Recession Proof?

Re: Recession Proof?

It really depends on the focus of your practice. If you business focuses on implementing a CRM known for its ability to track sales - probably not good. If your firm focuses on cost cutting - probably good.

I think in general you have to look at it in two ways. In a recession, more people try to go out on their own at least temporarily until they find another job so there is more competition. However, companies tend not to hire full time staff in a recession so there are more opportunities to pick up projects that would of normally been done by internal staff

We have found that the latter is generally the case with us - you just have to make sure you are going to be getting paid - you never know in difficult times.

Thanks for all of your comments lets just hope we do not have a recession - or maybe we should hope for that:)
