Economic development means different things for different communities. Not every community can or wishes to have primary sector employment. Changes in the nature of the U.S. economy have made service, retail, convention, lodging, leisure, and entertainment businesses as well as other local service businesses more significant economic elements in many communities. These service sector businesses provide jobs, personal income, and even identity to communities. Consequently, it is critical to increase the local understanding of business sector and its impact on the vitality of the community.

The difference between the economic impact of a local manufacturing firm and a retail firm is significant and generally recognized. However, the traditional economic development practice ignores this important distinction. By designing a single survey instrument for all business interviews, economic developers are skewing findings and underestimating risk.

Synchronist CRTS® is the only widely accepted tool, with users throughout the U.S. and Canada, designed exclusively for the service industry.
