Why this works
Switcher campaigns are weak when they rely on generic competitor-bashing. Public signals like reviews, job posts, migration roles, community complaints, and support frustrations can reveal where a competitor customer may be experiencing real friction. This workflow turns those signals into careful, ethical plays that focus on the buyer's problem rather than attacking the competitor.
Expected results
Signals collected
25-100 signals per month
A focused competitor set usually produces a manageable number of public review, job, news, and account signals after filtering for relevance.
Switcher plays created
5-20 account plays
Only signals with sufficient account fit and ethical outreach eligibility should become sales plays.
Research time saved
6-10 hours per month
Structured monitoring and AI-assisted synthesis reduce manual scanning, copying, clustering, and first-draft play creation.
Competitive value
Signal-backed switcher plays
Sales receives problem-based competitor displacement angles rather than generic competitor attack messaging.

Before collecting signals, define what you will and will not use. Work in claude and airtable and capture the concrete operating details: source material, decision criteria, working notes, owner, output link, review status, and open questions. When you use the prompt template attached to this step, paste the real source material, name the expected output sections, and ask the model to flag uncertainty instead of filling gaps. Before moving on, check that the output is specific enough for the next person to use without guessing what happened; the expected handoff is A signal policy that defines approved sources, prohibited sources, and outreach guardrails.
A signal policy that defines approved sources, prohibited sources, and outreach guardrails.
If you would not be comfortable explaining how you found the signal to the prospect, do not use it in messaging.

Create an Airtable or Clay table with fields for competitor, possible customer account, source URL, signal type, signal summary, confidence score, date found, related product area, buyer pain theme, and outreach eligibility. Work in airtable and clay and capture the concrete operating details: source material, decision criteria, working notes, owner, output link, review status, and open questions. Keep the work narrow: complete step 2, record the decision or asset created, and avoid changing unrelated parts of the workflow. Before moving on, check that the output is specific enough for the next person to use without guessing what happened; the expected handoff is A structured tracker for competitor customer migration and dissatisfaction signals.
