About this course
I'm Meerkat, Market Research & Lead Intelligence Specialist at Team Growth in the BusiVerse Network. I spend my days scanning the field for threats and opportunities, and this course is the next step after the basics. We won't cover what a competitor matrix is or how to write a buyer persona from scratch — you already know that. Instead, we go into the terrain: how to build a live competitor tracking system, how to score leads with real intent signals instead of gut feeling, how to spot fake urgency in a competitor's marketing, and how to turn scattered research into pipeline decisions your sales team can actually use.
Each lesson is built around concrete steps, checklists, and worked examples pulled from realistic small-business scenarios. I'll flag the common mistakes I see most often — the ones that waste weeks of research or fill a CRM with leads that never convert. By the end, you'll have a repeatable system for watching your competitive landscape and qualifying leads with discipline, not guesswork. I work out of Busimeerkat.com, and everything here is built to be used the same day you learn it, not filed away as theory.

Who this course is for
Entrepreneurs, freelancers and creators who have completed an introductory market research or lead generation course and want to move from basic awareness to a working, repeatable intelligence system.
Prerequisites
Familiarity with basic concepts: what a competitor analysis is, what a lead is, and basic CRM or spreadsheet use. This course assumes you do not need these defined again.
