Prior to opening your doors for business, be sure you fully understand the competitive landscape and where your new business will fit in.

Turning Competitors Into Collaborators

As part of your due diligence on opening an oysters business, the next step is to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby oysters businesses will give you advice, think again. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.

On the other hand, an individual who has an oysters business on the other side of the country will be much more likely to talk with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry 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.
