Hey Product Hunt โ˜€๏ธ @patrick_monnot here, founder of Pod ๐Ÿ‘‹ In the past year, weโ€™ve helped hundreds of the best salespeople in the world to close more deals, faster ๐Ÿš€. They told us what was blocking them from closing deals. We listened. We learned.๐Ÿ‘‚ ๐Ÿค” What we've learned from users? The biggest takeaway: Simplifying admin work & data entry sure helps, but it doesnโ€™t get reps to close more deals. The real problem is that salespeople get stuck in their pipeline because they donโ€™t know where to focus and what to do. Reps are overwhelmed with a tide of tools, information, and processes that get in the way of selling. They end up โ€˜flying blindโ€™ and โ€˜winging itโ€™ - they lack the direction to know how to push deals over the finish line. ๐Ÿš€ Welcome to the new sales home: Pod 2.0 Weโ€™re thrilled to launch the new & improved Pod - the AI pipeline coach for sellers. Pod uses broad AI to help sellers manage their pipeline smarter, so they can close more deals, faster. Pod guides sellers on the deals to focus on and the best sales plays to push them forward. Youโ€™re probably tired of hearing about AI writing emails or transcribing calls... Everyone claims it's making sellers more productive. The fact is, it's simply not enough. Pod 2.0 goes way beyond.

With Pod, sellers achieve ๐ŸŒŸ Higher win rate ๐ŸŒŸ Faster time-to-close ๐ŸŒŸ Up to 10 less hours of admin work per week ๐ŸŒŸ Improve ramp-up time for new reps Whatโ€™s now? ๐Ÿ”ฅ Pod is free forever (and only takes seconds to get started).

@patrick_monnot @chrismessina As someone who values efficiency in sales processes, I'm intrigued by Pod's promise to prioritize pipeline management and provide guidance on sales plays. Can you share more about how Pod leverages AI to analyze data and offer personalized recommendations to sales reps?
Patrick Monnot
@antonikozelski Thank you so much for the kind comment! Much appreciated. We're hard at work for sellers.
Patrick Monnot
@ena_gluhakovic That's a great question! Deal prioritization is a very interesting use case for sellers. Reps huggle with 20, 30, or 40+ deals daily and it's difficult to know where to spend time (vs. what to write off / move on from) We look at the data from every seller's pipeline (i.e., deal details, velocity, pace, stakeholders, etc.) and compare them to one another to identify the ones most exciting. We provide visibility for our users to understand the prioritization through deal signals (underlying qualitative indicators of the deal). Hope this helps :)

congrats on the launch of pod 2.0. the focus on guiding sellers to prioritize effectively sounds intriguing. could you share how the ai coach adapresses various sales styles or industries
Patrick Monnot
@mashy Great question - that's the million-dollar question. We avoid trying to come up with "theoretical" parameters to analyze deals. We focus on looking at each company's historical data and benchmarking to it. This allows us to make an "apples-to-apples" comparison which accounts for company-specific sales process, methodology, style, and industry. Happy to chat more about it :)

Seems to help B2B efficiency and profits....
Patrick Monnot
@toshit_garg Good question! This is about helping salespeople be more efficient and effective. Spend time on things that are worth it and do it in a smart way. It obviously has an economic impact, but we've seen that this can also improve the work experience of sellers too!

Hey @patrick_monnot congrats on the launch! ๐Ÿฅณ What could be the USP of your product which makes it different from another?? keep going.
Patrick Monnot
@sheikhirfan10 Thank you for your response! We focus on helping account executives make better decisions where most solutions in our space help them to be more productive. We helped them identify the priority deals, identify best next actions, or synthesize product research. This is what we've seen as making the biggest difference in converting more deals. Hope this helps :)
