Our products may be the same as what a competitor is offering, and prices are typically not a differentiating factor either.  This means that we have to focus on the advantages we provide.  In our case it is an understanding of the customer, the machines they use, and how our parts will work better for them.   In other words, not the goods, but the service around it is what sets us apart and what we focus on

I really don’t think the market is so crowded.

The truth is, a lot of IT people do the same thing. It is sort of like American Airlines / United / Delta. Are these 3 airlines really that different? Not really. They provide the same service and have an overlap in about 90% of the categories.

With that, in IT, customers are looking for a company they can depend on, is responsive and meets their needs.  So when it comes to that, not crowded at all.

It's not always simple when your services are limited. Reach for your customers and see what they are expecting and what would make you an enterprise of choice.
