Are you stuck in this vicious circle as well?
COMMODITIZATION
Unfortunately, like death and taxes, commoditization of your products or services is a given. Today it typically takes 3-5 years until a product is fully commoditized and – provided that your value proposition fails to differentiate itself from your competitors – the only thing your buyers can compare is the price.
