Avoid this as a Saas Founder/Marketer
you know SaaS founders and marketers worry so much about the competition
but the thing is a lot of times your customers are at the 0 stage
they don't have the in depth knowledge you have
of the market and the Industry
so most of the times in their heads your
Competitor or alternative to your product
is like some weird complex manual process that they came up with
like a spreadsheet or something
so instead of worrying so much about the competition
and new competition entering the market
you should spend time trying to figure out
what your customer actually sees as an alternative
and not what you assume
they know is the alternative
