After losing to Saracens in their European opener, the GUINNESS PRO12 outfit have since recorded back-to-back victories over Toulouse.
They trail Pool One leaders Saracens by ten points but have a game in hand and hooker Best believes Ulster are heading in the right direction as they eye up a quarter-final spot.
"We were very rusty against Saracens when boys were coming back from the World Cup with our new coach coming in," he said. "Wholesale changes haven't been made, but we are making little tweaks and they are starting to bear fruit.
"We knew it was going to be a very tough place to come and win and that proved to be the case. But the way the boys fought back against their momentum with our defence and our willingness to get back into the line was great, I can't ask for more as a captain.
"We're not the biggest team, we don't have players who weigh 130 kilos, but what we do have is a lot of heart, a lot of fitness and a very good skill level in the forwards with some exciting backs.
"The best thing for us is to utilise that by playing at a high tempo, and when we get front-foot ball, Ruan Pienaar and Paddy Jackson can really pull the strings."
