Competitive Battlecard

竞争对战卡

Mission

目标

Create a battlecard people can actually use in a live conversation.
The output should be concise, current, honest about where the competitor is strong, and grounded in evidence. It should help a rep ask better questions and frame the decision, not memorize a feature dump.
打造一张能在实时沟通中实际使用的对战卡。输出内容需简洁、时效性强,如实承认竞品的优势,且以证据为基础。它应当帮助销售代表提出更优质的问题、引导决策框架,而非让代表死记硬背功能堆砌的内容。

Context acquisition

信息获取

Read
references/CONTEXT.md
. If call, CRM, win/loss or company-knowledge sources are connected, read
references/INTERNAL.md
before using them.
Minimum useful context:
  • home product
  • competitor
  • intended audience or sales motion if known
Strongly preferred:
  • LMTY current report and recent changes for both subjects
  • current positioning and pricing
  • win/loss evidence
  • sales calls and objection themes
  • customer wins and switch stories
  • product proof and limitations
  • segment, use case, and sales stage
If internal deal evidence is unavailable, do not fabricate why the home company wins or loses.
阅读
references/CONTEXT.md
。如果已对接通话、CRM、赢单/输单或内部知识库资源,请先阅读
references/INTERNAL.md
再使用这些资源。
最低有效信息要求:
  • 我方产品
  • 竞品
  • 目标受众或销售打法(如已知)
强烈建议提供:
  • 双方的LMTY最新报告及近期变化
  • 当前定位和定价
  • 赢单/输单证据
  • 销售通话和异议主题
  • 客户赢单和迁移案例
  • 产品佐证和局限性
  • 细分市场、用例和销售阶段
如果没有内部交易证据,请勿编造我方公司赢单或输单的原因。

Workflow

工作流程

Step 1 - Define the competitive situation

步骤1 - 明确竞争场景

Identify:
  • target segment
  • use case
  • sales motion
  • stage of evaluation
  • why the competitor appears
If no segment is provided, create a general card and label the missing specificity.
需明确:
  • 目标细分市场
  • 用例
  • 销售打法
  • 评估阶段
  • 竞品出现的原因
如果未提供细分市场信息,创建通用版对战卡,并标注缺失的具体信息。

Step 2 - Establish competitor truth

步骤2 - 梳理竞品真实情况

Summarize:
  • what they are
  • who they serve
  • core promise
  • important capabilities
  • pricing/packaging when material
  • recent changes
  • strengths the buyer may legitimately value
Avoid loaded dismissals.
需总结:
  • 竞品是什么
  • 他们服务的客户群体
  • 核心承诺
  • 重要功能
  • 重要的定价/打包方案
  • 近期变化
  • 买家可能真正看重的优势
避免带有偏见的贬低。

Step 3 - Establish evaluation criteria

步骤3 - 确定评估标准

Prefer evidence from calls, win/loss, CRM, and customer research.
Common dimensions:
  • outcome fit
  • implementation
  • ease of use
  • depth/breadth
  • integrations
  • governance/security
  • service
  • price/value
  • time to value
  • scalability
Use only dimensions that actually matter for the target situation.
优先采用来自通话、赢单/输单、CRM和客户调研的证据。
常见维度:
  • 结果适配性
  • 实施难度
  • 易用性
  • 深度/广度
  • 集成能力
  • 治理/安全性
  • 服务支持
  • 价格/价值
  • 价值实现时间
  • 可扩展性
仅使用对目标场景真正重要的维度。

Step 4 - Build the "why us" position

步骤4 - 构建「为什么选我们」的定位

Select no more than three primary advantages unless the user requests a deep card.
Each advantage should include:
  • customer condition where it matters
  • evidence
  • wording a rep can use naturally
Do not create fake superiority. If the advantage is segment-specific, say so.
除非用户要求深度卡片,否则最多选择3个核心优势。
每个优势需包含:
  • 该优势发挥作用的客户场景
  • 佐证材料
  • 销售代表可以自然使用的话术
不要编造虚假优势。如果优势仅适用于特定细分市场,请明确说明。

Step 5 - Build trap-setting discovery questions

步骤5 - 设计陷阱式挖掘问题

Questions should reveal customer priorities and trade-offs rather than manipulate the buyer.
Good questions:
  • expose a requirement where solutions differ
  • reveal future scale or workflow needs
  • clarify total cost or operational burden
  • surface risks the buyer already cares about
Avoid questions whose answer is obvious or that require the rep to make unsupported competitor claims.
问题的目的是揭示客户的优先级和权衡取舍,而非操纵买家。
优质问题的特点:
  • 暴露不同解决方案之间存在差异的需求点
  • 揭示未来的规模或工作流需求
  • 厘清总成本或运营负担
  • 引出买家已经关心的风险
避免答案显而易见的问题,或是需要销售代表做出无依据竞品断言的问题。

Step 6 - Build objection handling

步骤6 - 构建异议应对机制

For each repeated objection:
  • state the objection in buyer language
  • diagnose the concern behind it
  • provide a short response posture
  • suggest a discovery follow-up
  • attach proof or an example if available
When internal evidence is missing, keep the response grounded in verified product differences rather than invented win stories.
针对每个高频异议:
  • 用买家的语言表述异议
  • 诊断异议背后的真实顾虑
  • 提供简短的回应立场
  • 建议后续挖掘问题
  • 如有佐证材料或案例请附上
当缺乏内部证据时,回应需基于已验证的产品差异,而非编造的赢单故事。

Step 7 - Add qualification honesty

步骤7 - 加入诚实的资质判定内容

Include:
  • where the competitor is stronger
  • buyer profiles where they may be the better fit
  • red flags that make the opportunity hard to win
  • what proof is missing
This builds field trust and prevents a battlecard from becoming propaganda.
需包含:
  • 竞品的优势领域
  • 他们更适配的买家画像
  • 导致商机难赢的危险信号
  • 缺失的佐证材料
这能建立一线团队的信任,避免对战卡沦为宣传材料。

Step 8 - Check staleness

步骤8 - 检查时效性

Use LMTY changes to identify whether:
  • pricing moved
  • product capability changed
  • positioning changed
  • a previously unique home-company claim became parity
Call out exactly which battlecard sections need refresh.
利用LMTY的变化来判断是否存在以下情况:
  • 定价变动
  • 产品能力变化
  • 定位变化
  • 我方之前的独有主张已与竞品持平
明确指出对战卡的哪些部分需要更新。

Step 9 - Hand off what you do not own

步骤9 - 移交不属于本技能范畴的内容

Requests routinely arrive as two questions joined by "and". Answer the one this skill owns, in full. For the rest, name the skill that owns it and stop there.
This is not a refusal and it is not a disclaimer at the bottom. Write it as a line the reader can act on:
Pricing - the card leans on a price comparison that is really a monetization question. That is a separate decision: run
competitive-pricing-packaging-review
with this analysis as input.
One line per area the work touched, named explicitly:
The request also wantsSay to run
a market position, messaging, or differentiation
competitive-positioning
a full profile of one competitor
competitive-deep-dive
a decision-oriented version for leadership
competitive-executive-market-brief
launch framing, claims, or enablement for a release
competitive-launch-readiness
a recurring digest of what changed
competitive-market-briefing
whether a pattern is a real shift or noise
competitive-market-shift-analysis
a pricing or packaging decision
competitive-pricing-packaging-review
a single live buyer objection or "what do I say?"
competitive-objection-response
The failure this prevents is quietly answering the other half yourself. It looks helpful, and it produces a recommendation built on this skill's evidence alone, without the context the other decision actually needs.
用户请求通常会包含由「和」连接的两个问题。完整回答本技能负责的部分,对于其余内容,指出负责的对应技能即可,无需展开。
这不是拒绝,也不是页脚的免责声明。请写成读者可以直接执行的提示行:
定价 - 本卡片依赖的价格对比本质上是一个商业化问题。这属于独立决策:请基于本分析结果运行
competitive-pricing-packaging-review
。
每个涉及的领域单独一行,明确说明:
请求还包含的需求建议运行的技能
市场定位、信息传递或差异化策略
competitive-positioning
单个竞品的完整档案
competitive-deep-dive
面向管理层的决策版简报
competitive-executive-market-brief
版本发布的框架、主张或赋能材料
competitive-launch-readiness
定期更新的变化摘要
competitive-market-briefing
判断某个模式是真正的趋势还是噪音
competitive-market-shift-analysis
定价或打包方案决策
competitive-pricing-packaging-review
单个实时买家异议或「我该说什么?」
competitive-objection-response
这么做可以避免一个常见问题:私自回答另一半问题。这种做法看似有用,但产出的建议仅基于本技能的证据,缺少其他决策实际需要的上下文。

Step 10 - Produce the artifact

步骤10 - 产出最终成果

Use
assets/battlecard-template.md
.
Default to a concise card. Put detailed evidence in an appendix rather than forcing a rep to scan it live.
使用
assets/battlecard-template.md
模板。
默认生成简洁版卡片。将详细证据放在附录中,避免销售代表在实时沟通中需要翻阅大量内容。

Evidence and reasoning rules

证据与推理规则

Read
references/TRUST.md
.
Especially for battlecards:
  • never invent negative competitor claims
  • separate competitor weaknesses from cases where the home product simply fits better
  • do not state "we always win because" from one anecdote
  • label customer examples by source and representativeness
  • use public comparison claims only when supportable and appropriate
阅读
references/TRUST.md
。
对战卡特别注意事项:
  • 绝不编造关于竞品的负面断言
  • 区分竞品的弱点和我方产品更适配的场景
  • 不要仅凭单个案例就断言「我们总能赢是因为…」
  • 标注客户案例的来源和代表性
  • 仅在有支撑且合适的情况下使用公开对比主张

Graceful fallback

降级方案

Read
references/DEGRADATION.md
. For what LMTY can and cannot do, read
references/LMTY.md
.
Without internal deal evidence:
  • produce a market-grounded card
  • omit or qualify "why we win", recurring objections, and win examples
  • identify the internal sources that would most improve the card
Without LMTY:
  • research a current snapshot and state temporal limits
阅读
references/DEGRADATION.md
。关于LMTY的能力边界,请阅读
references/LMTY.md
。
没有内部交易证据时:
  • 产出基于市场情况的卡片
  • 省略或限定说明「我们为什么赢」、高频异议和赢单案例
  • 指出最能优化卡片质量的内部信息来源
没有LMTY时:
  • 调研当前市场快照,并说明时效性限制

.
A strong battlecard should be usable by someone who has two minutes before a call.
It should answer:
  • what matters
  • what to ask
  • how to frame
  • what proof to use
  • where not to bluff
阅读
references/QUALITY.md
。
优质的对战卡应该能让销售在通话前花两分钟就能上手使用。
它应该能回答:
  • 什么是重点
  • 该问什么
  • 怎么引导框架
  • 用什么佐证
  • 哪些地方不能虚张声势
