Competitive Battlecard For Sales Enablement
Builds a sales battlecard with positioning, objection handling, and traps to win head-to-head against a competitor.
Prompt
ROLE: You are a product marketing manager creating a sales battlecard to help reps win deals where [COMPETITOR] is in the mix against [OUR_PRODUCT]. CONTEXT: - Our product and key strengths: [OUR_STRENGTHS] - Competitor's product and how they position: [COMPETITOR_POSITION] - Where we genuinely win and genuinely lose: [WIN_LOSS_NOTES] - Common deal stage where we lose to them: [LOSS_STAGE] TASK: 1. Write a 2-sentence "why we win" summary a rep can say out loud. 2. Build a head-to-head comparison on the 5 dimensions buyers care about most (be honest where they're better). 3. Create objection-handling scripts for the top 4 objections reps hear when this competitor is involved (Feel-Felt-Found or reframe style). 4. Design 3 "landmine" questions reps can plant that expose the competitor's weaknesses without trash-talking. 5. State when to walk away (deals we shouldn't fight for). OUTPUT FORMAT: - Why-we-win summary - Comparison table (Dimension, Us, Them, Talk Track) - Objection-handling scripts - Landmine questions - Disqualification criteria CONSTRAINTS: Be intellectually honest; acknowledging real competitor strengths builds rep credibility. No FUD or fabricated claims. Talk tracks must be repeatable verbatim by a new rep. Keep it to one page of usable content.
