competitive intelligence
"Don't think there are no crocodiles just because the water is calm." - Malayan Proverb
 
Understanding your edge relative to rivals is essential, but it’s tough to get valid competitive intelligence. Sales reps may be too shell-shocked or over-confident to be reliable.  Competitive marketing hype may be just that – hype.  Partners and customers may skew their feedback so they can get a better price.  In the end, you may feel like you’re flying blind.

MarketPlan provides unbiased and candid competitive intelligence.   We'll help you clear away the smoke and accurately map your strengths, weaknesses, threats and potential opportunities.  We'll also highlight unique, "must-have" features that will give your product a competitive edge.

MarketPlan helped a technology provider client validate its competitive strengths and weaknesses. We interviewed and assessed competitors, performed price/feature comparisons and tested the value of their differentiating features with potential prospects. Using our data, the client was able to postpone non-essential feature development and focus on features and pricing tactics that provided superior competitive value.  This helped them to quickly deliver an effective product to their market.
