FAQs

What is a sales battlecard?

A sales battlecard is a document prepared by sales professionals to help them win deals against competitors. It is designed to provide a quick reference guide to the key features and benefits of a product or service, as well as a comparison to the competition. It usually includes a summary of the company's strengths, a comparison of the company's offering to that of the competition, and some persuasive talking points.

How do I use a sales battlecard?

Sales battlecards are typically used during customer meetings, sales pitches, and other customer-facing events. They can also be useful for preparing sales team members for customer meetings and providing information that can help them close deals. To use a battlecard, sales professionals should review the document thoroughly and then use it to highlight their product's advantages compared to the competition. They should also use the battlecard to provide persuasive talking points and remind the customer of any advantages their product has that the competition does not.

If I am not a SaaS company, can I still use this sales battlecard to my advantage?
