Winning Competitive Deals: Is Your Sales Team Fighting the Wrong Battle?

Research reveals what actually drives B2B competition—and how to win before it starts.


Surprising fact: 74 percent of “competitive” B2B deals aren’t truly competitive.  

More surprising? Real competition sparks from early-stage price uncertainty—not late-stage negotiations. 

That’s not theory—it’s backed by data from 6,000 closed B2B deals across multiple companies and industries. And it raises an uncomfortable question: 

How much time is your sales team spending on competitive battles they could have prevented weeks ago?
