Your product is so similar to 2 or 3 major competitors in the market that you wonder why people even chose you in the first place. What’s your differentiation strategy?
Maybe it’s because you’re priced competitively. Maybe it’s because you’ve got better testimonials & referrals from your existing customers. Maybe your UX is a better fit for your customers?
