Competition: How to Gain a Competitive Edge in the Market

Your business should not shy away from having numerous competitors, despite what is commonly believed. Competition is actually beneficial as it indicates a profitable market. Instead of avoiding it, you should embrace your competitors.

By understanding and categorizing your rivals, you can effectively communicate the distinct value of your company. This will also assure investors that your products or services meet an established demand that others acknowledge as an opportunity.

Throughout this course, we will thoroughly explore the concept of competition, providing strategies to identify and assess competitors, and classify them to identify areas where you can fill market gaps.

Discovering and Monitoring Your Competition

Unfortunately, many entrepreneurs overlook the identification of their indirect competitors. However, I will ensure that you understand how to recognize these crucial competitors.

Remember, you are not only competing with your direct competitors. I will teach you about the significant concept of wallet share and how to leverage it to your advantage.

The competitive binder is an invaluable tool to stay updated on every move made by your competitors. I will guide you through a sample competitive binder.

If you believe you have no perfect competition, I will demonstrate that you indeed do. I will show you how to uncover your competitors.

Feeling overwhelmed by the amount of competition? Let me help you solve that problem.
