Defining Your Competition

It’s always interesting when you get consultants and freelancers talking about their “competition”. Not everybody likes to think of it as a line-up of enemies who you must battle to the death to win the sale.

So in this episode, we’ll cover the concept of building your “brand neighborhood”, how to communicate with competitors (and define yourself at least as well as they do) and the merits of being choosy about who you work with.
