Today, we'll talk about the idiom "Ahead of the pack"

In the business world, we have winners and losers.

We have people who succeed, and people who don't.

Competition is fierce, and everybody wants to be "ahead of the pack".

In English, we say pack when we are referring to a body of competitors

following the leader in a race or competition.

So just picture a group or runners, or a pack, chasing the leader of a race.

So I guess you can already have a pretty good idea

about what this business idiom means, right?

Yep. In business context, to be "ahead of the pack"

simply means to be more successful than the competition.

Now, let's take a look this idiom in some example sentences, shall we?

For example, someone in a business might say:

we will ensure that our company stays ahead of the pack."

Also, you can say "lead the pack" instead of being "ahead of the pack".

Now, be careful here because the word "lead" is a verb in this idiom,

so this is what it looks like in a sentence:

"This new smartphone has led the pack in sales for 7 consecutive months."

And I hope that all of you ITIers and future business people

will one day find yourselves "ahead of the pack."
