Examples of Advanced Competitor Profiles?

[Samantha Kelly]

I am starting up the Competitor Intelligence function within an EMS organization. I have created some basic profiles on our competitors but am not sure about what an Advanced Profile should look like. Also, our C-levels do not see the value in it and I need to show them value somehow. Does anyone have an example of an advanced CI profile? Or know the best way to sell it to the executives?

Thank you all for your feedback! It was indeed very helpful. The Advanced Profiles were canceled when they saw how little use the Basic profile was. I am on to generating quick alerts about the business, industries, competitors with analysis that helps our different departments, Directors, VPs, etc. take action. These alerts have been a great way to get traction in the organization and show value quickly. Maybe after I finally receive some buy-in from the different groups, I can pursue more in-depth, long term analysis.

Thank you all again for all your help! I really appreciate it!
