“​​The feedback we get from new hires that have used other CI vendors is that Crayon is a more modern day, easy to adopt tool than what they’ve come from, and that it's a huge upgrade from what they’ve used in the past.”

“Crayon has been hugely helpful with conducting competitive research during an opportunity. It allows us to act quickly since we aren’t wasting time searching for this information and rapidly adjusting account strategy for the competitive landscape.”

“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."

“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 …

"Everyone stays informed, even when there are constant shifts in our landscape."

“While it’s still early days for incorporating AI into our CI workflows, tracking our competitor’s AI moves — such as new messaging and product releases — became a top priority this past year. As AI continues to dominate the dialogue, CI leaders will be expected to stay ahead of the …

“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."

“I’ve found that Crayon is the best fit for us as we build our CI program and scale up. Without Crayon, we would be manually spending time making updates to competitive assets as opposed to doing strategic competitive intelligence work. Inefficiency is a revenue killer.”

"This academy is super timely. So many resources talk about what CI pros should be doing — but too few focus on how to do it. There’s a big difference, especially in a developing niche that needs some level of activation expertise to uncover value. Crayon has done a good …

“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.”

"Crayon is able to pick up key pieces of competitive intelligence that I regularly may have missed. Despite dedicating my time to competitive research, Crayon surfaced information that would regularly slip through the cracks during traditional analysis. Between Crayon’s mission and the actual product’s technical capabilities, I realized I had …

"Before Crayon, we were finding that our competitor information was constantly out of date, and we needed a way to stay up to date with industry changes, in real time. We also needed a process for successfully sharing intel across the whole organization."

"Our competitive win rates have increased as much as 59% since rolling out Crayon Battlecards."

"We save 32 hours per month by using the Crayon platform. That translates to massive savings based on the efficiency gains alone."
