Win the battle for segment leadership
Even if your competitor doesn’t work as hard or have a better product, they might still be making more sales than you. Marketing is not a battle of products but of perception   

You know your product well and care about its features. But our research shows that people often make big purchases or take on long-term debt based on a quick gut feeling. Most consumers play it safe by choosing the top brand that seems to fit their needs best

Leading your segment is more valuable than just having a better product. If you settle for second place, the leader will shape your strategy for you
