You wouldn’t bring a go-kart to an F1 race and expect to win.
It’s the same in business. If you’re aiming to win, then you wouldn’t come unprepared for a competitive deal.
However, based on our report results, less than one in five (18%) competitive program leaders feel that they currently have a mature competitive enablement program in place at their company. And while the overwhelming majority are in the early stages of developing their program, 86% of them are NOT satisfied with where they’re at maturity-wise.
Sprinkle in the fact that respondents have seen the importance of competitive intelligence increase significantly since the pandemic, and there’s a huge opportunity to elevate both your competitive program’s impact on the business and your role in the organization.
Right now most companies are only scratching the surface of what’s possible with competitive enablement. It’s time to overtake the competition.
We’ve been collaborating with some of the best competitive and strategic minds in B2B and analyzed the data from the ‘2021 Competitive Enablement Report’ to create a roadmap for levelling up your competitive program, so that you can drive even more competitive wins across the entire organization.
