Their particular model is new and unique, although there are national competitors who purport to offer the same services, nationally, and at cut prices.
The individual members of the group each know their own state markets, but have little understanding of the other state markets.
It would assist the national marketing effort if they each knew more about the competitive situation in other states.
The question is, how to define, store and make such information available, nationally, to all the members.
Has any one any experience they can share with the use of so-called "competitive intelligence" or CI systems?
I'm not sure a system is required so much as a framework - does anyone have a framework they have implemented and which works?
Or any that have been tried but which have not worked? Why did they not work?
Interested to hear any practical applications, even those that failed, in order to fast-track my learning.
Many thanks
