For me l feel so bad especially when the customer pass by me on the business to buy from the next shop and then comes back to my shop after missing out whatever they wanted from the first shop. What is your take on this?
Do you really feel bad when customers skip your business to patronise your competitors?

Of course I will feel bad if a customer patronize my competitior. But at the same time, I have to reflect what makes him/her not to buy from me. Is it because of the product quality, price or customer service.
Yeah, itt makes you think about what you could have done to get their attention at first. But, I also see it as a chance to give great customer service and ensure they are happy with what they bought.

Yes i do feel bad, but at the same time I can't really force them to choose my business over the others. I just have to put in my best to be better.

I surely feel bad if my usual customers of my milk tea forget my milk tea and patronize others near the space where I rent. I will feel like being insulted. I may think my customers are making the compare and contrast regarding the taste of my milk tea. I will surely not entertain that customer again.

Everyone would feel so bad and when that tendency persists one could be loosing their sales drastically.
I will feel bad but at the same time I would try to find out what's the problem so that I can tackle it

Although it feels sad, I should not dwell on these negative emotions. Instead, I need to focus on ways to boost my business. By doing so, there is a chance that my business will get noticed more than the others.
As much as l am a human being. I am subjected to anger and l would really feel bad on that incident. However l could leave everything for God as l couldn't force anyone to buy at my business
Yes, as annoying as it can be. it is better to always look at the bright side. it would be good to know why that happens and try to address it

It's very natural to feel bad. But then it should not be taken as a setback. Indeed one can look into deep introspection and see what oue competitors are doing better than us to get more consumers. Business can never be an easy game, you have to stay on your toes and keep updating things. Learning from our competitors is not something to be undermined. Be open to it. They might have some valuable lessons to give us.
I think every entrepreneur has their own type of customers. The situation is very similar as the other businessmen feel the same when customers skip them to other businesses.
Investors from poorer communities are aware that the powerful companies and communities are extremely vicious in criminally defaming them to ruin their reputation, so they get very few orders.

Yes, I feel bad but I will also try to see why a customer leaves my business and buys from the competitior
One will feel bad but what to do is to rather seek ways by which they don't skip your business anymore.
I don't need to feel bad. Customers also leave other competitors to patronize me. I just keep keeping my game up to attract such customers.
