How to Keep RFPs Moving When Your SE Is on PTO

Summer’s here—and so are vendor forms.
While your top Sales Engineers are out enjoying time with their families, the RFPs don’t stop rolling in. Someone still has to get them done—and without the right tools, that “someone” often ends up patching together half-finished content or chasing down vacationing SMEs just to hit send.
That’s where Iris comes in.
Instead of letting deals stall or throwing together rushed responses, teams can rely on Iris to fill in the blanks—accurately, contextually, and on-brand. By ingesting past responses, internal documentation, and formatting preferences, Iris learns how your best SEs work—then replicates their tone, structure, and technical nuance using custom personas.
| Before Iris | With Iris |
|---|---|
| SME on PTO | RFP sits idle or gets rushed |
| Iris drafts using their past responses and tone | |
| Collaboration | Email threads and Slack chaos |
| In-platform tagging, version control, and comment threads | |
| Version Control | “Where’s the latest draft?” |
| Full audit trails on every response | |
| Content Consistency | Inconsistent tone and accuracy |
