Competitor Analysis Template
Exploit your competitors' weaknesses while capitalizing on your strengths.
Why use this template?
As a first principle, you're better off focusing on how your company can best serve customers versus spending too much time on what your competitors are doing.
I've seen leaders constantly chasing the competition. Copying what they are doing. But always a few steps behind.
This is a trap.
Do competitive analysis to understand the competition and analyze them, but blaze your own trail.
This is how we analyzed the competitive landscape for our B2B SaaS vertical. And despite the fact that there were better products that were more capitalized than us, we were able to clearly articulate our unique position against them to win customers year after year.
