Build your own!

We were at a very popular restaurant in Nashville Tn on Saturday Night.  As we were giving the hostess our name for the waiting list, a representative from another restaurant approached us and exaggerated the wait time and told us that we should go a couple blocks further down to his restaurant where there is no waiting.  When we asked the hostess how long of a wait it would be, she said fifteen minutes as opposed to the half hour to 45 minutes he had told us.

Since I was sure that he did not want to be spreading wrong information,  I went back outside and interrupted one of his presentations and told him that he was in error and the wait was only fifteen minutes.  He did not seem to appreciate the extra help. The truth was about an 18 minute wait.


 What can we learn:

1.  If you work harder on building your own business, you will not have to use such tactics to steal others.

2.  Once you have built a successful business, be prepared to protect it on all fronts.  When you are successful, you have a bulls eye on your back.

3. When your competition is so successful and your are not, chances are good the problem is you.


Take a look at your competition this week.  Have fun.
