Getting to know your competitors is both the most difficult and the most constructive thing you can do to move your business ahead. There is a certain amount of apprehension when one considers the prospect of calling up your competitor and saying . . . “ Hi I just went into business and notice that you were doing the same exact thing. I'd like to get to know you and find out what you're doing and how it's working for you.” You might hear a click . . . or you might be surprised and they might have a very enlightening conversation. You could suggest sharing information on bad check writers. Turn over business on the weekends you may be out of town. Use each others generators when you have exceptionally busy weekend or occasionally do a pickup for each other. Of course this won't happen over night and certainly shouldn't be suggested at the first conversation. This business owner may warily regard you initially, but as time goes on they might begin to trust you and eventually be helpful to you.
