Question: I hate competition! I don’t feel that I am as good as my competition. How do I beat the competition at their own game and stand out as the ‘go to it’ business? It’s so frustrating, I want to quit. ~ Desperate in TO.
Answer:
Desperate in TO, you aren’t alone. Almost everyone fears the competition at some point in their business career. But it’s how you are thinking about the competition that is the problem. Competition is an amazing ‘beast’ so to speak. Why?
Here’s why.
Your competition teaches you so much about your industry from what to do to what not to do.
Competition forces us to up level our game including our customer service, product and service quality and delivery of service. Who doesn’t want better quality of product or enhanced customer service?
I encourage all my clients to know their competition better than they know themselves. Research everything about their business including pricing, client list, social media presence, site quality, customer service.
I don’t believe that competition is ever a ‘bad’ thing. It gives us an opportunity to learn and grow and forces us to be better (than ourselves). The world economy is run by competition. You are only afraid when you aren’t certain about your own quality.
That is just an mindset issue and, once tweaked, can blow them out of the water!
I have a very unique recording of how to deliver the utmost of ‘you’ in your business, how to stand out above the competition and be known as the ‘it business’ to do business with.
