The team behind Applied IQ.

From the founder

Most people assume the hard part of enterprise selling is the conversation. After a decade at Oracle, I stopped believing that. The reps closing the biggest deals walked into every call already knowing the account better than the buyer expected. Everything that mattered had happened in the preparation.

Most reps are still in the same spot. Generic template questions, docs put together with ChatGPT half an hour before, walking in not knowing the prospect’s pain. So we built Applied IQ, the sales intelligence platform I wish I’d had on every deal. A briefing per account, ready in the minutes before the call. The ten hours a week reps waste scrambling? That work doesn’t need to exist anymore.
