Introducing Crayon Answers: The Industry's First Gen AI Compete Assistant for your Revenue Team

In today's fiercely competitive sales landscape, two-thirds of open deals are head-to-head with competitors. Yet, traditional competitive enablement is falling short. Battlecards, while essential, have become table stakes.

Battlecards are a foundational piece of your compete program, but adoption can be a challenge. Sales reps often find it difficult to quickly locate and extract the precise information they need during critical moments. Clearly, there has to be a more efficient way for sales teams to access critical insights—faster and more intuitively.

That’s where we come in.

Our Competitive Edge

Traditionally in the competitive enablement market, vendors have focused solely on battlecards, constantly refining their format and design to make them more "snackable" in hopes of boosting adoption. This approach is outdated and ineffective. The solution isn't about making battlecards easier to navigate; it’s about addressing the real needs of sales reps and bridging the gap between CI and sales.

Communication is king, and internal messaging platforms like Slack and Teams is where it happens. Crayon Answers seamlessly integrates with Slack and Teams, making it even easier for sales reps to get answers.
