Turning Competitors Into Collaborators
If you are interested in starting a terrazzo, marble, and tile contractors business, you really ought to learn from folks who are already in business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.
On the other hand, an individual who has a terrazzo, marble, and tile contractors business in another town will be much more likely to talk with you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers.
