What it does
Your customer does not think in categories. In the moment they need something done, they pick from whatever is in reach: a rival brand, a product from another aisle, a friend, a homemade fix or nothing at all. If you compare yourself only with the usual names, you miss the rivals that matter most. This skill works from one job spec. It lists rivals in five groups, writes a resume for each (how it does the job, where it fails, why people still pick it) and rates all of them, you included, on the practical, social and emotional sides. Then it names what must be fired for someone to hire you.
You give it
- A job spec for one circumstance
- Your known rivals (optional)
- Reviews or notes that mention what else people tried (optional)
- Customer words (optional)
You get
- At least eight rivals in five groups, including doing nothing
- A three-line resume and a rating on three sides for each
- What the customer must fire to choose you
- A note on the people who do nothing, and why
- A five-line read and the first rival to study
Use it when
- You track competitors by category and sales still surprise you.
- Many people with the problem buy nothing, and you do not know why.
- You want to know what a customer gives up to switch to you.
