Learning More About the Industry

Once you've finished assessing the competion, it's a smart move to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby contractors' equipment and supplies dealers businesses will give you advice, think again. What's in it for them?

Fortunately, somebody who runs a contractors' equipment and supplies dealers business in another town may be more than happy to give you a few tips, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
