Customer Success Manager

About Crayon

Deals are more competitive than ever! 55% of companies say they have more competitive deals than they did a year ago, and sellers are facing competitors in nearly 7 out of every 10 deals. 

And yet the typical company rates their effectiveness in competitive selling just a 3.8 out of 10 — a painful reminder that most teams are losing head to head competitive deals they should be winning. 

In fact, the typical enterprise is losing $2 to $10 million a year in competitive deals they could have won!

At Crayon, we literally fix this.

We're building software that helps sales teams win competitive deals at a higher rate. This is a problem that had been waiting for AI to come along. Our software transforms mountains of unstructured data into actionable, winning sales plays and deadly talk tracks. We do it in real-time, at-scale, using AI.

If you want to build something big and you're passionate about how generative AI is transforming go-to-market, we'd love to meet you!
