Getting Started

快速开始

When you run this skill, I'll ask for context:
Required:
  • What company do you work for? (or I'll detect from your email)
  • Who are your main competitors? (1-5 names)
Optional:
  • Which competitor do you want to focus on first?
  • Any specific deals where you're competing against them?
  • Pain points you've heard from customers about competitors?
If I already have your seller context from a previous session, I'll confirm and skip the questions.

当你运行该技能时,我会向你询问相关信息:
必填信息:
  • 你所在的公司是哪家?(或我会从你的邮箱中自动识别)
  • 你的主要竞争对手有哪些?(1-5个名称)
可选信息:
  • 你首先想重点研究哪个竞争对手?
  • 是否有特定的业务洽谈场景中正在与他们竞争?
  • 你从客户那里听到过关于竞争对手的哪些痛点?
如果我已经从之前的会话中获取了你的销售相关信息,我会先进行确认并跳过上述问题。

Connectors (Optional)

连接器(可选)

ConnectorWhat It Adds
CRMWin/loss history against each competitor, deal-level competitor tracking
DocsExisting battlecards, product comparison docs, competitive playbooks
ChatInternal chat intel (e.g. Slack) — what your team is hearing from the field
TranscriptsCompetitor mentions in customer calls, objections raised
No connectors? Web research works great. I'll pull everything from public sources — product pages, pricing, blogs, release notes, reviews, job postings.

连接器新增功能
CRM与各竞争对手的胜负数据、已结订单中提及竞争对手的记录
Docs现有战斗卡片、竞品策略手册
Chat内部情报、同事提交的一线反馈报告
Transcripts客户通话中提及竞争对手的记录
未连接连接器? 网页搜索同样能发挥作用。我会从公开来源提取所有信息——产品页面、定价、博客、版本说明、评测、招聘信息。

Output: Interactive HTML Battlecard

输出:交互式HTML战斗卡片

The skill generates a self-contained HTML file with:
该技能会生成一个独立HTML文件,包含以下内容:

1. Comparison Matrix (Landing View)

1. 对比矩阵(初始视图)

Overview comparing you vs. all competitors at a glance:

  • Win rate indicators (if CRM connected)
概览你方与所有竞争对手的整体对比:
  • 功能对比表格
  • 定价对比
  • 市场定位

  • 近期发布内容(过去90天)
  • 双方优势对比
  • 定价情报
  • 不同场景下的销售话术
  • 异议处理方案
  • 痛点挖掘问题

Refresh Cadence

更新频率

Competitive intel gets stale. Recommended refresh:
TriggerAction
MonthlyQuick refresh — new releases, news, pricing changes
Before major dealDeep refresh for specific competitor in that deal
After win/lossUpdate patterns with new data
Competitor announcementImmediate update on that competitor

竞品情报会过时,建议按以下频率更新:
触发条件操作
每月快速更新——新增发布内容、新闻、定价变更
重大业务洽谈前针对该洽谈中的特定竞争对手进行深度更新
业务胜负后用新数据更新胜负模式
竞争对手发布公告后立即更新该竞争对手的相关信息

Tips for Better Intel

获取优质情报的小贴士

  1. Be honest about weaknesses — Credibility comes from acknowledging where competitors are strong
  2. Focus on outcomes, not features — "They have X feature" matters less than "customers achieve Y result"
  3. Update from the field — Best intel comes from actual customer conversations, not just websites
  4. Plant landmines, don't badmouth — Ask questions that expose weaknesses; never trash-talk
  5. Track releases religiously — What they ship tells you their strategy and your opportunity

  1. 坦诚面对自身劣势——承认竞争对手的优势能提升可信度
  2. 关注结果而非功能——“他们有X功能”远不如“客户能通过该功能实现Y结果”重要
  3. 从一线获取更新——最优质的情报来自实际客户对话,而非仅靠网页
  4. 挖掘痛点而非恶意贬低——通过提问暴露其劣势,切勿直接诋毁竞争对手
  5. 持续追踪版本发布——他们的发布内容能体现其战略方向和你的机会点
