"Our competitive win rates have increased as much as 59% since rolling out Crayon Battlecards."
"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."
"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."
“Onboarding to Crayon is so simple and intuitive, it’s easy to find the intel you need and to submit new intel. I would recommend this tool to anyone. Crayon is always the first place I check whenever a customer brings up a competitor, regardless of whether I’m familiar with them already or not.”
“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.”
"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."
"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."
"Before Crayon, we were finding that our competitor information was constantly out of date, and we needed a way to stay up to date with industry changes, in real time.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."
“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.”
“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.”
"We can now proactively provide our distributors with the intelligence and guidance they need when coming up against competitors in hospital bid situations."
“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.”
