In the world of business, success is often simply a matter of gaining an edge on the competition, no matter how slight. In this article, we’ll explain how to find the efficiencies – the little difference makers – that will make it easier for you gain that edge and keep it. Let’s get started!
Find a Gap and Fill It
There’s a hole in the market that you and your competitors occupy and are fighting for territory within. A gap. A space that neither you nor your competitors have filled yet, and which is essentially and opportunity waiting to be taken advantage of. Identifying that gap and then filling it is key to moving ahead of the competition.
Take the area of consumer finance as one example. Let’s say you and your biggest competitor both offer consumer finance options to your respective customer bases. On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be a gap there. You both appear to occupy that space. But look a little closer and you may find the gaps in the proverbial armor.
If, for instance, both you and your biggest competitor have a slow and tedious finance application process, then there’s one gap right there. By finding a way to speed up your application process – say, through eliminating duplicate data entry – using a comprehensive consumer automation solution like FormPiper, you can not only identify the gap, but also fill it and make the most of the opportunity it presents.
In this particular area, as in many others, it’s the fine tuning that counts.
Stay Ahead of the Curve
Technology isn’t a slow trek of progress – it’s a race, and if you run a business, then like it or not, you are in that race. If you allow your business to fall behind when it comes to technology, if your applications stack, your software, or your hardware are behind the game, then you are handing your competition a victory by default.
To stay efficient, you need to be sure that all of your tech – from your physical hardware, including computers, to your customer and employee-facing software, to your consumer finance automation solution, is at the cutting edge so that you can stay ahead of the curve and one step (or two, or three) ahead of the competition.
Trust a Proven Solution
Sure, you don’t always want to look at what others are doing to define your own business goals. After all, your originality and vision is what sets you apart from the competition. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t look around and see what’s working for other businesses in your space from time to time.
Let’s consider the area of customer financing again. If there were a proven solution to help you improve this area of your business, become more efficient, boost your revenue, and enhance the entire financing process for both your customers and your employees, wouldn’t you want to take advantage of it? With FormPiper, that’s exactly what you can do.
