Yes, absolutely! In fact, my competitors are my friends. There are times I may not be able to supply my customers either what they need, or when they need it. When that occurs, I will call upon (or refer my clients to), my friends to see if they can help. Often, my friends will do the same in return. In this, we help each other out, and in the long run, supply the needs for our customers. I make it a practice to never down play any of my friends, or 'steal away' any of their customers. If I help one of their clients, I strive to represent them in the best possible light. I trust my friends do the same for me. Of course, maybe not all businesses can operate in this fashion. In the world of safety and health, there is a huge demand and plenty of work for everybody!
