  8. Once in a while, you may need to show a mixed score. This scorecard can be used with sellers and executive leaders. Make sure to switch out the image to something more relatable to your business. The Overview can be similar to what’s in your Battle Card overview. However, there may be elements important to call out in general though not necessarily important for sellers. Your competitive analysis process will help you score each of these areas. Feel free to add or modify the areas under consideration. Shoot the Curl Marketing

  9. Because pricing between competitors is often an apples and oranges comparison, feel free to use screen captures of competitor pricing when those screen captures provide important context. Also, consider outlining the offering components versus your offering’s components and reflecting pricing between them. Whatever approach best reflects how the offerings and their related pricing match up is the one to use. Shoot the Curl Marketing
