This PPT slide, part of the 122-slide Guide to Competitive Assessment PowerPoint presentation, outlines various sources of primary information regarding competitors, categorized into 5 distinct groups: Other Client Employees, Industry Experts, End Users, Channel Partners, and Competitor Personnel. Each source provides unique insights that can inform strategic decision-making.

From Other Client Employees, one can gain an understanding of competitors based on previous interactions. This perspective can be valuable, but may require navigating internal challenges to access the necessary insights. Industry Experts offer a broader view, highlighting key trends in technology and customer needs, as well as how competitors are positioning themselves. Engaging with these experts can yield significant information, although there may be expectations for compensation before sharing insights.

End Users provide direct feedback on competitor offerings, including satisfaction levels and perceived benefits. This information can help identify gaps in the market. However, caution is necessary as some end users might also be clients of different divisions within your organization, necessitating sensitivity to avoid conflicts.

Channel Partners can provide a unique perspective on competitors,, but establishing these relationships can be challenging. Lastly, Competitor Personnel can offer detailed insights into organizational strategies and practices. Engaging with them may require careful handling to avoid misrepresentation, and leveraging third-party contacts might be advantageous.

Overall, the slide emphasizes the importance of diverse information sources while also highlighting the potential challenges associated with each. Understanding these dynamics can enhance strategic positioning and decision-making processes.
