摘要

Just when it looks like everything's going beautifully, a shot of hard data can some times change the view. Measured in sales dollars, 1998 was a huge year for Fromm Electric Supply of Reading, Reading, Pa., one of the best in all its 41 years. The economy in its six-location Eastern Pennsylvania territory was booming. The company seemed to be landing big jobs at every turn. Sales for the 112-em-ployee company leapt almost 20% over the previous year's record results to $37 million, "We were ecstatic," recalls John Hanna, vice president of sales and marketing.
