Why compare yourself with others?

No one in the entire world can do a
better job of being you than you.

As marketers, we often ask
       ourselves…
How do we compare?
Hmm, that’s an OK question.
The better question is…
How do we improve?
Benchmarks are
  worthless…
…unless you use them to take
  your marketing program
     to another level.
End of sermon.
