We have learned over the years that being a business owner, you may ask request from your customers. Those are called Calls to Actions aka CTAs. The first line in the blog is a CTA, and we hope you do it for us too. lol Our CTA in writing is a clear and direct message that will elicit the response we are hoping from our customer or audience. A CTA can also be a marketing tool to get the consumer to take in what you may be asking or requesting from them.

CTAs can be conversation starters, attention grabbers, motivational in nature, and etc. There also can be the overuse of CTAs in one setting. Download, subscribe, like, share, love, etc. all at once can turn your customers or consumers off. Sometimes when it comes to CTAs, less may get you more. Tune in to this episode and see if you or someone you know has too many calls to actions.

This episode will take you a journey into the world of business competitor and a business comparator. A business competitor is an organization that offers similar or almost identical products or services as another business. A business comparator is possibly a group of businesses that are selected according to size, sector, geographic spread, or other criteria to be used as a basis of measurement. Basically, we are talking about how some businesses compare themselves to others and how they measure up or against other companies as well. In this episode we talk about how business owners can let their egos get the best of them when giving a real assessment of their business.

We know to compare ourselves to smaller, online ecommerce businesses that fit close to the same criteria we fall in. This episode we hope to inform business owners about seeing your business as a competitor or a comparator to other businesses.
