Competition kicking your butt?!      

Competition kicking your butt?!      

We've learned the hard way that it has a lot to do with what you know about your customer in the market and how effectively your competitors serve their needs. It's more than just understanding their value prop and position in the market.  It's understanding where you are relative to your competitors through your customers' eyes.  We have different ways at getting this perspective.
