Soft sales craft under pressure, before the pod goes sideways

Team IQ

Practice the inside-pod room. Review the evidence. Assign the next episode.

Reps rehearse retro, 1:1, and peer moments with Klara in the room. That is team craft, not Deal IQ whole-deal buyer work. Managers read the evidence and assign the next episode in Revenue Command Center.

From retro to the next assign. One loop.

Deal IQ is the whole-deal buyer room, hard craft. Team IQ is the pod, soft craft. Same manager spine.

Three skills for this person. Not a 24-skill dump.

What managers actually measure

Not personality types. Which skill the person reached for, in which scene, and whether peers stayed with them, went quiet, or pushed back.

Not trait labels. Well matched here, risky here, wrong tool.Situational fit

Why the inside room matters

Pods break in the retro and the 1:1, not only with the buyer. Team IQ makes that visible.

  • Handoffs and a late deck show up on the retro board before they show up in the forecast.
  • Managers often have Deal IQ evidence and still miss who went quiet in the pod.
  • Trait labels do not survive Nina going quiet. Situational fit does.

What is live

Team IQ FAQ

What is the Team IQ loop?

Managers fit 3 to 5 focus skills to that person. The rep plays retro, 1:1, and peer beats. Polar and provenance (input, reaction, engine, Klara) land on the person record. You assign the next episode from Revenue Command Center.

How is Team IQ different from Deal IQ?

Deal IQ is hard craft: the whole deal with buyers, Territory through Debrief. Team IQ is soft craft: retro, 1:1, and peer pressure inside the pod. Same manager spine. Different room.

What does provenance mean here?

Every note is tagged input, reaction, engine, or Klara. You can see what the rep did, how the pod reacted, what the engine scored, and the sparse in-scene line. Charts wait until debrief.

What is the public try?

STEAMIQ. Week 3 retro on the Relay Platform EMEA pod. About 20 minutes. GISLIVE is Deal IQ live buyer, not this door.

Do you label reps as weak at empathy?

No. Team IQ reports situational fit: which skill landed in which scene, not a permanent trait score.

What does Klara do here?

Klara is the live AI coach in the episode. Short reads in the scene. Charts wait until debrief.

Where does the evidence go?

Debrief first, then the person record in Revenue Command Center. Managers assign the next episode from that evidence.

Can we run our own pod world?

Yes, after a pilot. Managers pick genre and focus skills, or generate a custom pod. The public try stays STEAMIQ.

Pod first. Evidence for the manager.

Act IV · Assign

The retro, then the evidence.
