The problem with competitive intelligence today

It's buried

Battle cards live in wikis nobody checks. Competitive decks are outdated by the time you find them. You're left searching Slack for "competitor name" and hoping someone shared something useful.

It's generic

Standard battle cards don't account for your specific deal. The CFO cares about different things than the IT director. Generic positioning doesn't cut it when stakes are high.

It's too late

By the time you realize you're up against a specific competitor, you're already behind. The prospect has been pitched. The narrative is set. You're playing catch-up.

It's not actionable

Knowing a competitor's weaknesses is one thing. Knowing exactly what to say to this prospect about those weaknesses is another. Most tools give you the former, not the latter.

Competitive intelligence that shows up when you need it

Vere doesn't just store competitive intel. It applies it to your specific deals.

Deal-aware battle cards

Not just "Competitor X weaknesses" — but "what to say to this CFO about Competitor X given what they care about." Battle cards that know the deal context.

Frequently asked questions

What is sales competitive intelligence?

Sales competitive intelligence is the process of gathering, analyzing, and using information about competitors to win more deals. This includes understanding competitor products, pricing, positioning, strengths, and weaknesses so sales teams can effectively differentiate and handle objections during the sales process.

How does Vere help with competitive intelligence?

Vere turns your competitive knowledge into usable deal intelligence. Instead of digging through wikis and outdated PDFs, Vere gives you battle cards, positioning guidance, and objection responses tailored to each specific deal and competitor situation.

What's the difference between competitive intelligence tools and battle card software?

Traditional competitive intelligence tools focus on gathering information about competitors. Battle card software focuses on making that information usable during sales conversations. Vere does both — it organizes your competitive knowledge and delivers it in the context of specific deals when you actually need it.

How do I keep competitive intelligence up to date?

Vere makes it easy to update competitive intelligence as you learn from deals. When you encounter new competitor messaging, pricing, or positioning, you can capture it immediately. This intelligence then becomes available across all future deals involving that competitor.

Can Vere help with win/loss analysis?

Yes. By tracking competitive situations across deals, Vere helps you understand patterns in wins and losses against specific competitors, identifying what messaging and positioning works best.
