Operators reported a larger increase in sales,

A STRONG ECONOMY FUELS OCS

While location and staff growth was
slightly smaller this year, operators
reported a larger increase in sales, with
90% of respondents saying that their
total sales rose, compared to 72% last
year (chart 2). Operators attributed
this to increased customer demand
from employees, increased pricing,
divesting smaller accounts that didn't
meet the return on investment (ROI),
the efforts of a strong sales team, and a
strong economy.
More than half of the survey
respondents said the typical location
population of their OCS accounts was
between 20 to 74 employees (chart
8), trending closely with the previous year's figures. However, a greater
number of OCS operators - 22.7%,

with

90% of respondents saying that

their total sales rose, compared to 72% last year.
