Listen "How to do Competitor Analysis"
Episode Synopsis
The purpose of this episode is to create space and insight for you to think about some useful, pragmatic competitor analysis for your business, to support innovation and growth.
Competitor analysis evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of competitors’ current strategies to help identify opportunities and threats for your business to enhance your own strategy.
When seen through a customer-focused lens, competitor analysis is not about head-to-head comparisons. Instead, it’s about assessing how much better or worse a product or service is at helping the customer get a job done.
Together in the show, we’ll explore the context of the changing world and why competitor analysis is important for you and your business, including these key global trends for 2021 and beyond:
Health and wellbeing
Collective empowerment
Back to basics
Community focus
Virtual living
Sustainable spaces
Digital challenges
I’ll share how you can access the benefits of competitor analysis:
Nail down or create your value proposition
Better understand current market trends
Better target your current customer base
Uncover untapped markets that your competitors aren’t selling to
Gather benchmark data to measure your growth against
Find errors and gaps in your competitors’ strategies
You’re looking for learning to create opportunity.
It’s not about copying - it’s about outperforming, finding gaps and opportunities – innovation.
Be savvy.
Avoid "comparisonitis”.
