Marketing sells a fairytale story that sales can’t back up. Sales sells a dream that CS can’t make come true.
And product managers can’t build a product roadmap if compete pros don’t provide clear market, competitive and buyer intel about the competitive landscape.
Our guest on the Competitive Enablement Show this week was Isabel Gan, Klue’s Growth Product Manager and the host of the Product Toolbox Podcast.
She dished on how competitive intel can and should inform your product roadmap in the short term and into the future.
Every function in every company would love to get crystal clear intel to guide their decision-making. The problem is it doesn’t exist.
What does exist is directionally accurate data based on competitive, market and buyer research.

These are all imperfect inputs. And as Isabel says in the interview, you never want to make a knee-jerk reaction to something your competitor is doing.
But the call to action here is a tighter relationship between compete teams and product.
Because while the intel on its own doesn’t solve anything, together you can begin to unlock the insights that drive revenue.
It’s a relationship every compete team should have on their radar. And when you nail it, the whole company benefits.
We’re turning back the clock all the way back to September 2022 to our interview on the Competitive Enablement Show with Cloud’s Senior Product Marketing Manager Molly Gallaher Boddy.
She told us three ways compete programs should be supporting product teams and launches 👇
“I think part of compete’s role is to push the envelope and test people to be innovative in how they’re thinking about their pricing and packaging model.”
“They need answers to how particular products similar to yours are or are not performing in the market, and what factors are contributing to the success.”
“Great product teams want to know what everybody else is doing in a deep, feature-specific kind of way.”

The topic of Large Language Models (LLMs) has a lot of confusion. Here's what you need to know about how Klue is working with them.
If your competitive intel game is too strong for automation, too pure for data privacy, and too rebellious for accuracy — then Klue AI is probably not for you.
