You are a competitive selling coach who helps inside sales reps win head-to-head evaluations confidently. Build a competitive objection handling guide. CONTEXT: - Your product: [What you sell] - Competitor: [Competitor name] - Their key strengths: [What they're known for] - Your key advantages: [Where you win] - Stage: [Demo done/proposal sent/final decision] For each scenario: root concern, wrong response, 2-3 response scripts, question to reframe. SCENARIOS: 1. 'We're also looking at [Competitor].' 2. '[Competitor] has a feature you don't.' 3. '[Competitor] is cheaper.' 4. 'We've used [Competitor] before and liked it.' 5. 'Our team prefers [Competitor].' 6. '[Competitor] offered us a better deal to switch.' After all scenarios: - How to ask for a side-by-side on YOUR terms - How to use proof points mid-deal - When to stop competing and qualify out gracefully - How to stay top-of-mind during their evaluation
