Competitive intelligence · Sales
Know what your competitor is charging before your rep gets asked about it on a call.
A buyer mentions a competitor's price halfway through a call. The rep either guesses at a response or promises to check and call back. By then, the moment has passed. Most small businesses know their competitors exist but have never written down what they actually offer, charge or say to buyers.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
In one paragraph
Competitive intelligence is the ongoing work of tracking what your named competitors charge, offer and change. It turns that into a short brief your sales team can use in a live conversation. GullySales builds the tracking list, writes the comparison your reps can actually use, and refreshes it as competitors change their pricing or their pitch.
We track a defined list of your real competitors, their pricing where it is public, their positioning, and any change worth knowing about. We turn it into a short, usable comparison for your sales team. This is refreshed on a schedule, not built once and left to go stale.
This is intelligence for winning a conversation, not a legal or exhaustive study of the market.
The problem
Does this sound like your business?
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“A rep hears a competitor's price for the first time from the buyer.”
There is no answer ready, so the call stalls on a promise to check and get back, and momentum is lost.
“The last competitor comparison the team has is two years old.”
Pricing and offers have moved since then, but the document everyone still refers to has not.
“A competitor changes their offer and nobody tells the sales team.”
Reps keep pitching against an old version of the competitor, missing the actual objection buyers are now raising.
What we do
Everything that is included.
Each deliverable, and what it gets you. Nothing here is an extra.
Competitor tracking list
A defined list of the competitors that actually come up in your sales conversations, not every business in your category.
Pricing and positioning snapshot
What each competitor charges where it is public, and how they position themselves to buyers.
Sales battlecards
A short, usable comparison for each competitor that a rep can glance at during a call, not a lengthy report.
Win-loss input
Notes from your own team on why deals were won or lost against each named competitor, fed back into the battlecards.
Briefing
A short session with your sales team on what has changed among competitors and how to respond to it.
How the result is measured
- Competitors actively tracked
- Battlecards referenced in live deals
- Deals lost to a named competitor, reviewed for why
- Time since the last competitor briefing
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Who it is for
This is written for you if these sound familiar.
- Sales teams who hear a competitor's name on calls and have no consistent way to respond
- Businesses in a market with two or three named competitors buyers regularly compare them against
- Companies who have lost deals to the same competitor repeatedly without ever formally reviewing why
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You operate in a market with no clear competitors buyers compare you against
- You want detailed financial or confidential information about a competitor; this uses public and buyer-reported information only
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the competitive intelligence work runs
- 1
Identify the real competitors
We agree the short list of competitors that actually show up in your deals, based on your team's experience, not guesswork.
- 2
Gather public information
We collect what is publicly available on pricing, positioning and offers for each one.
- 3
Build the battlecards
A short, practical comparison document is built for each competitor, written for use during a live call.
- 4
Brief the sales team
We walk the team through the battlecards and how to use them naturally in conversation.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.
