Caterpillar sales going down

If you are in the construction sector as an outside salesperson, you just might want to take a look at this.

Caterpillar sales are going down and it doesn't look good for the coming year. Although sales are up in the third quarter for the heavy construction company, analysts for Caterpillar are expecting a slow down some time in the next year. Some of the problems foreseen are higher operating costs and a lack of sales.

Another reason for this anticipatory drop in sales is that the new construction sector is heading downhill and that emission regulations are going to cause a slow down in sales for the company.
