Competitive displacement research
Research an incumbent vendor's weaknesses before a displacement deal. Understand why customers are unhappy with the current solution, what triggers them to evaluate alternatives, and how to position your strengths against their specific gaps.
My prospect is replacing their incumbent vendor, Oracle ERP. What are the most common reasons companies switch away from Oracle, and what should I lead with in my pitch?
Top Oracle ERP displacement drivers: implementation cost overruns (average 40% over budget), long upgrade cycles (18–24 months), and customization that breaks on updates. Companies typically reach switching point 3–5 years post-go-live when maintenance cost exceeds value. Winning positioning: implementation speed, lower TCO, and cloud-native without legacy baggage.

Before I present our $2.1M enterprise contract to Brightfield Corp, I need a financial health check — are they stable enough for a multi-year commitment? Check their company filings and any public financial data.
Brightfield Corp: 12 years in operation, registered in Delaware, active status. 3 directors, 1 entity change 2 years ago (merger, not a red flag). No public financials (private company). Recent news: hired new CFO 4 months ago (often precedes financing activity). Recommend requesting audited financials or trade credit references before multi-year commitment.

For a typical enterprise DMU, search for Director+ titles across IT, Finance, Operations, and the business unit most affected. This gives you a starting map before your champion helps fill in the political dynamics.
