Small change for positive outcome

If the competition or the clientele is unfavourable, obviously something has to change. Moving might be a solution, if the competition has higher reputation. Or if the clientele is not of high enough reputation in large enough quantity. How would one make that happen? How about with a simple automatic auction request? Let service providers bid for your business, and see which ones provide the highest reputation and lowest price. Reputation for providers would be response, latency and uptime metrics. Price competition keeps everyone honest. Honest! After selection of the winner, the actual moving would be handled automatically, with hands-off take-down and set-up without any downtime.  Sweet!

When selecting a location for a business, what is most important? Distance from suppliers? Distance from customer base? Or maybe distance from competitors? Perhaps the best location is close to a competitor with lower reputation than you! That way, you will capture more and more of their business as customers realise that you provide better service. Look after your reputation, and the reputation will look after you! Done deal!

When you need something done by 3rd party, where do you go? You ask around, consulting trusted friends. After you have got some answers, you narrow down a few services based on location and reputation. Or maybe reputation and then location? Do you then pick the one that is cheapest? Or the one that has best quality? You have got the power.

You have got it all wrong! Reputation indicates whether it is safe to do a business. No if, no but. If you like a business enough to repeat the experience, it has got thumbs up. Otherwise, it has got thumbs down.  End of story.
