And traditional CI practices feel a lot like this:

A day in the life: Meet Nate

Nate is looking for 3 things - fast:

1.Best competitive positioning

2.Feature comparison

3.Pricing intel

Nate emails his colleagues for competitive intel

X - Strike 1!

Nate checks his intranet for competitive intel

XX - Strike 2!

Nate calls his peers for competitive intel

XXX - Strike 3!

“Phone tag –

you’re it.”

“Please leave me a

message and I’ll call you

back.”

“I think an old client of mine used to

work with them a few years back... want

to call them?”

Is Nate going to win this deal?

Traditional CI isn’t cutting it

anymore. This is no bueno.

Step 1: Create a Competitive Hub

Enhance focus and depth with Chatter Groups

“Groups let you organize intel, files, tips and tricks

by competitor - we don’t use “Intranets” any more”

Extract your company’s “tribal knowledge”

“Our Groups capture

insights from anyone,

providing a place for

tribal knowledge to be

captured and shared.”

Share wins so everyone benefits

“Highlight wins vs.

competitors so every

sales person can turn

a recent win into a

competitive weapon”

Consistent Group design is key for high adoption

So, how do you know

when you’ve got it right?

Just another day at the office…

And then Oracle makes a foolish mistake

Nobody capitalizes on PR like salesforce.com.

The Employee Network comes to life!

Own the conversation and you can hijack a conference

Fact: Our event is better than theirs.
