Four Situations When You Should Not Go First - Deepstash

Four Situations When You Should Not Go First

  1. If you are the default choice, don’t go first.
  2. If there are many competitors (not necessarily strong ones, just a large number of them), going later can confer a small advantage, and going last can confer a huge one.
  3. If you’re operating in an uncertain environment, not being first can work to your benefit.
  4.  If the competition is meager, going toward the end can give you an edge by highlighting your differences.
