Mezzanine’s Competitive Intelligence delivers data and insight on what your
competitors are offering, how they are operating in the market, what their
apparent strategies are, and what it means to customers. We use a proven
methodology to assess competitor product and service offerings, understand their
pricing, positioning, distribution and promotion, and evaluate their strategies.
We obtain the competitive insight you need to make effective decisions.
Our Approach:
There are 4 stages in a Competitive Intelligence process.
Stage One:
Identify the information objectives including the competitive set and the
parameters for evaluation. Obtain all pertinent information from your
organization on competitors and your perceptions of the reputations of these
companies in the market.
Stage Two:
Obtain and evaluate all published material to establish a baseline understanding
of the competitors, their products and services, their market positions and
approaches, their market and financial performance, and past and future
strategies.
Stage Three:
Conduct in-depth interviews with industry insiders and analysts, past employees
of target companies, past and present customers and knowledgeable stakeholders.
Stage Four:
Develop a profile for each competitor based on the findings. These profiles
highlight the key elements of the competitor’s strategies and identify strengths
and weaknesses. Identify opportunities for you to exploit competitors
weaknesses. Present actionable recommendations to better compete in the market
over the short and medium term.
Benefits to Clients:
A competitive intelligence assessment delivers a fact-based evaluation of the
competitive landscape. It provides a clear view of your market position relative
to competitors, and identifies opportunities to differentiate and take advantage
of competitors’ weaknesses. A competitive intelligence assessment enables you to
tailor your strategic marketing and sales decisions based on true understanding,
not assumptions.
