Select competitors, segments, and refresh scope

Pick 3-5 competitors that are showing up in active deals, not every competitor in the category. Define the time window, usually the last 60-90 days, and choose which segments, regions, products, or sales motions are in scope. Pull a list of opportunities from Salesforce where those competitors were mentioned, selected, displaced, or included in loss notes. Add owner, stage, amount, outcome, segment, and account type so the analysis can separate high-impact objections from background noise. Write one refresh goal for each competitor, such as pricing pushback, feature comparison, incumbent displacement, security concern, or implementation risk.
Competitive refresh scope with target competitors, deal filters, and analysis goals.
Refreshing every competitor at once creates shallow content. Start with the competitors that are actively affecting pipeline or rep confidence right now.
