Battle Card Template for Low-Touch Competitors

A six-field battle card built for self-serve and PLG competitors, where the deal isn't lost on a feature gap but on the second invoice

3 min read·For PMM·Updated Apr 27, 2026

A low-touch competitor is one your buyer can sign up for on a Tuesday afternoon without talking to anyone — typically PLG or self-serve, often cheaper, often "good enough" for the first ninety days. The battle card you wrote for your enterprise rivals will not work here. Different physics, different objections, different exit ramps.

The standard card assumes a head-to-head bake-off. The low-touch card assumes the buyer already swiped a credit card and is now asking why they should rip it out.

Low-touch defense = Switching pain × Time-to-second-invoice × Ceiling visibility

If all three are low, walk away. The deal isn't there yet.

What the card has to do differently

Three things, in order. Get the order wrong and the rep loses the room.

The template

Six fields. One competitor per card. Update quarterly or when their pricing page changes — whichever comes first.
