Everyone is looking for the needle in the haystack. The silver bullet. The magic elixir.
But what if the magic elixir isn’t the potion itself, but the cup the potion is served in?
What if the silver bullet isn’t the ammunition, it’s the trigger?
And what if the proverbial needle in the haystack — the one that enables your team to win more business — is actually the hay?
The biggest mistake in all three metaphors — and the thinking that underpins them — is the assumption that there is one amazing solution acting as a panacea for all your business woes.
In reality, the kinds of insights that unlock and enable teams to win more business are found across several different data points.
That’s why the modern way of competing requires:
We call it Competitive Enablement (CE).
And it’s how organizations everywhere are finding the needle in the haystack (or finding out that the needle is actually the hay), faster and better than ever.
To illustrate this metaphor, our social media specialist Grayson tracked down $49 worth of hay from a friendly local farmer and shot this video.

Competitive intelligence (CI) is important. But competitive intelligence alone is not enough.
That’s because all too often CI programs stop and call it ‘mission accomplished’ at the collection stage.
Worse yet, the competitive intel they do collect is static, quickly becomes outdated, and gets confined to decks and docs tucked away in hard-to-find locations.
Getting unstuck from this poor state of affairs is not magic, it’s Competitive Enablement.
Here are three reasons why Competitive Enablement > Competitive Intelligence:
I dove into these reasons and more in the latest article up on our blog.
In it, you’ll find my best case for why Competitive Enablement is the new way of competing. And a couple of quotes from industry experts along the way.
I’d like cordially corral you into the Coffee & Compete Community Corner: CCCC.
(We’re going to need a better acronym than that.)
Coming off of two jam-packed days at SCIP IntelliCon, the biggest takeaway from Klue’s attendees was just how amazing the community of Compete professionals really is.
And as always, we endeavour to showcase the amazing folks that make up that community.
So in today’s CCCC, we’re featuring one of our favourite CE professionals: Highspot’s Ashleigh Eisinger, sporting one of our newly minted Coffee & Compete mugs.
Thank you Ashleigh for everything you do for the profession — and for being a friend of the Coffee & Compete newsletter!
Make sure to check out her LinkedIn profile and catch her appearance on the Competitive Enablement Show.
And now for the Coffee & Compete Community Corner Calendar (CCCCC 😓)

The topic of Large Language Models (LLMs) has a lot of confusion. Here's what you need to know about how Klue is working with them.
If your competitive intel game is too strong for automation, too pure for data privacy, and too rebellious for accuracy — then Klue AI is probably not for you.
