"We already use Salesforce."

Salesforce handles data entry, not real-time call guidance. Different problem.

"We're a HubSpot shop."

HubSpot manages your pipeline. We help reps navigate the conversations that fill it.

"We just signed with Outreach last quarter."

Outreach automates sequences — it doesn't coach reps through live objections.

4 responses

"Gong already does this for us."

Gong records what happened. We tell your rep what to say before it happens.

3 responses

"We use [competitor] and we're happy with them."

Happy with them for what specifically — tooling, support, outcomes?

4 responses

"Our team is locked in with [competitor] for another year."

The contract is for that tool. Your reps still need to close deals during that year.

3 responses

"How are you different from [competitor]?"

They build battlecards you read after the call. We give reps the exact words during the call.

3 responses

"We evaluated [competitor] and went with them."

What was the evaluation criteria — features, price, ease of use?

3 responses

"[Competitor] is cheaper."

Cheaper for what? Per-seat, per-feature, or per-win?

3 responses

"[Competitor] has more features."

More features means more to manage. How many of those features does your team actually use?

3 responses

"We're mid-implementation with [competitor]."

Implementation is the hard part. Once that's done, do your reps have everything they need on calls?

3 responses

"Our CRO loves [competitor]."

Does the CRO love the tool for their own reporting, or for what reps can actually use on calls?

3 responses

"[Competitor] integrates with our stack."

We integrate too. Integration is table stakes — the question is whether the rep actually uses it mid-call.

3 responses

"We don't want to switch — too painful."

We're not asking you to switch. We're asking if your reps have the best possible words on calls.

3 responses

"What makes you better than [competitor]?"

Real-time. We give reps answers during the call. Competitors give managers reports after the call.

3 responses

"We can't justify two tools that do the same thing."

If they're doing the same thing, one of them isn't working. Which one has the lower adoption rate?

3 responses

"Our team already knows how to use [competitor]."

Knowing how to use a tool and closing more deals are different things. How's quota attainment?

3 responses

"[Competitor] has been around longer."

Longevity is a feature of their go-to-market, not their product. What have they built in the last two years?

3 responses

"We trust [competitor] — they're the standard."

Standard doesn't mean optimal. What's the average win rate across your team's calls right now?

3 responses

"Why would we switch from [competitor]?"

You're not switching — you're adding. One more tool that helps reps close more of what you're already working.
