Be proactive. 'If you only start doing competitor research when you are being hurt, it may be too late,' says Arthur Weiss, founder of consultancy AWARE. 'You want to know what your competitors' plans are for two years' time and how they will affect you'....Listen and observe. Trade shows and conferences are good places to find out what competitors are up to. 'You can visit their stand and listen to what they say to customers,' says Weiss. 'The beauty of trade shows is people assume everyone is a customer'....Build a picture. Small nuggets of information are like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that can be pieced together to let you guess the big picture, adds Weiss.
