What this tells us

EMEA pods are pulling the line. APAC and NA SMB need workflow re-design before more training — they have the rules, not the rails.

The plan

Three things to do this quarter

Sequenced so each one makes the next one easier.

01

Add an AI review step before proposals go out

Less rewriting. More trust.

Weeks 1–6
02

Replace the policy PDF with a 1-page playbook

Reps know what's allowed.

Weeks 1–4
03

Coach managers to review AI work the same way

One quality bar across pods.

Weeks 5–12
