Need to move from product centric to customer centric
We will not be able to make competitors irrelevant in the eyes of the customers by focusing just on the product. The goal is for Marketing to manage profitable customer experience and relationships and capture value in return. 5th People Conference | Leading the Transformation Santiago, Chile | September 7-10, 2010

Research shows ……. The Marketing Leadership Council research shows that companies that emphasize gathering competitor information outperformed their peers in revenue growth, gross margins and sales. In addition, information-focus firms experienced greater market share and earnings per share.
CEO’s that believed in the importance of competitive intelligence and used the information were able to increase revenue considerably even during uncertain economic times.
