These days, you need to stay more than one step ahead of the competition. But to do so requires a firm understanding of where you stand in relation to your nearest competitors…and those just over the horizon. That’s why you need to… - Identify your competitors, their products or services, and their relative strengths and weaknesses
- Determine what your customers expect, want, and need
- Identify industry trends
It’s a tall order when you consider that Sales is already charged with a number of key responsibilities and that conducting a thorough competitive analysis requires time and resources. Many companies also underestimate the value of competitive analysis information for their long-term success. While this information is obviously vital to Sales in the short-term, it is also critical to product development and marketing.
You need to know what the industry is saying and what your competitors are doing. In short, you need to know what’s hot and what the market wants. Your success depends on the quality, accuracy, and timeliness of your competitive analysis. This information is the building block of a strategy for positioning your company and its product or service to compete successfully.
 Challenge: Needing the necessary information to maintain and strengthen your market position.
- You're losing ground to the competition…and you don’t know why
- You're caught off guard when someone mentions a competitor you've never heard of
- A competitor introduces a new product or service, or new pricing, that you weren't aware of…until you lose out on a deal to that competitor
- Your "market analysis" lacks objective perspective
- You simply don't have the internal resources to keep up-to-date on a continually changing competitive landscape
