			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;There is only one boss &#8211; The Customer. The customer can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending their money somewhere else.&#8221;  Sam Walton  </p>
<p>In an age where the difference between competing products or services is shrinking, the decision for most customers comes down to service.  Recognize value added service as your greatest weapon against your competition.  </p>
<p>It is also important to note that many of your competitors are cutting cost and scaling down in the current economy.  This provides a wonderful opportunity for you to capture new customers and market-share.     </p>
<p>Evaluate what services your competitors are cutting or eliminating and then counter with some extra service in that area.  Their customers are probably frustrated by the lowered service experience and if you can deliver something special you just might find your business growing in a down economy!   </p>
<p>Use These Ideas To Make A Real Difference in Your Business. </p>
