Competitive intel doesn’t only live in platforms — it lives in scattered files: win/loss interviews, pricing comparisons, analyst PDFs, and internal teardowns.

With Crayon’s new Google Drive integration, those files don’t just sit in folders. Crayon automatically scans them, extracts what matters, and turns that intel into searchable, summarized Insights; delivered directly into battlecards, Sparks, Crayon Answers, and seller workflows like Slack and Salesforce.

This isn’t just a sync. It’s an automation engine for competitive inputs.

Wherever your competitive research lives, even in tools Crayon doesn’t natively connect to, Google Drive becomes the bridge. Drop the files in, and Crayon does the heavy lifting to make sure sellers get what they need to win.

CI From Every Corner of Your Org

This integration closes the gap between where intel is created and where it drives outcomes.

• Running win/loss through a third-party vendor? Export the interviews to Google Drive. Crayon extracts themes and talk tracks automatically.
• Got a folder of teardown decks or pricing one-pagers? Crayon surfaces differentiators and objections and automatically brings them into competitive content.
• Using Google Drive to collaborate with product or enablement teams? Those technical updates now fuel even deeper enablement — not just alignment.

No manual tagging. No formatting. No guessing. Just real competitive insight, automated into the flow of work.

10 High-Impact Use Cases for PMMs

1. Competitive launch materials → Battlecard-ready insights

Store competitive one-pagers, battlecards-in-progress, or objection summaries from a launch in Drive. Crayon turns them into Insights sellers can use right away.

⚡ Speeds up battlecard delivery and keeps positioning fresh post-launch.

2. Pricing comparisons → Objection handling content

Upload competitive pricing sheets or internal deal desk takeaways. Crayon converts these into Insights that feed negotiation guidance and “how we win” playbooks.

💰 Helps sellers push back with confidence in late-stage deals.

3. Win/loss interviews → Competitive talk tracks

If you use a win/loss tool that Crayon doesn’t directly connect to, just export the interviews to Drive. Crayon will generate Insights you can push to the field.

🎙️ Turns retrospective learning into proactive objection handling.

4. Competitive teardowns → Self-serve enablement

Store feature comparisons, head-to-head decks, and teardown docs in a Drive folder. Crayon extracts the key differentiators and surfaces them inside Salesforce or Slack.

🧠 Helps reps counter feature claims without hunting for slides.

5. Analyst & third-party research → Citable intel

Drop PDFs from Gartner, IDC, or commissioned research into Drive. Crayon extracts key stats and quotes for use in battlecards, content, and competitive messaging.

📊 Reduces the time from research to usable differentiation.

6. Deal support docs → Region- or segment-specific insights

Field teams often build region-specific CI docs in Drive. Sync those folders to give sellers verticalized or localized guidance—without duplicating work.

🌍 Delivers more relevant CI without a separate content process.

7. Customer stories & competitive wins → Repeatable proof

Upload case study drafts or competitive win breakdowns. Crayon surfaces reusable themes and evidence sellers can use in similar deals.

🔁 Helps product marketers scale messaging that works.

8. Feedback from the field → Trends & patterns

Store CS notes or field feedback exports in Drive. Crayon turns recurring comments into themes you can validate across sellers and battlecards.

📣 Surfaces front-line signals that would otherwise go unnoticed.

9. Call clips & CRM notes → Alt source of truth

If you don’t use Gong or Chorus, store call recordings or CRM exports in Drive. Crayon will extract relevant talk tracks and patterns from those files.

🧩 Makes it easy to include deal context from tools Crayon doesn’t connect to natively.

10. Content team enablement → Faster writing, fewer rewrites

Let content creators pull competitive Insights directly from synced Drive folders. They’ll get objection lists, win/loss themes, and differentiation nuggets instantly.

✍️ Saves time, strengthens messaging, and reduces rewrites.

From Google Drive Folder to Deal Impact

PMMs produce some of the most valuable content in the company, only to let that content collect dust sitting in a Google Drive. Crayon’s integration bridges that gap by turning those files into Insights that show up when and where sellers need them.

You’re not just organizing content — you’re operationalizing competitive advantage. And Crayon is how you deliver it at scale, automatically, and where it counts: inside the deal.
