Sales Battle Card Creator

A one-page competitive battle card with win/lose scenarios, pre-loaded objection responses, and landmine questions, ready for the sales floor.

Best For

  • A sales enablement manager preparing reps for a competitive deal cycle uses it to build a scannable one-pager for the sales floor
  • An AE losing deals to a specific competitor uses the landmine questions to steer discovery calls before the prospect brings up the rival
  • A revenue leader onboarding new hires uses the honest 'where they win' section so reps aren't blindsided mid-call

Prompt Template

Create a sales battle card for competing against [COMPETITOR NAME] when selling [YOUR PRODUCT/SERVICE]. Include: (1) Competitor overview, what they offer, their typical customer, and their core selling message in 2 sentences, (2) Where we win, 3–4 specific scenarios where our product is the better choice, stated as situation-specific claims ("When a customer needs X, we win because Y"), (3) Where they win, be honest: 2 situations where the competitor has a genuine advantage so reps aren't caught off guard, (4) Common objections and responses, list 5 objections a prospect raises when comparing us to [COMPETITOR] and write a concise, non-defensive rebuttal for each, (5) Landmines to plant, 3 questions our reps can ask that reveal weaknesses in [COMPETITOR's] offering before the prospect raises it themselves, (6) Proof points, 2 customer quotes, case studies, or stats that directly counter [COMPETITOR's] key claims (use [PLACEHOLDER] format for any we need to source). Format as a one-page reference card a rep can scan in 60 seconds mid-call.

Pro Tip

Write the 'where they win' section honestly using real lost-deal feedback, since a battle card that only flatters your own product loses credibility with reps the first time a prospect pushes back.

Example Output

A sample of what this prompt produces once you fill in the placeholders.

Where we win: when a customer needs same-day onboarding, we win because our setup requires no implementation call, unlike [Competitor]'s standard 2-week rollout. Landmine question: 'How long did it take your last vendor to get you fully live?'
