Best Practices for Primary Competitive Intelligence

About the Course:

Since most emerging companies have scant financial history or public disclosures to review, competitive intelligence takes on paramount importance.

Gleaning powerful insights during interviews with company management, industry experts and rank-and-file customers and employees is arguably the most important aspect of being a successful Emerging Company Analyst. Knowing how to conduct pre-interview due diligence, obtain crucial interviews, and asking revealing questions is often the difference between success and failure as an early-stage analyst.

The following are among the issues discussed during this webinar:

  • Pre-interview due diligence
  • Where to conduct the interviews
  • When / how to conduct interviews and surveys
  • Bracketing responses
  • Breaking the target's preoccupation
  • Elicitation strategies
  • Detecting deception
  • Triangulating the truth
  • Triggering the target's desire to maintain a dialog with you
