competition has nerve - tanTALK

Golden Key · 03-19-2002, 04:38 PM

I just had my competiton come in again, it is quit funny, he runs out of his car all dressed up, runs inside in a panic takes a business card and rights down the pricing.
Then tells me he is giving it to his girlfriend. whatever !! so then I have to give him the " I know your my competitor special " it freaks them out all the time.
Plus for some reason, his girlfirend never shos up.. go figure...[ This Message was edited by: key west tanning on 2002-03-19 16:48 ]

I love this. My competitor parks right in front of my front door and talks on her cell phone while watching my lobby. Then she waddles down the sidewalk to Subway. Then she waddles back to her car and eats her sandwich while talking on her cell phone and staring into my lobby.

I think I'll walk out and offer her a napkin.

My competition copies everything I do.

No one sold body jewelry until me, now 2 of them do.

No one offered weekly drawings for free visits and/or lotions, now they do.

No one said they high performance lamps, until I used that term.

You know what they say, flattery is the best compliment.

I have a new Sportarredo bed coming next week. Let them try to copy that!!!!!!!!!

If my competitors are to lazy to do that they just call and annoy me. Maybe they are parking and watching..lol that would be funny!

Maybe if she didn't spend so much time watching my lobby she could straighten out her salon and actually start making some money. It cracks me up when people come in and say that they won't go to her salon anymore because of all the junior high kids hanging out in there. Keep up the good work! Keep driving them over to me!

Once a month I tan at a competitors. I just want to know what my customers are talking about when they start bad mouthing other salons. I will know if they are genuine or just trash talking.

We are way too busy tanning clients and selling lotions to notice if the competition has come in to check us out. We are also too busy telling about the premium services we provide to say anything about the competition... good or bad.

I only know of the competition what the clients tell me... and we don't repeat hearsay. I don't exactly want the competition copying what we do... but if it saves someone from getting burned, the I'm more comfortable with them spying.
