Sales Intelligence for the Sales Director

Your reps are in dogfights
every single day.
Give them an edge.

Every competitive deal feels like a contact sport. Your reps are smart, they're hungry, and they're losing deals they shouldn't be losing — because they're walking in blind. RAINCLOUD puts current, proven intelligence in their hands before every conversation.

You know the feeling.
Another deal lost to something you should have known.

"What do we say when they bring up Competitor X?"

Your rep is on a call in 20 minutes. The prospect just mentioned they're also evaluating DataCore. The rep pings you on Slack. You type something from memory — half-right, maybe — and hope it lands. This happens three times a week. Every time, you're guessing. Every time, your rep knows you're guessing.

You're on a plane. A rep messages you mid-deal: "They're pushing back on our pricing vs. SecureNet. What's our response?" You thumb-type something from 30,000 feet and hope it's enough. It isn't.

The battlecards exist. Nobody trusts them.

Marketing created them 14 months ago. They reference a competitor feature that was deprecated in Q2. The pricing section says "contact us" because nobody updated it when you went through your last pricing revision. Your best reps ignore them completely. Your newest reps use them and walk into conversations with wrong information. Both outcomes are bad.

You pull up the DataCore battlecard to help a rep and realize the "key differentiator" it lists is a feature DataCore shipped six months ago. You close the document and wing it.

You lose deals and the real reason never comes back

CRM says "competitive loss." But was it pricing? Was it a feature gap? Did the competitor have a champion inside? Did the rep fail to handle a specific objection? You run the post-mortem and get the version of events the rep is comfortable sharing — not the version on the recording. The patterns that could save the next 10 deals are locked in call recordings nobody will ever review.

Two reps lose to the same competitor in the same week with the same objection. Neither knows about the other's deal. The pattern is invisible because nobody is connecting the dots across 500 calls a quarter.

Every competitive deal feels like starting from scratch

Your team won a tough deal against CloudShield last month. The rep used a brilliant reframe on the pricing objection. That knowledge lives in one person's head. The next rep who faces CloudShield will reinvent the wheel — or, more likely, lose. There's no system to capture what works and distribute it to the team. Tribal knowledge is your competitive strategy, and tribal knowledge doesn't scale.

A new hire asks: "How do we compete against SecureNet?" You point them to a 14-month-old battlecard and tell them to shadow Sarah for a week. You know that's not good enough.
Executive boardroom

Battlecards your reps will actually use.

Not a PDF that marketing made once. A living document updated monthly from the analysis of every competitive call your team recorded. Current pricing. Proven talk tracks from deals you actually won. Objection handling that works because it was tested in real conversations last month.

Living Battlecard vs DataCore — Sample

Living Battlecard: vs DataCore

This isn't a competitive overview. It's a weapon. Current intelligence, proven talk tracks, and a scorecard of recent outcomes — so your rep knows exactly what's working against this competitor right now, not six months ago.

  • Updated monthly from real call recordings — not desk research
  • Talk tracks extracted from won deals this quarter
  • Current pricing, feature changes, and hiring signals
  • Threat level and win rate trend for this specific competitor
  • Recent deal outcomes with key factors — your reps learn from each other
Competitive Readiness Scorecard — Sample

Competitive Readiness Assessment

You manage 7 reps. Each one has different strengths against different competitors. Quarterly, we analyze competitive deal outcomes per rep to show you exactly who's ready for which fight — and where targeted coaching will have the highest impact on win rates.

  • Per-rep competitive win rates by competitor
  • Heatmap visualization of team strengths and gaps
  • Trend data showing improvement quarter over quarter
  • Coaching priorities based on upcoming deal flow
  • Pair top performers with struggling reps for specific competitors
"My reps stopped asking me what to say about the competition. Not because they stopped caring — because they already had the answer."
Sales Director, Mid-Market SaaS

Tuesday, 2:15 PM. Your rep just got a competitive objection.

The same deal. The same objection. Two completely different outcomes depending on whether your team has current intelligence or not.

Without RAINCLOUD

The rep messages you on Slack.

"DataCore just came up. They're saying they're 30% cheaper. What do I say?"

You're in a meeting. You respond 45 minutes later with something from memory. The rep uses it on the next call but the framing doesn't land because the data is wrong — DataCore's pricing changed two months ago and you didn't know.

The champion goes quiet. Two weeks later, the deal is marked "Closed Lost — Competitive." In the post-mortem, you learn the prospect had compliance requirements that DataCore can't meet. Nobody raised it because nobody knew to ask.

Result: $128K deal lost. Winnable.

With RAINCLOUD

The rep opens the DataCore battlecard.

Updated last week. Current pricing: $18/seat — the 30% drop happened in January. The proven response: reframe to total 12-month cost including implementation and support. DataCore doesn't include either.

The rep also sees the compliance lever: DataCore doesn't have SOC2 Type II. The prospect is in financial services. The rep asks: "Are you subject to SOC2 requirements?" The prospect's CISO joins the next call.

The rep didn't need to ask you anything. The intelligence was current, proven, and available before the conversation started.

Result: $128K deal won. Rep closed it faster than any previous DataCore competitive deal.
