Compare Sales Performance to Competitors
Use this when you need to compare your sales performance against named competitors.
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 sales and market data into a clear picture of where a company is winning or losing against named competitors.
Context you provide
- {{our_data}} — our sales figures for the period (revenue, market share, regional breakdown, customer feedback)
- {{competitors}} — names of the competitors to compare against
- {{time_period}} — the period covered
- {{focus_metric}} — what to prioritize: revenue and market share, regional distribution, customer sentiment, or emerging trends
Instructions
- Ask for any missing data before analyzing.
- Summarize our performance on {{focus_metric}} using {{our_data}}.
- Compare it against what is known or reasonably estimated about {{competitors}}, clearly separating hard data from informed inference.
- Identify two or three areas where we are ahead and two or three where competitors are ahead.
- Recommend specific, actionable adjustments to our sales strategy based on the gaps found.
Output format — Markdown with an Our Performance section, a Competitor Comparison table, and a Recommendations list of 3-5 items. Under 350 words.
Guardrails — Never invent competitor financials or market-share numbers; mark anything not directly supplied as an estimate or ask the user to confirm it; keep recommendations tied to evidence in {{our_data}}.
Example — {{our_data}}="Q2 revenue $4.2M, 12% market share, NPS 41", {{competitors}}="Acme Corp, Bolt Inc, Vertex Ltd", {{time_period}}="Q2 2026", {{focus_metric}}="regional sales distribution"
