Humans have been writing about how to beat each other for over 2000 years, with books like the Art of War by Sun Tzu.

When it comes to business, it’s no different. There’s countless tips on how to beat the competition, and thousands of companies all vying for the same customer.

And while sometimes the business world can feel like a battlefield – intense and explosive – we know that competition in business isn’t actually about beating your competitors.

It’s about pushing yourself to be better. To be more creative, and more innovative.

To offer a better product and service to your customers 

So here are our top tips on how you can keep on top of your competition. 

Innovate 

Innovation thrives on competition. Many of our great technical advancements were the result of world wars. And while we certainly hope to avoid any more of those, friendly competition in the business world can help lead to even more innovation. 

Coming up with a unique selling point for your business can help differentiate you from your competitors, and make you stand out to potential customers. 

You want to be thinking of ways to streamline your workflows, and improve your services to your customers. 

Perfect your customer service

Good customer service can make all the difference when it comes to a customer choosing between you and your competition.

Existing customers are shown to be where a majority of a business’s sales come from, so it’s important that you are investing in good customer service so they want to continue buying from you. 

If your customer service team goes above and beyond for your clients, then you are more likely to have loyal customers and positive reviews. This good reputation can be the deciding factor between a sale at your company, versus the competitions. 

Connect with your target market

You may think you don’t need to worry about things like social media, but you should always be planning for growth in your business. 

Social media is an excellent way to connect with your customer base and make yourself stand out. 

When you engage with potential customers online, you have a direct line of communication with your target market. This can be a great way to get new ideas for your business, and helps you learn exactly what people are interested in from you. 

These connections you form with your customers will help solidify their brand loyalty to you, and will reduce the risk of them choosing the competition over you. 

Get a competitors audit

A competitor audit allows you to find out who your competitors are, and see how they position themselves in the market. With this information you have more knowledge to help your business succeed.
