How to address, combat and (sometimes) ignore your competitors

I called Mike Volpe this week to talk about sales and marketing alignment, but we talked first about competition.
Mike is chief marketing officer at Cybereason and speaking next week at the Zoominfo Growth Acceleration Summit.  Like many industries, cybersecurity is red-hot and highly competitive.  Incumbents, newcomers, wannabees – all trying to get a finite number of prospects to pay attention.

Happy customers generate positive word-of-mouth:  Anytime
