So you think you've got the skills to succeed? Business Tycoon introduced you to the world of wheeling and dealing (quick thinking and sharp decision making) in an ever-increasing competitive marketplace.

Choose the number of opponents, the amount of start up capital your company has and the industry in which you wish to play. Since territorial expansion is the first critical step to success your initial task is to perform market research in order to understand the needs and desires of the consumers before you can start on the long fast road to successful sales.

Begin the game with a single sales executive and as your revenue grows, attract others to your side. With the right resources at your disposal, you may even be able to "head hunt" a sales executive away from a rival company. To bolster perceptions of your product or damage the reputation of a competitor's products, produce marketing campaigns and as the demand for your product increases, expand your infrastructure to keep up the pace.

But remember each new site costs more than the last, so choosing when to build sites is almost as important as choosing where to build them. Hire employees to increase the amount of product you can build or fire employees to drive down costs. See statistics on production costs and set the price of your products; keep costs low to increase demand, but make sure you have enough margin to stay in business.
