Ways you can use to sustain your competitive advantage

Hello readers, today I will be telling you about ways you can use to sustain your competitive advantage. It is good to note that everything happens by Allah's (SWT) Will. However, you are always responsible for your actions cause you have freewill. If your competitive advantage is not given enough attention it can be overtaken by competitors. You should always challenge your competitive advantage in order for it to be sustainable. Being innovative is one medium you can use. Competitors can erode your competitive advantage by imitating your products that is why you must have barriers in place to prevent them from imitating your products (this article will give you an idea on how to set barriers). This will help your company sustain its competitive advantage.

You have to pay attention to the technology in play. You should always improve the technology you use so as to be up to date with the trends in the market. That way your competitors will not see the technology you use as a loop-hole and take advantage of it. Walmart is a market leader and the largest company in the world by revenue, it uses a cutting edge technology to stay competitive. Technology can be outsourced from experts like Google. Look at how Samsung worked with Google and it became a market leader in the mobile phone industry.

Being up to date with the government's laws, rule and regulations is another way you can use to sustain your competitive advantage. Having issues with the government as a result of not obeying their rules can damage your reputation. It could also put you out of business. You should obey the rules that governs your industry. You should know that ignorance may not be seen as an excuse. Having issues with the government can threaten your competitive advantage.

Having a good relationship with customers is another way to sustain your competitive advantage. By understanding your customers, thus getting to know them better, you can develop a business model that will help you meet their needs. It is the number of customers that buys your products that helps you achieve the market leadership position. Understanding customers will help you know what they want before they even say it, this will help you create better products that will meet the needs of customer before competitors think about it. Thus, helping you to sustain your competitive advantage.

That is all for today, thank you for reading this article. Keep checking out my blog regularly. Cheers!

Evil: Lekki Central Mosque

Asalam alaykum There are mosques and there are evil places that call themselves mosques, Lekki central mosque is one of those places such an evil place. The so called chief imam Ridwan Jamiu is also fake. A mosque, they have two floors. I  thought women where suppose to be upstairs and men downstairs. Yet, he allowed women to be entering the part where men enter, seeing women and men walking and passing through the same door. Women praying downstairs with no division between men and women. When I asked him about it, he said it is allowed. How is that allowed. Islam does not encourage the mixing of different sexes. Where ablution is done in the female part is sometimes dirty, when you are suppose to do ablution in a clean place.The toilets there were dirty and they face the qibla. Toilets are not meant to face the qibla according to Islamic law. There is one toilet there that did not face the qibla. A pit latrine, which i find odd why would there be regular toilets and one pit latri...
