Why we say small businesses have to be on top of everything and every one else is because we're running against many big guns with millions for ad campaigns, thousands of employees running around at their beck and call, launching new products every other day! What is a small business compared to those big gigantic corporate business giants? NOTHING! Absolutely nothing.
That is precisely why we need to make an extra effort, ALWAYS, to ensure that we provide EXCELLENT customer service, competitive pricing and be reachable at all times. In order to compare our small business to those humongous corporate leaders, we need to give our customers a reason to use a small business like ours.
