CRM Sales Platforms battle cards
These are battlecards for selling in CRM Sales Platforms: what each vendor in the market says about itself, quoted from its own website, and the objections those claims put in a buyer's mouth. We track 21 vendors here and have read 1486 claims from their product, solution, pricing and documentation pages. The roster runs from 7 enterprise suites through 4 mid-market products to 10 newer challengers, so the same theme is argued at very different scales.
