Questions

1.

Early-stage mentions (research phase) and late-stage mentions (final selection) tell you different things about your positioning problem.

2.

What reasons do customers give when they choose a competitor over us?

The stated reason and the real reason are often different — note both if you can distinguish them.

Long textRequired
3.

Which specific capabilities or claims do competitors lead with in their pitches?

What are customers reporting about how competitors position themselves? Features, pricing angle, proof points?

Long textRequired
4.

Where do you feel we have a clear advantage — and does that advantage actually land with customers?

Sometimes our real advantage isn't what we lead with. Sometimes what we lead with doesn't matter to buyers.

Long textRequired
5.

Describe a recent deal where the competitive dynamic was decisive. What happened?

Walk through it — who the competitor was, what they said, what the customer cared about, how it resolved.

Long textRequired
6.

What would most help you compete more effectively against the options you're seeing most often?

Better messaging, a different proof point, pricing flexibility, a feature — what's the actual ask?
