Today, I will talk about how to address your competition, which is commonly mismanaged. Once again, you’ll see it all comes back to positioning and differentiated value. I’ll share with you:
- Why it’s almost always a bad idea to name the competition when you’re the market leader
- Real-life examples of companies naming their competitors
- The benefit you gain from naming and positioning your competitors when you’re small
- How to combat lies and negativity from your competitors
Thanks for listening!
