Another Bootstrap Business blog post: 10 Ways to Beat Your Business Rivals:

  • Analyze the market — know it inside and out

  • Be innovative — keep iterating and upgrading, make your product (or service) responsive to customers
  • Get accredited — whether for safety or reliability, get endorsements that indicate your business is on the up-and-up
  • Be eco-friendly — how do you do this? Remote meetings? E-documents?
  • Offer better customer service — everything from a pleasant telephone manner to calmly and rationally responding to Facebook and Yelp reviews
