Selling more has little to do with being better, get that out of your head. You're Italian, right? Starbucks sells more than Italian coffee shops, but is not better in any meaningful way (perhaps more comfortable chairs).
Our competitor sells more than us, we both sell developer-hours. In fact they win big because their projects with the same client are behind and ours aren't, so they get to charge more overtime. Which is better? I'd say we are, we're delivering on time or early, and from what I can gather, better quality.
