The template
Subject: Thinking about moving from {{competitor}}?
Hi {{first_name}},
Several {{company_type}} teams have been asking us about migrating from {{competitor}} recently.
The most common reasons: {{pain_1}}, {{pain_2}}, and {{pain_3}}.
We built {{product}} as a direct alternative — {{key_differentiation}}. Teams typically switch in {{migration_time}} and {{positive_outcome}}.
Worth a conversation?
{{sender_name}}How to use it: Replace all {{placeholder}} variables with specific details before sending. The more specific your replacements, the higher your reply rate.
Personalization tips
- 01Be specific about the competitor's limitations — vague criticisms sound defensive.
- 02Lead with the pain point, not a competitor attack.
- 03Have a migration story ready — ease of switching is usually the primary objection.
