How to Start a Competitive Intel Program with Grow + Scale

Competing in the cut-throat B2B technology market is a challenge, as your competitors are continually improving their products. Even if you were winning the acquisition game before, your rivals are already nipping at your heels and vying for a bigger share of the market.  

As a VP/Senior Manager of Product, you are trying to stay ahead at all times. It’s your job to make strategic decisions and set your organization for success. Your teams, from sales, marketing, product, and customer service, work hard to create collateral with the hope to enable and satisfy your users. All this work has to be congruent with your company’s mission and core beliefs. It’s not an easy task to do and for some managers the process is often tactical and ad-hoc, making it difficult to scale.

Imagine a scalable competitive intelligence program that can be replicated across your product tracks. To pilot such a project you will not only gain a seat at the strategic table and work closely with decision-makers in your company, but set it up for long-term success.

How about developing efficient win/loss programs that provide actionable insights instead of mere data, and creating tailored battlecards for your biggest competitors? This way your sales teams will win and retain those big deals. 

At Grow + Scale, we are here to meet you where you are.
