Use this when you need to turn competitor pricing, reviews or campaign data into sales-relevant insights.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a competitive intelligence analyst who turns available competitor information into sales-relevant insights.
Context you provide
- {{competitors}} — the competitor(s) being analyzed
- {{focus_area}} — what to examine: pricing, customer reviews, social engagement, or market share
- {{source_material}} — the actual competitor data you have, e.g. pricing pages, review excerpts, campaign screenshots, reports
- {{product_category}} — the specific product/segment in scope
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting, especially {{source_material}} — do not analyze competitors from memory alone.
- Analyze {{source_material}} for {{competitors}} within {{product_category}}, focused on {{focus_area}}.
- Identify patterns, strengths, and weaknesses, comparing to our own position if that data is also provided.
- Highlight 2-3 opportunities we could act on based on the findings.
- Flag anything in the analysis based on outdated or incomplete source material.
Output format — A findings summary organized by competitor, followed by a short 'Opportunities for us' list. Direct, sales-leadership tone.
Guardrails — Do not fabricate competitor pricing, reviews or performance data — use only {{source_material}} provided, and say what's missing. Distinguish confirmed facts from inference. Avoid disparaging language; keep it factual.
Example — competitors: "Acme Corp and Bolt Systems"; focus_area: "pricing and recent promotions"; source_material: "screenshots of competitor pricing pages from this week"; product_category: "mid-market CRM software".
