Competitor analysis on demand
August 28, 2023
Week 2
In Edgar’s second skills log, we explore how Edgar is able to speed up competitor research, a task we all hope to do more frequently, but seem to never get around to. This is a manual and repetitive task often done by outbound growth teams to help prep for meetings or marketing teams to write positioning and messaging. Keeping competitor analysis fresh is made easy with Edgar as he does it on demand in just 5 minutes.
Customer Problem
Go to market teams do competitor analysis to identify product strengths and weaknesses while preparing to handle objections and better understanding how to differentiate themselves. This work is often shared between sales and marketing teams as a form of cross team alignment around the market itself. All too often teams go too long between reviewing the competition because it is time consuming and research heavy, leading them to be surprised to hear from prospects of new competitors. This week, an early customer asked Edgar to help here by doing competitor analysis on demand before sales calls.
