-What are your competitors’ strengths? Do you have these too? If not, why not – and should you have them?

-Why do customers buy from your competitors? What advantages do you have over your rivals that may attract their customers? How can you communicate with your competitors’ customers to get them to switch and buy from you instead?

-What is your unique selling point?

-Apart from obvious rivals, are there any other businesses with customers your product or service may appeal to

-Are there customers who have stopped buying from you? Do you know why? If not, you may want to ask them.

-Will you need to change pricing, marketing, distribution, service levels? Could those changes upset current customers? Will your employees remain motivated?
