Competitive Mindset for 2024

Also: the CI salary survey, Intercom's new home page, and more

I had a blast at the Spryng conference last week.

One of my fav soundbites came from Alina Vandenbergh, Co-CEO at Chili Piper.

When Chili Piper first started out, they didn’t have many competitors. Now, they have a ton—and they view it as a positive.

i.e. they see a correlation between their competitors’ growth and Chili Piper’s growth.

This is the exact mindset that all companies should be adopting in 2024.

I love when we win deals and I get to put ‘competitor’ as the attribution.
