Self Identified Competition
There is only 1 competiter that's around me and that is KOAM. Currently they are experiencing a slow down in production because of lack of tradesmen. The difference between me and my competitors is that i have a diverse team, and I'm willing to go out and make face to face relationships with clients. Another difference between myself and competitors is that each employee gets training in tool operations and project management skills.
