Competitor Sales Activity Tracking: Find Buyers Before Your Competitors Close Them

If a target account is actively evaluating your competitor right now, you want to know before the deal closes. Competitor sales activity tracking gives your revenue team early visibility into live competitive evaluations, so your reps can reach the buyer while they are still forming their opinion — not after they have already signed.

Letterdrop detects public buying signals tied to live competitor sales cycles and surfaces them as contact-level opportunities for your reps to act on immediately, updated daily with no guesswork and no cold starts.

How Competitor Sales Activity Tracking Works

You do not have access to your competitor's CRM. But their buyers' activity is public, and that is what Letterdrop captures. Letterdrop tracks buyer activity tied to your competitors that correlates with active sales cycles — public research, category evaluation patterns, and other observable signals — with roughly 70% accuracy.

Think of it as your competitor's shadow CRM. You do not see their pipeline stages or opportunity values. But you do see which prospects are warming up to them from publicly visible behavior. And that is often all you need to know who to call today.

What Letterdrop Delivers for Each Competitive Signal

When Letterdrop detects a competitive evaluation signal, it delivers a contact-level opportunity to your CRM or Slack. This includes the prospect's name, job title, company, the signal that fired, and a suggested outreach message your rep can approve and send immediately. Contacts are enriched so reps have everything they need to personalize the first touch without additional research.

Why Timing Is Everything in Competitive Interception

A buyer in the early stages of evaluating a competitor can still be influenced. They have not decided yet. A rep who reaches them at this stage with a credible, relevant message can shape how the buyer thinks about the evaluation criteria, what they expect from a solution, and why your approach is different. A rep who finds out after the deal closes has no influence at all.

Letterdrop updates competitive signals daily. Reps receive fresh opportunities every morning so the window to intercept a deal never closes without their knowledge.
