People like concrete evidence that something is or isn't happening. When a new building project is proposed a "Coming Soon" of "Watch For" sign goes up to create anticipation, but it isn't fully believable until ground is actually broken and it gets underway. After all there have been instances of signs proclaiming something coming only for them to fade away.
I heard a talk show recently where the question was posed to the guest as to how we would know when the economic slowness would be over - how we would recognize recovery. What would be the signs?
People apparently don't just want to feel good about the economy or the way things are. They want concrete evidence that the downturn chapter (what some are calling a recession) is over and that they can get on with their lives - pretty much as it was before.
In many cases, all they need to do is just make the decision that everything is fine and then to act like it. The chief impediment (not counting governmental intervention, meddling, over-regulation, and taxation policy) to a robust economy at this point seems to be lack of consumer confidence.
Therefore. we need a way of appealing to the masses and proclaiming that all is well - or certainly well on the way to getting there.
We need signs printed up and installed all across America - signs of recovery.
In my podcast message today, "SIGNS OF RECOVERY" (click to listen), I jokingly offer this as a solution to the general apathy and malaise the Americans have for their economy.
In fact, I also posted a similar message on my Sales Quips blog today.
Spread the word. We are doing better than we were and can do even better with everyone's help and positive attitude.
