The problem it solves

Sales reps rarely find out that a target account just started using a competitor's product until it's too late to act on it. Watching dozens of accounts for that kind of signal by hand just isn't realistic.

Who it fits

A sales or account management team tracking a watchlist of target accounts.

How it works

  1. Reads your watchlist of target companies from a spreadsheet
  2. Looks up each company's technology stack
  3. If a company has started using a specific competitor tool, it flags the match
  4. Emails the account executive assigned to that company with the details
What you get

Competitor adoptions you learn about first

Your sales team hears the moment a target account starts using a competitor's tool, so they can reach out with fresh, relevant timing.

What you get

A timely email alert to the right salesperson whenever a target account adopts competitor technology.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, a Gmail account, and a PredictLeads API account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
