Welcome to CardStrike

You’ve installed the extension. Now what? This guide walks you through your first week with CardStrike, from initial setup to generating your first competitive battlecard.

Day 1: Set Up Your Profile

Click the CardStrike extension and complete the onboarding:

  • Company name: Your company (the one you’re selling for)
  • What you sell: 2-3 sentences about your product
  • Why you’re better: Key differentiators
  • Who you sell to: Your ideal customer profile

This takes 2 minutes and powers all your battlecards. The more specific you are, the better your results.

Day 2: Generate Your First Battlecard

Visit a competitor’s website (try your biggest rival). Click the CardStrike extension. Switch to the Competitive tab and click Generate battlecard.

In 10 seconds, you’ll have:

  • What to say: How to position against this competitor
  • Question to ask: Redirect the conversation to your strengths
  • Proof point: Concrete evidence you’re better

Day 3: Try Account Radar

Before your next sales call, visit the prospect’s website. Open CardStrike, switch to the Account tab, and click Prep call.

You’ll get an instant pre-call brief with fit score, pain points, and discovery questions.

Day 4-7: Build the Habit

Use CardStrike before every call. Make it part of your pre-call routine. Within a week, it becomes second nature.
