Your Guide to Competitive Intelligence (2023)

Competitive intelligence is both an outcome and a process.

The way your organization collects, stores, curates and analyzes competitive intelligence on your competitors is the process.

And the way your organization deploys and enables your team with it is competitive intelligence as an outcome.

Doing both well is vital to your organization’s success.

Our vision for the goals of a competitive intelligence program

Every company and every department has to deal with competition. It’s an inevitable part of today’s landscape — one that is only accelerating.

Our vision is for the entire organization to be enabled with actionable insights in real-time, aligning to a coherent and consistent competitive strategy.

Our mission is to give you the resources you need to make it happen. 

This guide outline the most critical competitive intelligence tips and best practices for building a competitive intelligence function.

What is Competitive Intelligence?

What is Competitive Intelligence

History’s successful leaders have all understood that success in a competitive environment hinges on the knowledge of their adversaries.

Today’s leaders are no different. Organizations everywhere need to collect market intelligence and information on the competition.

Competitive intelligence is a discipline that enables organizations to reduce strategic risk and increase revenue opportunities.

When done correctly, the best organizations systematically collect and curate competitive intelligence to enable their teams to beat the competition.

That’s why more and more companies are combining competitive intelligence and sales enablement into a new discipline called competitive enablement.

Competitive Intelligence Framework Best Practices: The 5 Pillars

what is competitive intelligence

Starting a Competitive Intelligence Function Through Stakeholder Buy-in

You as the competitive intelligence expert will be the one who ultimately determines the success of your program.

But you can make starting a competitive intelligence function a lot easier by following a framework for competitive intelligence. And the first step is getting organizational buy-in early on.

This is often the biggest obstacle organizations have with establishing their competitive intelligence program. 

For your competitive intelligence initiatives to stick, you’ll need to get quick wins and build a collaborative process.

And it all starts by working with sales.

Tips for Building Stakeholder Engagement

There are two reasons why you need to start your competitive intelligence program by partnering tightly with your entire sales team – from leadership to field sellers:

  1. They are the hungriest department for competitive intelligence
  2. They present the greatest opportunity for you to impact revenue early

However, it takes a slightly different approach to get each of these stakeholders on board. Here’s what we recommend.

Sellers – Identify the biggest pains, wants, and knowledge gaps amongst your sales team when it comes to competitors. Every customer that kicks off with Klue identifies these by conducting a competitive confidence survey for their sales team. This allows you to identify low-hanging fruit where you can provide value to sellers.

For example, in her first 90 days on the job, Tracy Berry built a profile on a competitor that sellers noted were coming up in deals but had zero information on them. She was immediately able to hone in on a deliverable that would help sellers in deals.

Leadership – Pending on the size of your company, your sales leadership team may not be as interested in the more granular tactical benefits that competitive intelligence provides. But, what does every sales leader in history care about? Hitting their revenue targets.

That’s why the top competitive experts get leadership bought in by presenting their businesses’ competitive revenue gap. Quantify the amount of revenue you’re losing directly to competitors, and the impact of tipping even a handful of those neck-and-neck deals in your favour by arming your sellers with better competitive intelligence.

Measuring progress through KPIs

The more you can tie your efforts to revenue the easier it will be to get buy-in for starting your competitive intelligence program.

Through deliverables and KPIs, you need to demonstrate that your competitive intelligence program is closing your competitive revenue gap.

Competitive Intelligence Best Practices from the Field

One of our clients, a leading software company, set about building a competitive intelligence program that would generate high levels of engagement across the organization.

In order to do this their curator set up three plans of action:

what is competitive intelligence

Establishing a “CI SWOT” team to source content:

  • This team comprised people from marketing, sales, product, and more to provide competitive content.
  • The goal was to engage every department to be in contact with the competitive intelligence process early.

Focusing on one or two primary competitors:

  • Two competitors were widely considered primary competitors throughout the business.
  • Collecting intel on them would therefore garner a lot of interest — as opposed to smaller, lesser-known competitors.
  • Knowing which companies to gather information on ensured that it wouldn’t fall on deaf ears. 

Sitting in on sales meetings to keep a pulse of their experiences in the field:

  • By taking the time to engage and listen to the influential salespeople, they could chime in with competitive intelligence updates that would address their pain points.
  • As a result, all teams across the organization immediately began to engage with the competitive intel at a far higher rate.

Competitive Intelligence Research: Internal and External Sources of Market and Competitive Intelligence

Conducting competitive intelligence research and collecting intel on your competitors — as well as market intelligence more broadly — can be incredibly time-consuming. It’s rarely the fun part of competitive intelligence research.

The fun stuff for someone like you is more likely building competitive strategies on how to position against competitors in your market. 

The challenge in gathering competitive intelligence is knowing what external data to track, how to source internal knowledge, and ultimately, understanding what intel actually matters to move the business forward.

Building those steps of competitive intelligence gathering into a repeatable process will make the analysis and distribution parts of your competitive program far easier.

Internal and External Sources of Competitive Intelligence Data

External Sources of Competitive IntelligenceInternal Sources of Competitive Intelligence
Website updates
Press releases
Social media
Review sites
Sales calls
CRM data 
Email
Slack/Teams 

Website updates and press releases can offer a ton of valuable market intelligence. As Competitive Intelligence professional David Barker said on an episode of the Competitive Enablement Show, messaging that competitors put out in news releases and on their website, “really tells you they think and what they want the market to think of them.”

At the same time, social media — especially LinkedIn — can inform you of both broad and specific personnel changes. Changes that can signal a change in strategy, or inferences about the overall health of your competitor.

As for internal sources of competitive intelligence data, hearing common objections (and how your sales reps handle those objections) on sales calls is invaluable to your positioning in the market.

CRM data and associated win-rate provide a quantitative lens into your business and how you’re faring against competitors. While email and instant messaging conversations provide the qualitative lens you need.

(At Klue, we do a comprehensive market threat analysis to assess your competitive landscape and where you sit within it.)

Competitive Intelligence Analysis and Insights

Once you extract the key intel from your research, it is time to surface insights.

Competitive analysis stacks up where your competitors’ strengths and weaknesses lie in order to identify the best opportunities to beat them. Maybe you spot something in their product that your sales team can leverage against in deals.

Perhaps they have some recent negative reviews about their support team. There is a wealth of information out there — it is up to you to take advantage of it.

When armed with a data collection process that answers the questions your organization needs, it will transition you from being reactive to proactive in the competitive landscape.

Competitive Intelligence Data

Competitive Intelligence Examples 

Tapping into the intel that the sales team receives on calls with prospects is an underutilized method of gathering critical competitive information. They often provide a direct window into a competitor’s offerings during the sales process — information that is invaluable beyond the immediate deal at hand. Here is one competitive intelligence example from the field:

One client recognized that their salesforce wasn’t effectively capturing and sharing competitive intel across the team. Sure, their competitive intelligence team was gathering public information, but they needed deeper insights. Ones that could only come from the field.

In order to improve this, they created a friendly competition between the North American and EMEA sales teams: Whoever shared more competitive insights to their CI platform from calls would earn a teamwide reward.

This method was a win-win. By tapping into the competitive nature of their sales teams, information silos immediately began to open up and far greater amounts of competitive insight were being submitted for company-wide access.

It was also effective in making the salesforce active participants in the CI process. The company simultaneously improved the quality of their intel and got an entire department to champion the value of competitive intelligence.

Developing Your Competitive Intelligence Strategy & Sales Battlecards

Creating strong positioning and competitive strategies are the linchpins of building an effective competitive intelligence program.

Your revenue teams need to know — and do — a lot when it comes to winning deals over competitors. They need to know how to position themselves, why you win, talk tracks to use, proof points to validate their claims, and how to handle objections, just to name a few!

Enter your competitive battlecard.

This is Klue, and your competitive intelligence programs’, bread and butter. There’s an art to building a deal-winning battlecard, but here’s a one methodology to help you get started.

We call it the Know, Say, Show method. Within each of your battlecards include:

  • What you need to knowthe context around an insight or competitor
  • What you need to saytalk tracks to use for this insight
  • What you need to show reinforcing proof points and customer-facing material.

This method cuts the fat from your battlecards, removes the contextless facts, and makes them as usable as possible for your revenue teams.

If you’re looking for even more practical tips on building battlecards, well then you’re in luck. Check out our Competitive Battlecards mini-course, led by Klue and industry experts.

New call-to-action

Our battlecard framework is a way to provide your sellers with all of the information that they require, and provide it to them at the correct time in the sales cycle.

Flooding these cards with too much information — especially intel that is outdated or irrelevant — will overwhelm your team. Only include clear, digestible content that is easy to use.

Tips and Best Practices for Distributing Competitive Intelligence 

How does each of your stakeholder groups prefer to communicate? What channels do they use?

Your sales reps may prefer Slack or Teams. Your executive team may use email heavily and prefer communication with graphs and charts that help to visualize issues at a high level.

When you’re building a plan to distribute your competitive intel, it’s critical to take your stakeholders’ preferences into consideration. The success of your competitive intelligence program relies heavily on your ability to effectively communicate your insights to them. 

Check out how Klue can help you distribute your competitive insights across the organization.

Three Audience Categories for Distributing Competitive Intelligence

  • Tactical – Sales reps and teams that need your help winning deals today
  • Operational – Product, marketing team that needs to adapt and strategize towards winning deals in 3-6 months.
  • Strategic – Executive team, communications team, needing valuable market intelligence to help inform high-level strategic decision making.

One very common method of distributing competitive intelligence data is via a competitive intelligence newsletter. These newsletters generally include 3-6 stories pertaining to the most valuable competitive intelligence data of the week.

Naturally, it takes a concerted effort at the beginning to build your newsletter into something your colleagues actually want to read. But when you do, you become a curator-extraordinaire of competitive intel.

As Nick Larson from Staffbase said on a recent episode of the Competitive Enablement Show, “when something hits the intel digest, people realize this is something they should take notice of and start talking about.”

Your program needs not only good content but a strong content management strategy in place so that you are delivering fresh content and continuing to build trust with your stakeholders over time.

As such, your program is only as good as the quality of content you produce and the upkeep of your data and content is very important to the performance of your competitive intelligence strategy. In other words, maintaining intel relevancy is a key component of your CI program. 

Competitive Intelligence Best Practices from the Field

The most disheartening result for a competitive intelligence team is when all the hard work put into creating competitive insights goes unused. The keys to beating your competitors collect dust sitting unread in an inbox, PowerPoint slide, or Word Document while another deal goes over your head. 

Here’s a competitive intelligence example that shows how one client made a small tweak to their distribution practices that got departments to care about the intel they gathered. The key?

Context.

Previously, they shared weekly email digests to the whole org with a vast amount of information. However, that was the issue; it was too vast. A collection of news articles would be dumped into an email with no context, relying on every employee to read each article and understand why it was important. 

It was an inefficient process that became a major pain point. There was no explanation as to why the information mattered and to whom it mattered. 

With a new intel digest format, the client prefaced articles or links with a few succinct lines explaining the story and why it was important. They then added specific notes to each piece of shared intel, noting how the sales teams could leverage it in conversations with prospects. Taking that extra step to lower the barrier of entry for employees with competitive intel was a simple, yet effective way to improve usage across the organization.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:

Battlecards in Practice 

One of our clients, a fast-growing B2B SaaS company, tripled their number of sales reps over the past year. One of the biggest challenges this presented was ramping their sales hires onto their own products, and making sure that they understand how these products are positioned in the market. 

Battlecards helped them to arm sales reps to deposition competitors, and also to prepare them to accurately speak to their own products. By having these clearly defined battlecards, it was easier to progressively ramp up a massive number of new sales reps and ensure that they were all on the same page.

Content Distribution: Delivering Competitive Insights 

How does each of your stakeholder groups prefer to communicate? What channels do they use? Your sales reps may prefer Slack or Chatter. Your executive team may use email heavily and prefer communication with graphs and charts that helps visualize issues at a highlevel.

When you’re building a plan to distribute your competitive intel, it’s critical to take your stakeholders preferences into consideration. The success of your competitive intelligence program relies heavily on your ability to effectively communicate your insights to them. 

Older competitive intelligence programs haven’t made it easy to build a workflow around updating data and distributing real-time content.

Your program needs not only good content but a strong content management strategy in place. This sets you up to deliver fresh content and continuing to build trust with your stakeholders over time. It’s critical. 

Your program is only as good as the quality of content you produce. The phrase “Garbage in, garbage out,” seems fitting here. Point being, the upkeep of your data and content is very important to the performance of your competitive intelligence strategy. Maintaining intel relevancy is a key component of your CI program.

Measuring Your Competitive Intelligence Program 

Every function in every organization should have to demonstrate their impact on the business. Starting a competitive intelligence function is no different.

Of course, for all nascent disciplines, determining the right KPIs that best highlight the value they bring is a challenge.

Competitive confidence is quickly gaining prominence as one of the key performance metrics used by Competitive Intelligence and Competitive Enablement professionals.

By surveying the end-users of your competitive intelligence program, you can gauge to what extent your efforts are having a positive impact.

Sales reps might be underconfident against a particular competitor, or in selling to a particular industry. A competitive confidence survey lets you establish a baseline and then measure improvements over time.

Consumption metrics relating to reps’ use of the battlecards you’ve created, and open rates related to your competitive intelligence newsletter are also indicators of your performance as a compete expert.

New call-to-action

More established KPIs like competitive win-rate, deal size, ACV and time to close can all help you paint a picture of the impact your competitive intelligence program is having on the organization.

At the same time, there are many, many confounding variables within each of those metrics. Ones that are far outside of your control and may not accurately reflect the ultimate value of your competitive intelligence program.

That’s why an impact analysis — tying consumption metrics to revenue — can be the holy grail of competitive metrics.

(For a deeper dive into the ins and outs of a sales impact analysis, read this article.)

Establishing KPIs Early Sets Your Competitive Intelligence Program Up for Success

Setting these benchmarks early in the process will now provide a clearer idea as to what you need to deliver. If you’re curious where your efforts currently stack up, and what you can do to improve, then check out our Competitive Enablement Maturity Model.

Remember, there is no one-size-fits-all method to measuring your competitive intelligence program. 

For example, Tracy Berry, Senior Competitive Strategy Manager at ServiceMax, uncovered these five objectives that her company needed their competitive intelligence program to achieve:

  • A focus on true differentiation 
  • Centralizing CI content
  • ‘Sugar-free’ internal messaging 
  • Timely win-loss analysis and reviews 
  • Shift from reactive to proactive insights 

It is also crucial to map out how your competitive strategy will function in order to achieve your established KPIs. Where will the intel be stored? How do team members access it? Have these questions answered before you jump into the data collection phase.

Ensure that the competitive intelligence team is present during critical strategic planning sessions, that ROI measurements and expectations are established, and that you have a thorough understanding of the existing flow of competitive information. 

Competitive Intelligence Best Practices from the Field

One of our clients in the software industry was in the beginning stages of building out their CI program.

Although information was being collected, their lack of direction resulted in it not truly being actionable insight. The organization started tracking some initial data: 

  • Search query data – What competitors salespeople were searching for within Klue 
  • Deal data – Which competitors came up in deals using Salesforce data, and how this changed over time 
  • Sales performance – Win rate in competitive deals 

Using the deal data trends, they noticed an emerging competitor popping up in deals that the salesforce had no prior knowledge of.

This unexpected turn put immediate stress on the business but also gave the team a clear focus as to where their competitive intelligence efforts should be aimed. 

A light bulb moment struck as the team was able to use data to build an even more effective competitive intelligence program for the organization.

Examples of Competitive Intelligence Jobs

As your program becomes more sophisticated, you’ll need to expand your team.

The emergence of competitive intelligence as a discipline has created the need for more competitive intelligence jobs.

Here are some common roles in the field of competitive intelligence and what they entail.

Competitive Intelligence Analyst

The O.G. of compete roles. Competitive intelligence analysts generally support the competitive intelligence manager in tracking and collecting relevant data in order to draw out competitive insights and advantages.

Competitive Intelligence Manager

A level above competitive intelligence analysts, competitive intelligence managers are often tasked with building and executing on broader strategic goals and strategies. In addition to overseeing the collection and curation of insights done by the competitive intelligence analyst.

Market Intelligence Manager/Analyst

There is a ton of overlap between market intelligence and competitive intelligence. In fact, you’re more likely to see the two paired together as a competitive & market intelligence manager. Generally speaking, market intelligence professionals focus more on macro market factors than specific competitors.

Competitive Enablement Manager

Where competitive intelligence falls short, competitive enablement brings it all home. Competitive enablement managers are responsible not just for overseeing data collection and curation but turning that data into insights — and then giving their teams the practical tools they need to leverage those insights.

Product Marketing Manager

Traditionally — and in some organizations presently — competitive intelligence falls within the purview of the product marketing manager; on top of owning go-to-market strategy, sales collateral, messaging, positioning, and much, much more. This broad scope of work is why many companies are quickly conceiving of compete as its own discrete function.

Competitive intelligence job description

Of course you can’t hire a competitive intelligence analyst or any role without a competitive intelligence job description.

When it comes to hiring a competitive enablement manager, their main focus is on:

  • Competitive Enablement
  • Product Enablement
  • Revenue Enablement
  • Competitive Strategy
  • Onboarding and deal support
  • The breadth and scope of any compete role will vary by organization, title, and by the size of the compete program.
  • But these five pillars provide a foundation for any competitive enablement manager.

Competitive Intelligence Sources: What External Data to Track on your Competitors

When a house is built on a strong foundation, it is built to stay forever. Knowing the best sources of competitive intelligence to track is the foundation that your program needs to flourish.

Five External Sources of Competitive Intelligence

1. News & Press Releases

Competitor news, events and press releases is one of the most accessible sources of competitive intelligence.

These timestamped pieces of content can help piece together the story of where they’re headed, and what they value.

A company’s press release page is a strong indicator of what they want current and potential customers to care about.

These announcements are a tool for competitors to position themselves. Tools that might introduce new funding and partnerships, product advancements, or suggest that a business is scaling up.

2. Web content and social media

Competitor blog articles, social posts, podcasts, videos, e-books, case studies and white papers, are all sources of competitive intelligence your company should be monitoring.

Now more than ever, companies produce content for branding and industry positioning purposes.

Thus, frequently checking a competitor’s content production will help you build out your own strategy.

How regularly are they posting blogs? What are the main topics they’re trying to ‘own’? What calls-to-action are they embedding in their content?

Ultimately, understanding how your competitor wants to be seen by the market helps you position against them more effectively.

3. Product, packaging and pricing

A competitor’s products and offerings are essential — if not obvious — sources of competitive intelligence.

At the end of the day, you need to know how you stack up.

And knowing everything about your competitors arms your reps with the actionable information needed to close a competitive deal. 

Finding a competitor’s most common FAQs and support threads sheds light on their user experience (UX). More, they aggregate the main issues affecting those using the product.

Beyond that, analyst reports by Forrester, Gartner, and IDC can help you understand your competitors in a variety of ways.

They analyze strategy, market presence, and other criteria for groups of products within a particular category.

Pro-tip: Using Google’s advanced search can reveal intel that a competitor doesn’t highlight prominently on their website.

Here you may find product and user guides that are intended for sales reps or customers. These are far more detailed than public-facing feature lists and offer insight into a product’s roadmap and positioning.

4. Personnel and hiring practices

Becoming familiar with your competitor’s personnel strategy reveals their current needs and where they might be headed.

For example, looking at a competitor’s hiring trends is a great way to forecast their next move.

These insights don’t just indicate a competitor’s growth, but also provide a glimpse into their strategic plan. 

Personnel changes at the C-suite level are also strong indicators of a strategic shift.

A new member of the executive team with a background that differs from their core business may portend a change in strategy

5. Customer reviews

Every team across your business makes decisions with the customer in mind. But who exactly is your customer, and how are they different from your competitor’s target audience?

Use competitive intelligence to build buyer personas that enable your sales and marketing team to better aim their efforts.

It is time to start looking at who your competitors are bringing in, the size and industry type of these customers, why they chose to sign with your competitor, and if they are satisfied. Don’t forget to look at your own customer insights as well! Gather as much information as possible on customer feedback from prospective and current clients. 

The goal is to figure out what customers in your industry truly care about.

Simply put, customer reviews dominate the internet. How your customers endorse your product or service on various review websites greatly affects your company’s credibility. It’s also a great resource for getting the inside scoop on a competitor.

It is also useful to track how your competitor schedules out their content. Maybe they are churning out weekly blogs, but are only running webinars and longer content on a monthly basis. These insights will provide you with benchmarks to assess your own content strategy. You may also be able to dominate an area of content where your competitor is lacking.

Five Internal Sources of Competitive Intelligence

1. Stakeholder interviews

No matter the maturity of your program, interviewing internal partners will always be a primary source of competitive intelligence.

These stakeholder interviews are so important that Tracy Berry, Director of Competitive Intelligence and Communication at Freshworks, makes them as an essential part of any compete program she builds.

“I use interviews to help me understand, to get my fingers on the pulse of competitive in the company. And that helps me really set the priorities I need to.”

The best compete programs are the ones that work in close partnership with important stakeholders. The more you connect with these stakeholders, the more successful you’ll be.

That’s why interviewing your stakeholders and drawing insights from the interviews is a pillar of competitive intelligence.

2. Internal messaging platforms

If your company doesn’t have a dedicated competitive intel channel, you need to stop everything and create one.

Internal messages are an absolute goldmine when it comes to sources of competitive intelligence.

Companies with a culture of compete have a leg up on those that don’t.

Create a #competitiveintel channel in your internal messaging platform and start building that culture.

3. Win-loss interviews

Despite our great love of internal stakeholder interviews, gathering competitive intelligence via this method has its limitations.

Namely because third-party objective data trumps subjective hunches.

Win-loss interviews, through an agency or conducted in-house, help uncover valuable insights about why you’re winning or losing.

Competitive intelligence professionals like ServiceTitan’s Jenn Roberts always advocate for internal win-loss programs. She says it’s an entree for her to get a strategic seat at the executive table.

Win-loss gives you intel with which to make informed decisions about your product, messaging and positioning based on the voice of the customer.

And that my friends, is a highly valuable source of competitive intelligence.

4. CRM data

At the very least, CRM data should help your guide and validate the priorities of your compete program.

Your reps have a good handle on which competitors they face off against most. But they may not always have the most accurate view of changes in the competitive landscape.

When CRM data matches up with what you’re hearing from reps, you can confidently decide which competitors to prioritize.

If it doesn’t, this could be a sign you need to look deeper into this discrepancy in perception.

What’s more, keeping a tally of when competitors come up in deals should inform your strategic competitive intelligence strategy.

This is the kind of competitive intelligence that lets you earn and keep a strategic seat at the table.

5. Call recordings

Call recordings are excellent sources of competitive intelligence because they give you direct insight into how your messaging is landing.

These insights then allow you to shift and adjust your messaging and positioning as necessary.

And as a compete pro, analyzing call recording lets you hear what’s resonating and what isn’t. With that info, you can adjust, remove and add talk tracks based on their success in the field.

Start building your competitive intelligence program today

Competitive intelligence programs need to establish a process that lets all teams mobilize quickly to outmaneuver their competitors.

By making sure that your competitive intelligence is in a central, easy-to-locate repository, insights will be used more frequently and teams will become more comfortable sharing intel they pick up in the field to the entire organization.

However, the best competitive programs go beyond just simply storing juicy intel. It enables employees by sharing information that is relevant to their role and easy to use.

This guide provides the building blocks needed to get an effective competitive intelligence program up and running, yet it is a continual process to ensure that employees are bringing competitive intelligence into their jobs on a daily basis.
