The problem

There isn’t enough time for research.

Selling to big accounts is hard. Each one takes hours of research and a whole buying committee to understand, every person with different priorities. Reps rarely have that time for every account, so the research gets cut short. And now that AI fills every buyer’s inbox with generic outreach, understanding the account is what sets a seller apart.

The one thing buyers value most is the one thing your team has no time to do.

  • 78%

    of sellers missed their quota in 2025, up from 69% the year before.

    Add an account, get the report and the outreach

    Paste the URL of a company you want to sell to. Applied IQ researches the company and writes the intelligence report. It covers:

    • Opportunity. The company’s pain points, mapped to what you sell.
    • Why now. Hiring, funding, launches, leadership changes, budget cycles.
    • Who to contact. The roles that sign off, what each one cares about, and what each one will push back on.
    • What to say. Sales hypotheses about the account, and outreach written from them for every channel: email, LinkedIn, call script, voicemail, sequence.

    An intelligent report. Instant answers to the unexpected.

    Our report is not a document you read once. Something unexpected always happens mid-deal: a competitor comes up on a call, a new stakeholder appears, the CFO asks for numbers. You just ask Agent Chat.

    You can also feed it more information. Drop in your call notes or a new piece of information and have the report refine itself. Ask for more contacts, more detail on a persona, or a fresh email for the new stakeholder.

      Who can sign this off at Ramp? The SVP of Sales makes the call. He started at Ramp as its first SDR, so he likes tools built in-house. Your champion is the Head of Strategic Sales: his reps carry 25 to 30 deals each and have to find their own pipeline, so they feel the research load most. The VP of Data is the gate. If the report does not land in Salesforce, he will treat it as optional. Sources: Ramp leadership page · Strategic AE job posting, Aug 2026 · GTM Systems Engineer posting, Aug 2026

      What will they push back with? “We could build this ourselves.” Ramp’s co-CEO said it in public: “if we need a better tool, we build it.” They also have an engineering team just for sales tools. So bring it up first. An in-house build can pull data and draft emails. It does not give you a sourced account report. Sources: Karim Atiyeh on X, 2026-08-26 · Ramp careers, GTM Platform roles

      A new SDR manager was just hired. Does that matter? Yes. On 2026-09-07 Ramp posted a Manager, Sales Development for its mid-market team. Part of the job is to build a library of prospecting research by hand. That is the problem you solve, and a brand-new team has no old habits to protect. Start the pilot there.

    How does Applied IQ compare to DIY?

    ChatGPT in one tab, LinkedIn in another, a spreadsheet, and outdated CRM logs. No wonder most reps hate research. It doesn’t have to be this difficult.

    The DIY approach

    • Time consuming. Hours of prompting, tab-hopping, copying and pasting per account.
    • Different for every rep. Everyone prompts differently, so everyone gets different results.
    • No memory of your product. ChatGPT or Claude does not know what you sell unless you paste it in every time.
    • No sources. You get the claim. Checking it is your job.
    • Nothing survives the tab. Close it and the research is gone.
    • Stale. Training cutoffs mean yesterday’s news, or older.
    • No answers to the unexpected. New stakeholder, new objection, back to the research.
    • Works for 5 accounts. Breaks at 50+.

    The Applied IQ way

    • Time saved. Paste the URLs. The research runs automatically.
    • Same quality for every rep. Account knowledge stops being a bottleneck for your reps to hit quota.
    • Everything is about your product. Every report is built against your product.
    • Every claim sourced. Source, confidence score and date on every fact.
    • Fresh knowledge. Researched now, against the open web, no training cutoff.
    • Instant answers mid-deal. Agent Chat answers from the report and shows where the answer came from.
    • Scalable. Works for 5 accounts or 500, no change to the experience.
    • Behind every report: over 200 AI agents, working together on one account.

    What does Applied IQ do for your role?

    Every message written from real research.

    Applied IQ researches each account against your product and gives you the reason to reach out, who to reach out to, and the first email or LinkedIn message written from it. No more generic templates that go straight to spam.

    Numbers speak for themselves.

    What published research says about teams that prepare properly and put AI to work on it.

    • 86%

      of business buyers are more likely to buy when the vendor understands their objectives.

    • 73%

      of B2B buyers actively avoid or ignore vendor outreach they find irrelevant.

      Gartner, 2025

    • 82%

      of top-performing salespeople always research before contacting a prospect. Under half of other sellers do.

    Who built Applied IQ?

    Jonathan Ouellet, co-founder and CEO of Applied IQ.

    Jonathan Ouellet sold enterprise software at Oracle for ten years and managed hundreds of reps. The research gap between his best reps and the rest was the problem he could never train away. He co-founded Applied IQ to close it.

    “After a decade at Oracle, we built the tool I wished I had.”

    Jonathan Ouellet

    CEO & Co-Founder

    What should you know before using Applied IQ?

    • What do I need to start?

      The URL of your product and the URL of a company you want to sell to. We take it from there.

    • Is Applied IQ for me?

      We help SDRs, AEs, sales managers and sales leaders who need to research accounts and contacts at scale and with high quality.

    • How long until I can read a report?

      Applied IQ runs the research in the background. Your time on it is the reading, which is minutes, instead of the 5 to 6 hours per account a rep spends doing the research by hand.

    • Does it work with our CRM?

      Yes. Reports live alongside the account, and messaging exports to email, LinkedIn and your CRM. A specific CRM integration is set up with you during onboarding.

    • Can’t we just use ChatGPT for this?

      You can ask ChatGPT or Claude about a company. You get an answer with no sources, no memory of your product, and nothing the next rep can open. Applied IQ builds the research once, keeps it with the account, and shows where every claim came from.

    • What does it cost?

      There is a free trial with no credit card required. Pricing is on the pricing page.

    The research is done for you. Spend your time selling instead.

    Try it on one of your accounts.
