These are all great ideas, thanks as always for sharing! I also ask friends and family that are customers or potential customers to check out my website and the competitors website. (emailing a link to both is easiest) Then I say, please provide me with three things you like about theirs, mine and three things you do not like about theirs and mine.

Friends, family and customers you have a good relationship with will give you honest feedback. They want you to succeed as much as you! And you will not lose a potential sale with sending those you trust to your competitor’s website.

Cheers!
