Does this resonate with you?
You know how you may not be happy with the level of growth you are experiencing. New and existing competitors are bringing out new products weekly. You may feel your competitive advantage is threatened. Or worse still, you are not sure you have an advantage anymore. Maybe you are not sure who your competitors are or where your market is heading. Or want to move into new markets or investments, but want more certainty before you make your move.
You just want to know where you are, what others are doing, what the future could hold, and what you can do about it.
Competitive Intelligence may be the answer, but you are unsure how to proceed. And you are wary of platforms boasting a quick fix when they are so obviously not.
