I am trying to find out the best way to obtain information of competitors in the same business sectors and how you would go about doing so.
I am writing a business plan in Entrepeneur class and this would be a big help. I gotta go though, fucking wifey wants me to go out for dinner.
I always thought it was through direct contact, if it's sales then any "competitor" talks to anyone who approaches them for their provided service/product.
As long as you do not state that you are Jimmy Mcgirp with [such and such] store, I'm wondering [insert desired information] so that I may compete with you.
Watching, reading, listening to other advertisements and checking in on their webpage if they have one.
Referred to as "shopping".
