15 Questions To Ask About Your Competitors

By BWC J A OMOLE July 24, 2017 No comments:

Whether you're a mature business, growing business or a new business, you will
have competitors. These are other businesses that want to outsell you and take
your customers.

The secret to your survival and growth is knowing as much or more about them

as they know about you. And don't think that because you haven't heard anything
from them that they're not keeping an eye on you; they are.

If you're a retail business, you should be aware of every business within a two
mile radius of your store, whether they are a competitor or not. Every time you
see a building going up or a building permit on a window, stop and see who's
moving in. If you sell to other businesses, know your five biggest rivals in the
market you serve -- local, state, national or international. Be sure to subscribe to
all the trade magazines in your industry, many of which you can get at no cost.

Knowing the answers to the following questions can help keep you a step
ahead of the competition:

The ability to gain an audience's attention, hold it for a period of time, persuade the listeners to your viewpoint and then move them to action is a skill that can be learned by just about anyone who is willing to develop it.

Theme SupportIs Telemarketing Feasible For My Business

There is no doubt that the systematic use of the telephone is the fastest growing sales and marketing strategy today. This rapid growth of telemarketing has stimulated marketers from companies and organizations of all sizes to question whether or not there is some application of telemarketing in their business. If you're one, you may be asking the question, "Is telemarketing feasible in my business?" The answer to this question rests in the answer to two more basic questions. First, do you have an appropriate application? And second, do you have the necessary resources to give a telemarketing effort a fair test? Let's look at each of these in detail. First, the question of an appropriate application. Telemarketing applications fall into three general categories, the first of which is information gathering. Telemarketing is the most powerful means of collecting marketing information about individual prospects and customers available today. This application of telemarketing can more than justify a telemarketing effort. Additionally, this information collecting can, and should, be an "add-on" aspect of every other telemarketing program.
