"I’d estimate over the last year we’ve used Crayon, there have been at least five big pieces of news – major scoops – that we would have just missed without it."
"We save 32 hours per month by using the Crayon platform. That translates to massive savings based on the efficiency gains alone."
“Having integrations set up helps the sales team find what they need right when they need it.”
“AI is incredibly promising and can be helpful today for content summarization, but is still a long way from credibly conducting win/loss interviews by itself. Until it has feelings — not just the ability to sense them in others, but to experience them itself — it will lack the dignity that I believe is essential to a meaningful human connection.”
"It's addicting. I have six tabs permanently open in my browser, and Crayon is one of them."
"Crayon found our competitors’ internal training videos, which uncovered incredible intel on how and why they were investing in different areas. This initiated a productive conversation about how and why we wanted to allocate our investments."
“The big ‘aha moment’ for us was the feeds. We started realizing that there was great information coming in that they didn’t have to search for. When we began sharing those insights with the executive team, it spurred support from the top-down.”
“I went into Crayon for the battlecards and got really excited about the competitive insights. They save me so much time. Everything I need is clearly highlighted and easy to incorporate directly back into the battlecards."
“We have a fast growing sales team of hundreds of reps. With that much growth, competitive intelligence needs to be as easy as possible for reps to consume — we’re talking a few minutes tops. Crayon has been the ideal solution to meet that need.”
“After using Crayon, we’ve been really impressed with the insights we get daily on our competitors. The insights functionality is more advanced than what we had with our previous CI vendor.”
“The tools we were using didn't have the breadth of intel we needed to understand what our competitors were doing, and the intel wasn't getting surfaced fast enough. We were missing opportunities to get ahead of our competitors and consuming precious resources chasing down intel."
"The Competitive Center of Excellence is an invaluable resource to our sales team. Knowing we have people and software continuously analyzing the competitive landscape enables our team to sell with confidence, and provides us with the right intel, for the right situation, at the right time."
“Doing nothing or doing ad-hoc work doesn’t cut it and is purely reactionary, so the cost of doing nothing becomes expensive. Instead, an impactful CI program starts with the right intel, being able to clearly identify who you're tracking, consistently track their movement, how to organize it and absorb it and tweak it. We felt like Crayon gave us the best opportunity to track at scale and even more critically — to help us transfer our intel to exceptional enablement, training, and battlecard initiatives and programs.”
“As we formalized our program centrally, we picked up a lot of the existing programs -- battlecards, sales collateral, sales plays -- and started plugging into them, and putting measure to them in ways we hadn’t been able to before.”
"Everyone stays informed, even when there are constant shifts in our landscape."
