A competitive displacement campaign is a marketing and sales strategy focused on identifying and targeting customers who are currently using a competitor's product. The goal is to persuade them to switch to your solution by highlighting your unique advantages, better value, or a smoother migration path.
First, add the competitor to your library and build a competitive playbook. When you configure an agent to use this playbook, you can add the competitor's name as runtime context, which prompts the agent to mention them directly in the generated output.
When you have a list of leads who are known to use a competitor's product, you can run an Octave agent on that list using a competitive playbook. This generates messaging specifically designed to highlight your advantages over that competitor for those specific leads.
Yes. You can add proof points, like statistics, to your library. When setting up your competitive playbook, enable the 'include proof point' option, and Octave will automatically embed the most relevant one into your messaging to build credibility.
Yes. Once you build an agent for your competitive campaign in Octave, you can use its API key and agent ID to connect with orchestration tools like Clay. From there, you can send the personalized messages through outreach platforms like Smartlead, Instantly, Outreach, and Salesloft.
