During the 2005 Atlantic tropical hurricane season we saw many areas, which were struck by large category hurricanes and the power was out for weeks on end, gasoline supplies were short and for the most part non-existence. Worse off all the cell phone power lines were down and all land line phone lines were out also.

Imagine if you were in telephone sales and you were trying to cold call prospects to generate leads. Well, that indeed would be the challenge indeed and it would completely tax all your abilities and skills as a salesperson. In fact it might be such a tough market that it would behoove you to get up your belongings and move to a better area away from a potential future strike of the hurricane that season.

Many salesmen have moved areas since the 2005 Atlantic tropical hurricane season and even some of the others are worried this year that they are in areas and cities, which might be struck by a 2006 Atlantic tropical hurricane of a large category.

When the phone lines are out telephone sales for any business or any salesperson are literally impossible. Additionally, you cannot get enough gasoline in your car to drive out to do the selling and many of the business executives who make the decision may actually still be out of town on evacuations making it impossible for anyone to make the decision.

You can imagine the hardships that hurricanes have on those who are in the sales professional business or do business telephone sales. Even outside sales reps will find detours, roads washed out and some businesses and potential clientele leveled to the ground and gone, literally. Consider always a 2006 Bird.
