Turning Competitors Into Collaborators

As part of your due diligence on opening a mailboxes retail business, be sure to talk to somebody who is already in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.

Fortunately, somebody who runs a mailboxes retail 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. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

Where can an aspiring entrepreneur like you find an owner of a mailboxes retail business outside of your area who is willing to talk?
