Smart Advantage is the only sales, marketing and management consultancy focused exclusively on identifying and communicating the most important element of successful competition - your measured competitive advantage - from your customer’s perspective. Why from the customer's perspective? Because if your customer’s don't value your differentiators, then they are not relevant.

A key tenet of their work, that it’s so simple that most of us don’t think to do it.”
