David Kaye
We are responding to demand from merchants and consumers, building out from existing locations and bringing our mobile payment and loyalty system to markets across the U.S.. Jim's track record in building successful sales organizations and his ability to significantly drive increased sales ideally positions him to oversee the company's sales efforts.
Robert Wesley
We are very pleased with our double-digit retail and wholesale sales growth and continuing strong margin improvement in these businesses.
Roger Farah
Maybe handset sales in China are okay but that's not enough for the U.S. tech market to rally on. Companies here are still cutting capital expenditures.
James Mcglynn
We're encouraged by the company's results, particularly after reporting somewhat disappointing November sales.
Dan Geiman
We're glad to see that sales in Europe have turned around. McDonald's said nothing about Asia so that could mean that they're still sucking wind there.
Dean Haskell
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.
Tom Courtney
The PAS system is perfect for anyone who abhors prospecting, selling, and closing deals. When you use PAS, you never have to cold-call strangers or attend boring sales meetings. Their expert staff does it all for you.
Joyce Thompson
We have an enormous sales pipeline for both applications and technology, ... Typically that's proven to be a good indicator of how we'll do.
Jeff Henley
By contrast, dealers spend 20 percent of their time on referrals, be-backs, and repeats, which result in closed sales 50, 67 and 70 percent of the time, respectively.
Jeff Sacks
Online sales still represent about 2 percent of total retails sales. So there's a lot more room to grow.
Jeffrey Grau
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.
Dean Haskell
I started the tradition of sidewalk sales at the ripe old age of 16.
Shirley Leinwand
It helps facilitate the cross sell on other products such as disability because it frees up time in the sales process to discuss other products the client may need.
Damon Bates
The product side of franchises are doing well, but sales of franchises have been slacking off. Just about all franchises are working to generate leads for business.
Terry Hill
There are some good signs of growth in Germany. Retail sales data suggest consumer spending is picking up and order books are overflowing. Firms should continue to perform relatively well.
Sandra Petcov
The fourth quarter is the peak season for PC sales, which should help AU stay profitable.
Simon Chao
There is a cost associated with DRM, and that is lost sales of content.
Dave Goldberg
As I said in my state of the state address, we can no longer rely on gaming and sales taxes to pay our way. Indian gaming next door in California is eroding our major industry in Nevada.
Kenny Guinn
I'm seeing minivan sales chugging along just fine. A lot of people find they suit their needs really well, but they can't stand their image.
Jim Hossack
Nextel has had a vertical approach to sales, ... They've been very targeted in which opportunities to pursue.
Keith Waryas
Retailers cited several positive external factors contributing to the increased sales this year. The top three reasons were decreased gas prices, increased acceptance or comfort with online shopping, and the press coverage about online shopping. We are experiencing a general momentum right now.
Scott Silverman
Sales are bad. Earnings aren't special. They've got problems.
Aram Rubinson
The trend you're seeing now is a package of services. The trick is not necessarily getting as many sales of just the commoditized hosting plans as possible, but getting as many customers that are buying multiple services. That's the real key to growing.
Barbara Branaman
Nationally the uppermost sector of the residential property market has held up relatively well with the 26% fall in sales of £1m properties comparing with a 36% decline in total house sales between the first halves of 2004 and 2005.
Martin Ellis
January has emerged as almost a second Christmas, with gift cards, sales, etc. It's a new trend.
Brad Goldberg
We're not trying to displace (offline sales); we're trying to offer another channel. Our goal is reaching out to the community and understanding what it is that eBay can do to help keep interest in collecting alive. That's really important to us.
Laurence Toney
A methamphetamine dealer actually documented all of his sales on an Excel spread sheet: Name, customer, what they purchased, when they purchased it. Very good for law enforcement!
John Mallery
It is important to recognize that sales on eBay are different from traditional auctions.
Catherine England
Budget and Ryder TRS are two of the most distinguished and trusted brand names in the vehicle rental industry, ... Ryder TRS fits well with Budget Group's portfolio of car, truck, van and recreational vehicle rental and sales holdings.
Sandy Miller
Hiring has not been quite as high as what we'd expect in November. Job growth has been consistent. It's continuing to grow. It's just not growing in huge numbers. Businesses don't always fill jobs immediately when their sales go up.
Linda Davis
There are early signs that the long-awaited corporate PC-replacement cycle may indeed about to begin, but it is too early to say that significantly increased semiconductor sales to this sector are guaranteed.
Richard Gordon
When we crunch numbers for 1999, we may see a corresponding increase between sales and piracy in that region that would take those numbers back up again.
David Phelps
It appears investors may be concerned about the future of tax treatments of income trusts, as there were net redemptions of $190 million in October in income trust mutual funds, compared to the recent average of $200 million in net sales.
Tom Hockin
In the UK, our sales momentum is highly encouraging and new business profit is increasingly strongly.
Richard Harvey
One reason for the great year is that Choice provides a great return on investment to franchisees. We consider our franchisees our customers and our partners in this business, and we recognize that the best way to keep them happy is to provide a good ROI. Our sales results show that franchisees-both current and potential-recognize what a good investment it is to be a part of the Choice system.
David Pepper
We are now back on an even footing with our competitors in the EC (European Union) and I believe the quality of the British product will ensure that we begin to recapture our share of beef sales on the continent as soon as the ban is officially lifted.
Peter Kendall
The question is whether Sun can train its sales force to sell these things. Sun periodically wants to get into and not get into software.
Michael Goulde
Anita has a tremendous track record of success. Her in-depth knowledge of this market, combined with her leadership skills and expertise in hospitality sales and operations, will be invaluable as we build North Orlando's premier hotel and conference facility.
Peter Marino
One of our challenges -- but it's also an opportunity -- is to figure out how a stand-alone Hoover can re-enter the marketplace with a marketing and sales strategy that's appropriate to 2006.
Christopher Mackin
We would not read too much into the weak sales for Activision, since most of its key titles for the quarter aren't expected out until September.
Michael Wallace
Hard Day's Night was one of those great films that will never happen again to anyone in their lifetime. UA were in profit before we'd even finished shooting - The advance sales on the album - the film was out before the album was out was more than it cost UA to make the film.
Richard Lester
We'd have to analyze that. It would be very challenging to us financially. If you gross $1.5 million to $2 million in ticket sales (annually), expenses could be darn close to that. That wouldn't be profitable.
Jill Mesaros
In the U.S. there's been fantastic gift card download sales. Towards the middle of last year we were wondering if the digital revolution was over. But after the holiday season sales really picked up as a result of gift cards.
Larry Kenswil
Those consumer-oriented stocks gained quite aggressively yesterday after the January retail sales data, which was a pretty good number, so we saw a bit of profit taking today.
Warren Hammond
Business is excellent and we want to grow the company to take advantage of the sales opportunities that are coming our way.
John Hudson
The upside in the semiconductors didn't happen. Some people were expecting it given the strong handset sales in the Christmas season.
Jane Snorek
Most of our sales are domestic. However, we are trying to expand our export business and have been very successful the last three years.
Frank Muir
I wouldn't say disappointing. I think surprising is the right word. And that includes sales to the general public, not just the waiting list members.
Pat Hanlon
We are experiencing growing pains in ramping innovation through the manufacturing side of our business, which resulted in delays in the introduction of new products that were expected to have significant sales and earnings in the fourth quarter.
Gregg Hammann
It remains to be seen whether the end of the strike will do enough to help a recoil in sales. There have been some sales lost -- there's no question about it.
Robbert Van Batenburg
This is a big sales meeting and we're encouraging you to get involved.
Roger Warren
Smaller manufacturers have seen some deterioration in the rate of profit growth, but the continued strength in sales, exports and capital investment indicates they have not yet been seriously affected by recent global turmoil.
Jerry Jasinowski
But this forces reps to drive back and forth to the regional office to get the products they need, pulling them out of the field and hurting sales productivity.
Chris Holt
There are no sales going on; it's more of a display store. I was not there as much as I would have liked to have been because it was just a busy part of the season. From what people have said, the response has been positive.
Barb Bartley
Bad weather and the war did affect Lowe's sales in the quarter. That's the logical assumption. But whether that was 100 percent of the reasons for disappointing sales remains to be seen. If Home Depot reports better earnings and the comparable sales gap between Home Depot and Lowe's narrows, that will raise questions.
Colin Mcgranahan
It's not just a job. It's the future. An EE degree can be used for designing products, marketing them and application. We often hire electrical engineers into marketing and sales. There is also a great need now for analog design engineers.
Tegwin Pulley
The big bet for the apparel merchants is not how Easter sales will shape up in April but how the weather acts.
Laurence Leeds
In some ways, the sales tax is fairer. A retired person living on a fixed salary, their property tax appreciates while they don't spend much on sales tax.
Don Crosby
The awards season attention that Crash has been getting continues to help drive DVD sales.
Tom Ortenberg
Had a great deal of success with this program. We've set a number of sales records in the past few months, and we thought it was important to extend for the month of September.
Deborah Silverman
If he accelerated his sales dramatically from here, then perhaps it would be quite a red flag. As for now, I would interpret this as a natural event for a strong leader when he steps down from a company.
Jonathan Moreland
[The market] is under-performing in terms of sales because it's tough to find something that works.
Gbola Amusa
Although we continue to rate Hershey overweight, we believe the stock could see some pressure today given the deceleration in organic sales growth relative to recent quarters and lower than expected gross margins.
Pablo Zuanic
I'd rather have to pay that then a sales tax.
Cindy Johnson
The goal is to write contracts and generate sales. It's a unique approach that we will continue to do in the future.
Richard Greco
We're trying to find someone who can print up the books for free, because we do not have the cash flow to do that ourselves, ... Our sales rep is running around to all the printing plants, trying to find someone.
Richard Nash
Look at the results of (Chico's) same-store sales. They keep posting incredible numbers year after year. Passport keeps growing and it gets people coming into stores.
Christine Chen
The interesting thing there, though, is that they did cut back on sales of lower margin phones. That helped them get the higher operating margin, but it did cost them some revenue.
Pete Peterson
Sales are going well. Very brisk.
Roger Simmons
Businesses in Hastings have to be competitive with the rest of the U.S. We need to provide opportunities for those business to locate and expand and be able to make that profit so they can provide the payroll that will turn over in the community in terms of retail sales.
Dee Haussler
Sales increases in our pharmacy, home fashions, health and beauty care, consumables and apparel areas, together with a substantial lift in gross margin rate, enabled Kmart to more than triple earnings per share in the quarter before the non-recurring charge.
Floyd Hall
There's no telling how it affected sales. Right now, they're very close.
John Majdoch
By February, inventory was half of what it should have been, and that choked off sales in February and March.
Patrick Byrne
If you look at Helen of Troy's customer base, sales are generally strong. Wal-Mart sales are up, Target sales are up.
Howard Davidowitz
The central bank is taking a pre-emptive action. Confidence is rising, sales are picking up and the central bank is looking at higher growth next year.
Im No Jung
Consulting companies aren't usually thought of as having a need for CRM systems, but in fact they have a sales function like everyone else. Our users at the audit firm particularly liked the fact that everything happens in Outlook, which most people use heavily.
Roger Strain
This year we have hit record highs for consolidated net sales, consolidated operating income and consolidated net income. These favorable results are due to a continued increase in domestic and overseas car production for Japanese auto manufacturers.
Koji Kobayashi
We recognize that uncertainty regarding Palm's future pricing creates uncertainly for Handspring's near-term sales and margin outlook, and to the extent that we need to respond, we will.
Donna Dubinsky
It's allowed us to take what was hidden in a room at headquarters and bring it to the working level nationwide ... so now we have a much more powerful sales force.
John Gregory
Lobbying is sales and sales is about relationships. Lobbyists can and do provide quality information (to legislators).
Bernie Omann
Sears had a good profit report. Some of the retailers were getting hit a bit yesterday on the retail sales data, but with Sears coming out with what they did, that should help that group a little.
Victor Pugliese
Spending should remain strong in the days following the holidays as consumers look for post-holiday sales, and begin using their gift cards.
Wayne Best
Our reorganized sales management team is 100 percent focused on providing dealers with the support they need to be successful in their businesses.
Steve Matlock
Looks like the stock market has gotten off on positive footing after yesterday's broad-based decline. We're seeing gains in eight of 10 S&P sectors. The data that came out so far was pretty much in line with expectations. Looking ahead, investors will be keeping an eye on auto sales.
Michael Sheldon
Microsoft's biggest problem is its [sales] channel.
Bruce Richardson
They've set a business model that relies on making money on game sales rather than box sales. That's part of their problem.
Dan Gillmor
Our public online operations continue to post record sales each quarter as we are currently receiving over 2 million visits to our site each month.
Michael Feuer
We sold $10.4 million before the drawing in October (which came on a Wednesday, allowing one more day's sales). But obviously, we're delighted by the number.
Kym Gerlock
The seasonally adjusted annual (industry-wide) sales rate in the last six months has exceeded 18 million. Going forward, we anticipate that consumer demand will moderate in response to higher interest rates. Still, consumer confidence remains high and that bodes well for healthy auto sales.
Bob Rewey
There's no question Medicare Part D has dampened sales.
David Mackay
As customers become aware of the cost cutting and savings and that we have the available technology for them, it creates awareness, and it becomes a chain reaction. That's causing our sales people to be so busy.
Kevin Leong
Our ability to continue to increase market share for these new products has been one of the keys to our success. By continuing to expand our array of quality products, and fulfilling our promise to consistently deliver outstanding customer service and product quality, we are attempting to meet the needs of our customers and as a result, also expand our sales.
Leigh J. Abrams
It's a sales tax - Sen. Green can call it a fee if he wants. We have an image as low-cost state, but we're losing part of that image every time we pass a commodity tax.
John Dumais
Most of the investors are gone, and traffic is down in home builders' sales trailers. Just look at all the ads. Builders are trying to move homes fast.
Jay Butler
The city has to opt out of the sales tax ceiling first, and that takes some time. Then, you have to have a vote of the people to approve it. And even then, it will be several months before you actually collect any revenues from it. So there wasn't enough time to raise the funds for 2006 through a sales tax.
Chris Ford
The department stores did better than I expected to do. It was a decent performance in a tough environment for retail sales.
Robert Buchanan
Industry sales have held up better than expected despite a backdrop of economic uncertainty, and we think this trend will characterize all of 2001.
Bill Lovejoy
The marketing and sales of hedge funds to individual investors has been an ongoing focus of the NASD.
Barry Goldsmith
Five years ago, Wal-Mart had $160 billion in sales. Now it has over $288 billion in revenue. That alone is enough to force retailers to come up with a different competitive technique.
Gilbert Harrison
Most business lines continue to exhibit strong sales during the quarter, including sales of consumer loans, deposits and credit cards.
Howard Atkins
There was not enough ticket sales. We needed to sell at least 100 tickets to cover the cost of the food.
Louise Bennett
The name doesn't impact sales. What impacts sales is the characteristics or the traits of the variety and how that impacts the bottom lines of the growers.
Jennifer Emerson
You're talking less than 5 percent of all the beer sales are craft beers, but it's the fastest growing, steadiest growing segment of the domestic beer category.
Jerald O'kennard
I think at first it was not a perfect experience. There was zero student participation. He would play football and no one would be in the stadium. Football athletes were really frowned upon. ... They did a great sales job. In essence, it wasn't the case.
Beth Puchtel
But then the decline in home sales is more interesting. Not from a data point of view, but the point is, it reflects a greater trend. I think this is going to be more of a focus for 2006.
