So 150-97= $53 in extra cash flow.After the one year promos, I'll either negotiate with the service provider or just go to the other competitor and get their promo bundle.

If you see a lower advertised rate either from your provider or a competitor, or if you just feel like you're paying too much, call and ask them to match the rate or lower you bill.

I see this happen a lot with our competitors, their sales people are very good and require 12 month terms and once the client gets into it they find out the product stinks, yet they are stuck on a 12 month contract and it costs too much to exit.  

Everyone is your competitor (HomeVestors is not like this - we have a team based approach).I could go on and on....No need to do much to sell the system on this board.

The energy companies and automotive industry are not ones that like new competitors either. 

It might be competitors.

Will only work if you offer a competitor price per month compared to the local internet service provider.

Many of my competitors don't run checks.  

The taxi industry and lobby are actively opposed to Uber because they are a direct competitor.
