68% of deals involve at least one direct competitor, but 44% of sales teams don't know which competitors are in their deals. Your battlecards live in a Notion page last updated 6 months ago. A competitor launches a new feature on Tuesday — your rep finds out from the prospect on Wednesday.

With /competitive-brief

Name the competitor. The skill researches both companies right now and builds a product comparison, pricing intel, differentiation matrix, talk tracks, and landmine questions.

Where You Win

- Pricing: 60% lower at mid-market
- Setup: 10 min vs 3-month implementation
Where They Win
- Call recording + transcription (native)
- Enterprise brand recognition
- Larger integration ecosystem
Talk Tracks
When prospect says: "Gong gives us call intelligence"
You say: "Gong is great for call recording. We focus on
what happens after the call — the follow-up, the CRM
update, the competitive positioning. Most teams use both."
Landmine Questions
- "How long did Gong take to implement?"
- "Are your reps actually using the insights, or just the recordings?"
- "What happens to deal data that isn't in a recorded call?"
