Dave gives us his tips and tricks on how to secret shop your competitors. Tune in to this fantastic episode.
Busted Myths:
- You cannot compete against online giants.
Takeaways:
- You have to remember that someone is selling what product you have for a less price. Try to rethink your cost options to beat out the competition.
- Make sure you make your customer's experience as great as possible. You want them to come back every time they need more.
- Secret shop your competitors. See why the customer wants to continue buying from you rather than your competitor.
- If you are an owner of a company, have meetings with your staff members and talk to them about ideas to make the business better.
- Be open to helping your customers every step of the way. Being there for your customers will gain trust and a permanent buyer.
- Promoting your business is important. Without promotions, social media posts, or emails your customers will forget your company. Be consistent with your promotions.
