Update Battlecards
Keep your competitive battlecards current by refreshing them with the latest competitor signals and market intelligence.
Inputs
- Competitor list — comma-separated names of direct competitors to monitor; defaults to current roster in your battlecard system.
- Data sources — where to gather signals: product sites, pricing pages, customer reviews, press releases, sales collateral; defaults to public web sources.
- Focus areas — which attributes to prioritize: features, pricing, positioning, customer segments, use cases; defaults to all.
- Time horizon — how recent must the data be (last week, month, quarter); defaults to last 30 days.
- Output format — how to structure findings: summary bullet points, detailed feature matrix, positioning statement, or layered doc; defaults to summary.
Steps
- Identify which competitors to refresh and review their current battlecard state.
- Research each competitor's latest product announcements, website updates, and customer messaging.
- Document changes in features, pricing tiers, positioning language, or target markets since last update.
- Note any new threats, emerging strengths, or vulnerability gaps in your battlecards.
- Update battlecard fields: positioning, key differentiators, strengths, weaknesses, pricing, go-to-market motion.
- Format findings in your chosen structure—ensure sales and product teams can act on the intelligence.
- Share the updated battlecards with your GTM (go-to-market) team and flag material changes that affect strategy.
Constraints
- Use only public sources; do not solicit confidential customer or employee data.
- Focus on direct, comparable competitors—avoid tangential tools or adjacent categories.
- Refresh on a cadence (weekly or monthly), not ad hoc, to maintain credibility and consistency.
Done when: all active competitors have current battlecard entries with signals dated within your specified time horizon and findings are shared with the GTM team.
