Our stats
“Deep and rich knowledge packaged up. Alex presented in a highly engaging and positive style. Templates and tools are highly relevant and practical.”
Asif Chaudhry
Global Director, Product Marketing & Propositions
“The Competitive Intel Certified course is a must for anyone in product marketing. I’ve been conducting CI and win-loss for years, but Alex's course still gave me plenty of “Aha!” moments. From shifting our perspective of CI from a war to a dance battle, reevaluating the place of free trials in CI, even down to rephrasing “Why” questions in win-loss - this was an excellent investment of time and is valuable for all levels.”
Jarvis Karel
Product Marketing Manager, Enterprise Competitive Intelligence
“Competitive Intel Masters Course provided me with concrete strategies on enhancing and maintaining competitive intelligence programs as a PMM, templates and actionable formats for CI materials, and explored the cross functionality of CI. Would recommend to anyone looking to revamp one's CI in their organization or someone who's looking for a refresher for new ideas!”
