Studying the market was our initial step in creating Carepatron. Since we have such a unique yet global problem we want to resolve (which is democratizing healthcare for both practitioners and patients), we want to know what's currently being done to solve it and how we can improve on the matter. Our research showed us the current gaps in the telehealth and healthcare tech industry, allowing us to innovate our platform to become what it is now. Due to this competitive intelligence, I'm proud to say that we're the only platform who managed to take this healthcare technology and mission global. Since launch, we've seen a surge in both users and engagement with our free, educational health resources. This growth fuels our passion for both our advocacy and our business.
For Competitive Intelligence professionals in large enterprises, the most difficult task is to elevate themselves from embedded service providers (reactive) to strategic voices (proactive). I have witnessed several instances at my firm where reading the market and communicating trends/information (whether that be for a single account or entire market niche) has uncovered opportunities to provide counsel on a series of deals or public offerings. Capturing HUMINT also has become paramount in order to share and leverage the collective knowledge of an enterprise. I would say the order of operations for CI success is proactivity leading to credibility, which awards a seat at the table. This, in turn, creates an organization more focused on the horizon rather than the day-to-day, and ultimately positions it for longer-term success.
Diving into competitive intelligence, we noticed a gap in how our rivals were engaging with their audience on social media. They were all talk and no listen. This observation sparked an idea that became a turning point for us. We decided to not just post content but also to actively engage with comments, questions, and feedback. The result was astounding. Our engagement rates skyrocketed, and our community grew stronger and more loyal. People appreciated being heard and responded by participating more actively in our platforms. This experience taught us the power of listening in the digital age. It's not just about broadcasting your message but engaging in a two-way conversation. This strategy set us apart from our competitors and also deepened our relationship with our audience, turning them into advocates for our brand.
