Competitor Mention Monitoring & Alert
A done-for-you everyday business automation built for the Competitive Intelligence Analyst, connecting Slack and Airtable so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
Every call transcript captured through Gong or Chorus gets scanned automatically for mentions of named competitors, and the moment one comes up, whether a prospect casually name-drops a rival or asks for a direct comparison, Make.com tags the call, extracts the surrounding sentence for context, and posts it to a dedicated competitive-intel channel in Slack.
A running log in Airtable tracks mention frequency by competitor and by deal stage, giving the competitive intelligence analyst real data instead of anecdotes when building battlecards.
Deals with three or more competitor mentions automatically flag for a battlecard-review task assigned to the deal's rep before their next call.
Sales teams that used to learn about a scrappy new competitor secondhand, months after it started costing them deals, now catch the trend within days and adjust messaging before it becomes a real problem.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Left to a person, this means a competitive intelligence analyst re-enters the same data more than once, double-checks it by hand, and still occasionally misses something. It rarely feels urgent in the moment, but it adds up fast.
With this automation
- Daily and weekly digests delivered automatically
- Threshold alerts when a key number moves
- Dashboards fed directly from your systems
- Client and owner reports assembled without copy and paste
