THE PROBLEM
Three blind spots your CRM never warned you about.
Your CRM doesn't give you the whole picture. You don't know who is in a sales cycle with your competitor until they're already lost. You don't know who should be in your CRM but currently isn't.

How Letterdrop works
Che
AdyenBraintree
01
Tell us your competitors.
Drop in your top 3–5. We start sending you leads within 10 days. No implementation required.
02
We surface the contacts in your competitors' cycles.
Every day, Letterdrop names the real people talking to your competitors across your customers, open opps, and deals you're not in the room for. Each with a confidence score to prioritize.
Karen LiuVP Finance
03
Your team acts before it's too late.
Signals land in Salesforce, HubSpot, Clay, Slack, Apollo, Outreach, or a spreadsheet. Your AEs intercept new deals. Your CSMs defend customers. Your account team protects open opps.
Sourced from public signals + our proprietary signal graph.
WHY THIS WORKS
Intent data flags who's reading. Letterdrop names who's buying.
6sense and Bombora didn't work because they track accounts reading articles. Letterdrop works because it tracks contacts in live conversations forming with your competitors.

VALIDATED · ONE WEEK OF DATA
On average, 1 in 3 contacts we surface is already an opportunity. iAcross four test partners over one week, we sent them lead data and they cross-validated it against their own CRM. On average, 1 in 3 mapped to an active opportunity. Because they count only deals already logged in the CRM, the true rate is higher.
An open deal, a winnable closed-lost, or a renewal you could displace. All bookable now.

RUN THE PLAY
Every lead comes with a play to run.
Signals drop into the tools you already use, each with a recommended play attached. No new process, no ramp. Your team knows exactly what to do the moment a lead lands.
Sales outreach
Reach out before they decide, without mentioning the competitor.
A buyer mid-evaluation doesn't need another pitch. Don't name who they're talking to. Lead with what makes you different and reframe what they should be evaluating on.
To: First name at Account · Re: before you decide
Hi First name, most teams evaluating category right now compare on the obvious feature. The thing that actually changes the outcome is your real differentiator.
Took 15 minutes to map how we'd handle their use case differently. Worth a look before you lock in a direction?
No competitor named. Leads with the reframe, not a feature war.
Marketing air cover
Throw a wrench in the competitor's deal.
While they evaluate, surround them. Stay present so you're top of mind the day they decide.
✉
Newsletter Drop them into a targeted nurture so your point of view shows up in their inbox during the eval.
◎
Ad retargeting Serve them ads across the web while they're actively comparing options.
★
Event & webinar invites Invite them to a dinner, webinar, or event to build the relationship the competitor can't.
Customer defense
Defend a customer before the renewal turns.
When a competitor starts courting one of your accounts, get ahead of it instead of finding out at renewal.
!
Alert the account owner The moment a competitor shows up on the account, the CSM or AM knows.
↻
Proactive check-in Send a value recap or roadmap preview before the renewal conversation starts.
★
Escalate top accounts Loop in an exec sponsor when a marquee customer is in play.
Every signal lands in Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Clay, Apollo, or Outreach with the play attached. Nothing new to set up.

Common questions
Is this a fit for my company?
Three things: 1. You have customers, open deals, or a market you want to defend. 2. Your competitors collectively have at least 30 sales reps. 3. You can win head-to-head bake-offs once you're in the room.
How is this different from 6sense, Bombora, or Common Room?
Those tools tell you which accounts are reading content in your category. That's account-level and lagging. Letterdrop names the specific buyer in your competitor's sales cycle in real time, because we track contacts and relationships forming, not articles being read.
How accurate are the signals, and how did you validate them?
Every signal ships with a confidence score, so your team works the strongest ones first. We also validated the data independently: across four test partners over one week, they cross-validated our leads against their own CRM and found that on average 1 in 3 was an active opportunity - an open deal, a winnable closed-lost, or a displaceable renewal. Because they counted only deals already in the CRM, the real rate is higher. Every other contact is still an ICP-fit prospect they're targeting.
Can my CSMs use this to defend top customers?
Yes. When a buyer at one of your top accounts starts a sales cycle with a competitor, we surface the contact and the stage. Your account team gets time to intervene before the renewal call goes sideways.
Can my AEs use this on open deals they're already working?
Yes. If a buyer in one of your open opps is also talking to your competitor, we surface it. Your AE can change the playbook (involve a champion, sharpen the proposal, escalate to executive) before the deal stalls.
How does this fit with my ABM motion or target account list?
We surface buyers your competitors are working today. Some will be on your target account list (you use the intel to reach out before they sign with someone else). Others won't be on the list yet but are about to spend money in your category. Your team adds them.
What does onboarding look like?
You share your top competitors, ICP, and tell us where to send leads on a 30-minute call. We show you real signals the next week. You're running daily alerts into your CRM within 10 days of signing. Very low lift to get started.
What do you integrate with?
We write leads to Salesforce, HubSpot, Clay, Slack, Apollo, Outreach, a Google Sheet, or send via webhook. Leads can be enriched and AI-filtered for relevance. SOC2 Type II certified, integrated into Salesforce at multiple public companies.
Stop losing deals you never knew existed.
On average, 1 in 3 leads we find are opps you can win. Start a 30-day pilot and see your own number the same week.
