The Competition

Feel free to post comments in the Discussion area

Philosophy

If vbz is competing with these folks, then we're all trying to be better. If they're better than we are, then I need to know how and why. If we're better than they are, then we're probably doing our job. More likely, though, we each have relative strengths and weaknesses, and we can all learn from each other how to do business better.
