Competitive Intelligence Gathering : Hy Silver

About The Program

Have you ever prepared a proposal that was dropped from the "short list". Or received a "surprise RFP. What happened? What happened is a lack of intelligence - the number-one reason for losing. To win, you must know about your customer, your competition, your technology, and yourself. You must know how to play the intelligence game.

Hy Silver will teach you the rules of the game - the techniques and limits - what you need to know and how to go about getting it. Discover clever methods for using your innate abilities to gather the information you need - from customers, associates, friends, even competitors - cleverly and cagily. Every useful technique is covered, with specific skills for converting "normal" customer contact and oral briefings into intelligence opportunities.

Discover a key trick of the trade - how to keep your information from being distorted as it winds its way through the intelligence maze - removing built-in blinders and pressures. In other words, you learn how to gather believable intelligence that can be reliably used to help you win.
