Full prompt and why it works
Prompt
Build a one-page competitor battlecard comparing {{our_product}} with {{competitor}}, for our sales team to use during live deals. Reps will trust it only if it is honest about where {{competitor}} is stronger, so balance matters more than making us look good. Facts about our product (features, pricing, limits, proof we may share): """ {{our_facts}} """ What we know about {{competitor}}, each item with its source and date: """ {{competitor_info}} """ Notes from deals we won or lost against them: """ {{deal_notes}} """ Use these sections, in under 500 words: 1. In one line: who they are and the buyer they suit best. 2. Where they win: the situations and needs where they are the better fit. 3. Where we win: the situations where we are the better fit, each backed by a fact above. 4. Their common claims and our answer: a table with Their claim, Is it accurate?, and What to say. 5. Questions to ask the buyer: three or four fair questions that help the buyer test what matters to them. 6. When to walk away: the deals we usually lose to them, and why. 7. Sources: the date this card was built ({{today}}) and the source of each competitor fact. Rules: - Use only the information above. Mark any competitor fact without a source, or older than {{stale_after}}, as "[UNVERIFIED]" so reps check it before repeating it. - Do not state anything negative about {{competitor}} that the material does not support, because a false claim about a competitor can lose the deal and create legal risk. - Do not invent prices, customer names, win rates or features for either company. The card should be quick to scan on a call: short bullets, plain words, and talk tracks a rep could say aloud. For example, a good talk track sounds like "If offline use matters to you, ask both of us to show it on a phone," not "We crush them on mobile." If the material is too thin for a section, write "Not enough information" under it and list what to find out.
Variables
- {{our_product}}
- Your product or service name.
- {{competitor}}
- The competitor's name.
- {{our_facts}}
- Your features, pricing, limits and the proof you are allowed to share.
- {{competitor_info}}
- What you know about the competitor, each item with its source and date: their website, pricing page, reviews, analyst notes.
- {{deal_notes}}
- Notes from deals won or lost against them, or "none".
- {{today}}
- Today's date, so readers know how current the card is.
- {{stale_after}}
- How old a competitor fact can be before it needs rechecking, for example "six months".
Why it works
- What good looks like. The card has to say where the competitor wins, because reps stop using a battlecard the first time a buyer proves it one-sided.
- What to avoid. Competitor facts without a source or past their date are marked unverified, and nothing negative goes in without support, which protects both the deal and the company.
- If unsure. Thin sections say "Not enough information" with what to find out, so gaps in your intelligence stay visible.
