40 Crayon Testimonials

"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."

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

"We can now proactively provide our distributors with the intelligence and guidance they need when coming up against competitors in hospital bid situations."

“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 new AI developments but also understand and be able to advise on their implications and potential pitfalls.”

“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.”

"A sales rep recently told me Kong’s competitive intelligence program is one of the best he’s ever seen."

"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 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."

"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."

“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.”

“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."

"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."
