Competitive Displacement

Your competitors' unhappy customers are your best prospects. Overton watches for signs that a competitor is losing ground and puts those opportunities in front of your team.

What It Is

Competitive displacement is a focused approach to finding and winning customers who are currently using a competitor's product or service but may be ready to switch. Overton monitors online reviews, social media, news mentions, and other public signals to detect when a competitor's customer is unhappy, underserved, or approaching a contract decision point. When these signals appear, your team gets notified with the details they need to reach out with a well-timed, relevant pitch. Instead of hoping that unhappy customers find you on their own, you proactively reach them when they are most open to hearing from someone new.

How It Works

  • Identify your key competitors and the signals that indicate their customers may be unhappy or open to switching
  • Overton monitors review sites, social media, news, and business data for signs of competitor weakness
  • When a signal appears, the prospect is matched with the right contact information for outreach
  • Your team receives a notification with the signal details and a suggested approach for the conversation

Who It's For

  • Businesses in competitive markets where winning customers from rivals is a major source of growth
  • Sales teams that want a systematic way to identify and pursue competitors' dissatisfied customers
  • Business owners who lose deals to competitors and want to turn the tables
  • Any company that knows their product or service is better than the competition and wants to prove it to the right audience
