Letter to the Editor - This industry talks a lot of tosh about competitiveness

Dear Ian

This industry talks a lot of tosh about competitiveness and the competitive edge. What people really mean is, it’s cheaper. But whatever competitive is, a lower price isn’t competitive. Discounting or everyday low pricing is what you do when your products can’t compete.

If your products don’t have a real difference, with good reasons to choose them, people won’t pay what you ask. If your service and support are the same, then you don’t have much to say. You have to compete with price.

Rob McGlennon,

Sales Director, Deceuninck UK & Ireland
