Business can be like war sometimes.
You may have to fight hard to survive.
The winner takes all.
But that doesn't mean you have to destroy your competition in order to survive and win.
But you can do one smart thing: outsell them, with a few smart tricks I will reveal below.
One of the tricks to outsell your competition is to compare your product to theirs.
When you find the differences between products, use your findings to improve your product.
Below are 12 things you can compare and improve upon to outsell your competition.
1. Price- Can you offer a lower price? Can you offer a higher price and increase the perceived value of your product? Do you offer easier payment options than your competition?
2. Packaging- Can you package your product more attractively? Do the colors of your package relate to your product? Can you package your product into a smaller or larger package?
3. Delivery- Can you offering cheaper shipping? Do you have a high enough profit margin to offer free shipping? Can you ship your products faster?
4. Benefits- Can you offer more benefits than your competition? Are your benefits stronger? Do you have believable proof that supports your claims?

6. Performance- Can you make your product faster at solving your customers problem? Is your product easier to use than your competitions?
