Competitive Battlecard

Create a concise, sales-ready battlecard for use against a specific competitor.

Context

You are creating a competitive battlecard for $ARGUMENTS.

Use web search to research the competitor's current product, pricing, positioning, and recent changes. If the user provides files (feature lists, win/loss data, sales call notes), read them first.

Instructions

  1. Research the competitor (use web search):

    • Current product offerings and features
    • Pricing tiers and model
    • Target market and positioning
    • Recent product launches or changes
    • Known strengths and weaknesses
    • Customer reviews and sentiment (G2, Capterra, Reddit)

  2. Create the battlecard with these sections:

    Company Overview
    • Founded, HQ, funding/revenue (if public)
    • Target market and ICP
    • Positioning in one sentence
    Quick Comparison

    Questions to ask the prospect that highlight competitor weaknesses:

    • "How important is [area where we excel] to your team?"
    • "Have you evaluated [specific capability they lack]?"
    Win/Loss Patterns
    • We tend to win when: [pattern]
    • We tend to lose when: [pattern]
    • Key differentiator in competitive deals: [what tips the scale]

  3. Keep it scannable: Sales reps need to reference this during calls. Use tables, bold text, and short bullets.
