codykeegan.aiThe Idea
Your competitors are training your sales scripts for you in public. Every 1-star review is a customer saying exactly what they wish was different — in their own words. Stack 50 of those reviews, feed them to Claude with the Steal Prompt, and out comes 5 patterns: what customers hate, what they wish for, what closes them. Use those exact phrases in your outreach and demos.
The wedge: Most operators guess at positioning. Your competitors' angry customers wrote it for you. Free.

How AI Runs It — 5 Steps
- Pick the competitor — Direct competitor or category leader. Both work.
- Copy 50 reviews — Mix of 1-star, 2-star, 5-star. The 1-stars tell you what customers HATE. The 5-stars tell you what they LOVE. Both matter.
- Paste into Claude with the Steal Prompt — The template structures the analysis: extract sales-script patterns, identify hidden objections, find positioning gaps.
- Get 5 patterns back — Each one in customer language. Examples: "I wish they answered the phone", "too pushy", "never explained what's included."
- Drop those exact phrases into your demos and outreach — Customer words close. Industry jargon doesn't.
Path To Revenue
Week 1
5 patterns identified. Sales scripts updated. First test calls feel different — customers nod, not stare.
Month 3
Closing rate up 20-40%. You're using their language.
Month 6
Process becomes part of every new market entry — pre-launch positioning instead of guessing.
The Math
1 additional client/month × your LTV = the floor. Most operators see this within 30 days of using the prompt seriously.
You do: ~30 minutes per competitor analysis. Done quarterly per major competitor.
AI does: Pattern extraction, theme clustering, sales-script suggestion, objection mapping.
Why Now (2026)
- Review platforms (Yelp, Google, Reddit) are publicly readable — no scraping needed for small batches.
- Claude's 2026 context window holds 100+ reviews easily — no truncation, no chunking.
- Most operators in your category still don't do this. The pattern advantage is sitting in plain sight.
Steal what works. Skip the years of guessing. Your competitors did the research for you and posted it publicly.
