After years of hard work in the playing field, you finally reach your goal and have become the best software lead generation company in the market. What do you do now? Being on top can be dangerous and frankly, quite lonely too. If you want to block the shots your competitors will take at you is by ensuring that you’re not the sole beneficiary of being up there.
Regardless of how you reached the top, when you have already established your leadership position, you will want to hold on to it, sometimes even surpass it and become even better. The feeling is great and very inspiring, but the rewards of being the best have its own risks. Although it can breed success in the future, it can also breed great contempt. Because your company is in a prominent position, others at the bottom will always be tempted to shoot at you and do everything to knock you down.
A Word to the Wise
Through the years you will notice that the most successful companies have stayed that way because they’ve managed to integrate their success with the success of their entire industry. Once they’ve won, they don’t just march out on everyone to celebrate on their own rather, they do their best to keep the peace. They use their victory as a stepping stone in which they can extend and reinforce their position in the long run. They are never greedy for the short term benefits-they look forward to greater advantages in the years to come.
So exactly how does a company achieve this? By learning to redefine your success over and beyond your own terms and extend it to larger, wider, industry terms. Know how to combine your vision, your interests with your entire industry. By doing this you create a harmonious network of players in the industry that will be willing not only to support, but to promote your leadership position as well. Don’t use your winnings to gain enemies rather, take advantage of them to win friends. These people will be happy to be around you, for your protection and longevity that you should value fiercely.
