22. Zia competitor Alerta
Every time a lead or a contact mentions your competitor in their email content, Zia will identify the name and notify the sales reps (or CRM users). They can take insights from their conversation, make a note of their interests, and understand their requirements that can be used to modify existing strategies.
For example, in the email below Kim mentions the competitor's name (Zylker Tech) and states that they may consider the product if some customizations are provided. So, if the rep gets a notification about this email he can quickly forward the message to the product team who can follow-up with Kim, get her requirements, and adjust their product on demand basis.
Similarly, one can add multiple competitor names that Zia can identify and notify the reps. By taking cues from the prospect's emails, companies can align sales strategies and pitch right marketing ideas.
Note that Zia will identify the keywords only if it is present in the body content and email subjects, not when it is used in greetings or signatures.
