The Competitor-Page Poacher
6 min read · Intermediate
Someone reading reviews of your competitor is in-market right now. That is the warmest cold audience there is.
Scrape review sites, comparison pages, and competitor followers, then reach out with a specific reason to look — a real gap you close, never a swipe at the other product.

- Quick question about {Company}
Hi {FirstName}, I noticed {Company} is growing fast. We help companies like yours with {Service} and I'd love to chat. Would you be open to a quick call this week?

- on the fence with [[Competitor]]?
Hey [[FirstName]] — saw [[Company]] is weighing options like [[Competitor]]. Most teams that switch to us do it for [[Specific Gap]]. Not knocking them — just where we tend to fit better. Worth a quick look?

How to set it up
- 1Pick the competitors worth poaching
Choose the ones you genuinely beat on a specific dimension — you'll need that dimension for the angle.
- 2Scrape the in-market signal
Pull reviewers, comparison-page traffic sources, and public followers of the competitor.
- 3Suppress their happy customers
Filter out anyone who clearly loves the incumbent — you want the fence-sitters, not a fight.
- 4Lead with the gap, not the dig
Name the specific reason teams switch. Respectful and concrete beats trash-talk every time.
Rather we just run it?
We run outbound end to end and only deliver qualified leads. We say no more than yes — if it is not a fit, we will tell you.
