The first half of 2025 threw plenty of curveballs at businesses in heavy industry—but the game’s far from over. If your team’s been on defense, it’s time to regroup, rethink your strategy, and run a smarter second-half offense with Catalyst.
2025-Jul-ThuFootball season is almost here—and for those of us in heavy equipment, construction, agriculture and industrial business, the first half of 2025 sometimes felt like fourth-and-long with a wet football. Maybe you’ve muttered “Can we catch a break?” as the market blitzed you yet again. But hey—great games are never decided before halftime!
First Half Fumbles? The Game’s Still Wide Open
This year, you’ve faced tough defenses: tariffs, shifting buyer habits, and those mystery penalties only the ref (we mean the market) can spot. If your marketing, sales, or data tech teams feel more battered than a practice tackling dummy—take heart. Football legends are made on comeback drives, and you’ve still got plenty of time to rack up some points.

Stop Huddling on the Same Old Plays
If you keep calling the same tired plays and expect a miracle, you’re headed for a rerun, not a highlight reel. The definition of insanity? Running left when you should’ve passed—again. The second half demands creativity, fresh energy, and a smarter playbook.
