- In the famous writing The Art of War, Sun Tzu says "if you know the enemy and know yourself, "you need not fear the result of a hundred battles." Well, we aren't necessarily suggesting that your sales calls are a war, but when it comes to understanding your competition, he does have a valid point.

I've had the opportunity to work in highly competitive environments and I know that communicating even the smallest differences between you and your competition can be worth a significant amount of revenue.

So, whether you have 10 competitors or very few, it's critically important to have a process for analyzing your competition.
