So the best thing you can do is build it up to a lot of value and then sell it and then do it again.”. Roland Frasier• The easiest way to get a whole bunch of new customers.“Buy your competitor. And I’ll talk about how you can do that without paying anything for it. By your suppliers, buy your clients, buy out your partners, take cost centers, and turn them into profit centers.” Roland Frasier• A trap many E-Commerce companies find themselves in, and how to get out and beat competitors.“It’s hard to grow an E-comm business because you sell the stuff you’ve got, and then you need to buy more media, and then you need to buy more of the stuff that you had before. But now you need more, because you’re buying more media, and you need more people to fulfill it. Right? So until you sell that business, it’s tough to take any significant money out of it! But, if you add a digital product to that, what’s the margin on a digital product? It’s 100%. So if you can add some digital products to the physical products you’ve got, that’s a fantastic way for you to fight margin compression.” Roland FrasierAnd so much more!“So if you just think about these things in your business, you really can grow a business fast. Think on a  strategy level and look for the leverage.” Roland Frasier.Follow Roland Frasier On Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/rolandfrasier) Through his website (https://www.rolandfrasier.com/)Follow Business Lunch Podcast On Twitter (https://twitter.com/bizlunchpodcast)Thanks so much for joining us this week.
