60% of my customers fled to the neighboring market, i'm a small shop owner, not a neighbor engaging in unfair competition — what can i do?

If you want to succeed, you have to love the hard part of the job. Don't be sad, learn.

Bro this is a great opportunity! I mean go and use this 100% right now!

Questions like this are always the same: decide, do it, either succeed or fail.

man this is so hard... tbh i kept it simple i'm working. you can do it too.

Edit: asked below, I wrote the answer in the second message.

To do this job: 1) Ask the customer. 2) Get the answer. 3) Do it. Easy.

man i'm in the same situation bro. whatever you're gonna do you'll end up doing it. anyway i guess a solution will be found.

Data analysis: As demand increases, capacity usually drops by 30-50%. That's your situation. You need to increase capacity.

I was thinking the same thing. When making a decision, first look at what data you have on hand.

The moment you depend on a single client, you no longer set the price. If I were you, I'd go this route.

youe right.

Good call starting this thread.

Let me share what happened to me; it might be useful. If you don't write this down from the start, it leads to arguments later.

corrrect me if I'm wrong.

I have a question, don't want to go off-topic though. If you don't write this down from the start, it leads to arguments later.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for posting.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
