40 Crayon Testimonials

“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.”

"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."

"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 job with this."

“Most battlecard updates are a no-brainer. Of course you make updates when competitors release big announcements and/or your launch a new capability that changes your competitive positioning. Prioritizing when your incorporate other insights can be more challenging considering competitive intel volume. I update Tier One battlecards quarterly and use field intel themes, win/loss findings, and recent wins and displacements to determine what gets added, edited, or even removed from battlecard content.”

"We really wanted a tool to collect and aggregate timely insights and make them easily accessible and usable, that's what Crayon was able to provide for us."

"Battlecards help us keep information consistent and up-to-date and helps us eliminate the need to chase down old decks. There's a real feedback loop. Our Sales team is leaving comments based on their own field knowledge — it's creating positive conversations."

"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 been missing a whole world of valuable intelligence."

“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.”

"From the start, Crayon’s flexibility and support have been critical for establishing a strong CI foundation customized to our needs."

“What stood out about Crayon was the ease of information access and filtering. Our competitive landscape is diverse, so in getting our competitive intel, one of the most important things is to be able to search for exactly the information we need."

"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.”

“The Crayon platform was the clear fit. We knew Crayon could help our teams access the necessary intel to win more competitive deals.”

“Having integrations set up helps the sales team find what they need right when they need it.”
