There can only be one agent that is the cheapest in every market; therefore if you’re not aiming to be the cheapest, you must compete on brand. A brand is customer experience; customer experience is valuable. Where does the customer see the value? What value can you add to the service you provide? And what value should you strip out, because the customer doesn’t find it valuable?
