If you were to steal one thing from your top competitor, what would it be?

Question

Rule is - you can’t steal their outputs, only their inputs.

Pick one, and tell me why.

- their billion dollar investment
- their high profile tech stack
- their headquarter tower
- their business models
- their marketing team
- their sales team
- their CEO
- their logo

PS - no need to name them 😺

I'd steal their customer feedback loop - it's the secret sauce to their rapid improvements. But let's be real, I'd rather focus on innovating our own unique strengths than playing catch-up.

Anbang Xu · Answer

I wouldn't steal anything, but I'd love to learn from their customer retention strategies. It's always fascinating to see how other companies keep their users engaged and loyal.

Answer

Their logo, I love his logo

@busmark_w_nika Then it would be a great steal for sure :)

@busmark_w_nika Oooh attack! In reality, I've seen some companies actually poaching the salespeople from their industry.

Definitely the training time will be cut to half. What other reason?

@vertikanigam I think this is a skill I have always been lacking :D I do not like to sell people something. To be seen is enough :D

Their billon dollar investment 😂

Answer

Marketing team

Vertika Nigam · Answer

@deepa_somasunderam Yeah! I think the more important thing is how that investment is used. Lot of startups fail even after getting well funded, it's because they don't have either of the other important things like good product, good marketing, good sales, good leadership etc.

Deepa Somasunderam · Answer

The billion dollar investment 😂 I mean how is this not everyone's pick lol! But great question!

Vertika Nigam · Answer

@monty_parin Awesome! And why do you think their marketing team is so good? Anything you see from the outside?

Vertika Nigam · Answer

@anbangx Of course, you can never get it anywhere else.
