Being a B2B account executive today means spinning ten plates while sprinting toward a quota that doesn’t care how full your calendar is. Between deals slipping, stakeholders ghosting, and last-minute forecast pressure, most reps are forced to react instead of execute. That’s exactly what Pod fixes.
Pod is the AI deal intelligence platform that turns chaos into clarity. It lives inside your actual workflow and nudges you with deal-specific guidance at every step — from pipeline triage to post-call follow-up. It’s not another dashboard. It’s not another tool to remember to open. It’s your operating system for selling smarter, faster, and with more confidence.
With Pod, reps close deals faster and more predictably — getting all of them to act, think, and sell like your top performers.
Below, we’ve mapped out nine key moments in a seller’s day where Pod becomes indispensable — surfacing insights, nudging next steps, and giving reps a clear edge in the moments that matter most.
The first thing most reps do? Open their CRM, then immediately regret it. Too many tabs, too many deals, no clear sense of what matters most. When you have 30+ deals in your pipeline, it’s a bit of a head scratcher to understand where to spend your time. And time is your most valuable resource.
With Pipeline Prioritization, Pod gives you a daily prioritization view that shows you exactly which deals to focus on. Your highest-impact deals are ranked based on 10+ signals — including engagement, momentum, urgency, sentiment, and risk signals. Reps love it because it cuts the noise. Managers love it because reps stop sandbagging.
Pro tip: Check out the “Why this deal?” breakdown in the prioritization view — perfect for explaining your pipeline logic during your next 1:1.
No more digging through Gong recordings at 1.5x speed, clicking through Salesforce to remember who said what, or scrolling emails to figure out what you promised.
Pod’s Meeting Brief gives you instant context before every call — including who’s attending, sentiment analysis on attendees, recommended talking points, and conversation starters. You show up prepared, focused, and ready to steer the conversation with purpose — without needing to scramble last-minute.
Pro tip: Every Meeting Brief includes a suggested list of topics to cover and questions to ask, so you can lead with relevance. Use Notes in Pod to jot down live insights and update the deal in real time — no post-call cleanup required.
Every AE has had that moment — you’re three calls in and just found out Procurement has a totally separate decision-maker. Pod catches that early.
As you log activity or upload calls, use Stakeholder Mapping to know exactly how to optimize your buying committee. It identifies who’s involved, who’s missing, and who you should be talking to based on past Closed-Won deals. If you’re single-threaded, Pod flags it and even suggests specific roles to add, pulled from deals just like yours.
Once you’ve got the right people in the room, Pod’s Contact Sentiment helps you engage them the right way. It tracks how each stakeholder is reacting — excited, neutral, or showing signs of concern — so you can tailor your approach. Spot the silent detractors early, double down on what’s resonating, and make sure no one important is checked out or confused.
Pro tip: Pod shows you the likelihood that a contact is your potential champion — use that to build influence before you need internal help getting the deal unstuck.
Let’s be honest: “Great meeting, looking forward to next steps” is not a follow-up.
With Pod’s Email Assistant, you will automatically drafted call recap email that includes action items, key takeaways, and embedded stakeholder sentiment. It highlights questions and objections in-line, so you can resolve concerns instead of letting them fester. You still sound like you — Pod just does 80% of the writing for you.
You can rely on the Deal Coach and Meeting Brief to surface when you should send a follow-up email. This way, you’ll keep momentum on the opportunity and close faster.
Pro tip: Pod syncs with Gmail and Outlook, so the email is pre-drafted and fine-tuned to the specific tone/vocabulary you use in your communications.
This is where deals die — not because the buyer isn’t interested, but because the rhythm slips, next steps blur, and suddenly everyone’s “just waiting on an update.”
Deal Coach spots the stall before it becomes a burial, throwing red-or-yellow flags on single-threaded access, cooling sentiment, or stage-age creep. Right alongside those flags, it offers three bite-sized, data-backed moves to reignite momentum — share a relevant case study, loop in an executive sponsor, or kick off a fresh mutual action plan — and even drafts the email copy for each so you can act in seconds.
Pro tip: Jump into Deal Prioritization and click on Deals at Risk. It’s the fastest way to surface opportunities that are losing steam, letting you use Deal Coach’s recommendations before the deal flatlines.
No one likes pipeline theater. Pod replaces guesswork with clear signals on deal health. You can walk into a pipeline review with your manager and show exactly why a deal is healthy (or not) — whether it’s due to stakeholder coverage, sentiment shifts, or timeline ambiguity.
And if you’ve been following Pod’s AI recommendations, you’ll have the receipts.
Pro tip: Pod tracks your “coachability” — how often you act on suggested actions. That’s your quiet flex in front of leadership.
Quarter-end is looming and the VP wants a clean “what’s going to land?” list. Start in Pipeline View: it rolls every opportunity into one holistic dashboard you can slice any way you like—stage, segment, owner, ARR band, even risk score. You can usethe Kanban board to see exactly where each deal sits and which columns are getting crowded.
No more stitching together spreadsheets or second-guessing rep gut-feel; the view is driven by real momentum and engagement signals, so you immediately spot where you’re over- or under-weighted.
For any deal that makes you pause, jump straight into Account 360° to inspect its health flags, stakeholder sentiment, and historical timeline. In seconds you know whether the path to signature is clear or clogged—and whether that deal belongs in Commit or Best Case.
Accurate forecasting starts with an honest read on deal health, and Pod gives you that clarity without the manual gymnastics.
Pro tip: Save a “Quarter Commit” filter in Pipeline View (docs here) so one click shows just the deals slated to close this quarter. You’ll walk in already backed by the numbers.
Before you log off, Pod helps you lock in your game plan for tomorrow. It highlights outstanding follow-ups, deals that are heating up, and tasks you haven’t completed — so you know exactly where to focus next.
You’ll also get a heads-up on all upcoming customer and prospect meetings with Meeting Briefs already generated, giving you a jump start on prep before your day even starts.
Need to clean up your pipeline before EOD? Head over to Organize — Pod surfaces smart, automated recommendations to tidy up your CRM. From outdated close dates to missing contacts or stage mismatches, it flags the gaps and lets you fix them with a single click.
Pro tip: Forward your action plan and meeting lineup to your SDR or CS counterpart so everyone’s in sync — without adding another meeting to the calendar.
The best reps don’t just run plays — they improve them. With Pod’s Framework Analysis, you can look back on each of your deals to see how well you’ve made progress. Pod will automatically evaluate which topics from your sales methodology framework you covered, where you got stuck, and what actually moved forward in the deal.
This isn’t just useful for you — it helps create playbooks that new reps can learn from, and managers can use for coaching based on what actually works.
Pro tip: As a manager, incorporate Pod’s framework analysis into your pipeline reviews to have a common language to diagnose deals and discuss strategically how to push deals forward.
Pod isn’t another dashboard you have to babysit; it’s an always-on co-pilot that sits at the heart of your workflow, surfacing the next best action at every moment of the day. From the first pipeline scan to the last retro report, Pod keeps you focused on revenue-generating work and shields you from admin toil.
The result? Higher win rates, shorter cycles, and fewer “Hey, what’s the status on…?” pings from your VP. Ready to see it live? Fire up a free trial or book a five-minute demo — and start turning pipeline into progress.
