You know who your competitors are, but wouldn't it be great to sneak a peek at their customer list (without doing anything unsavory, of course)? The good news is that you don't have to go all Mission Impossible just to uncover who is doing business with your competition. In fact, you can learn a lot about who is using the competition simply by relying on web search, social media, and even things like job postings.

In this Take 10 webcast, competitive intelligence expert Scott Swigart explains how you can gather data from a variety of public information sources, such as Google and LinkedIn, and then connect the dots to gain insight into who your competition's customers actually are.
