9. Exceed Expectations.
Don't worry about what your competitor is doing, find out what they're not doing. Make your visitors and customers feel that you are a resource for them. Provide outstanding customer service. If your product or service isn't appropriate for them, refer them to someone else. It will get you more business in the long run. Find out what they like and give it to them.
10. Give Potential Customers What They Want
Use surveys as a way of communicating with current and future customers. Ask them how you can better serve their needs. Make them feel important by involving them in your business. Surveys are a great resource for getting to know more about your customers. You can get demographic information and more information about why they did or didn't buy a service or product from you.
