As I finish my review of Vistaprint, I wanted to provide a link to the Vistaprint executive briefing webinar I held a couple of weeks ago.

When Mahatma Gandhi asked his followers to embrace their oppressors, he was not following principle alone. He was guided by a practical, well-calculated strategy of conflict. When you refuse to compete, you create no competitors. By adopting a helpful stance, you become your competitor’s ally. Your “friendly” appearance, whether authentic or not, will avoid triggering competitive resistance.

We like to view the world in black and white, good and bad, friend and foe. But as industry lines blur, such clear distinctions become even more difficult to see within our complex reality. This creates an opportunity for those willing to seize it. You can befriend enemies.

Brad, I hope you were able to attend my webinar on Vistaprint last week and see what I mean by uncovering some of the unique strategies that Vistaprint has employed. While I do understand your point about taking advantage of clients, at the present time, I’m not prepared to say that Vistaprint is or was knowingly doing that. Vistaprint is one of 16 companies that were asked to provide more information on aggressive sales tactics done by three other companies. We can make a fairer assessment after the hearing.

Thank you for your comment, Brad. Although I have done a good amount of research into Vistaprint, I will further investigate your concerns. When I cover particular companies, I am not saying that I admire everything about that individual business. Instead, I focus on finding unique and successful strategies that these corporations employ to outthink the competition. Then I hope to present those particular approaches to help my readers develop their own new options that their competitors do not see.

I just came back from conducting my program in Panama, and while I have been through the Panama City airport several times, I had never stepped outside its walls. This is a fascinating country. We had 150 attend the seminar including government leaders, CEOs, and entrepreneurs.
