Sales call coaching

Augment Rep · High Reason · High

The problem

Sales managers can't listen to every call. Coaching is reactive: you correct after a deal is lost. By then the rep has the same habit on 20 more calls.

The AI approach

Auto-coach every call. Score talk-ratio, question density, must-cover topics, sentiment trajectory. LLM writes 3 specific coaching points within 30 min of the call ending.

The outcome

~+18% close rate

Reps see metrics within 30 min of the call. Close rate up ~18% in 90 days for reps who actually adopt the feedback.

3 coaching points (positive-led):
✓ Strong product knowledge — handled the integration question well.
→ Talk less, ask more. You spoke 74% of the time. Try the 43:57 ratio top reps hit — start with 2-3 open questions before any pitch.
→ Decision-process question never came up. Add: "Walk me through how a tool like this gets approved at Maxx?" — this saves you 3 weeks of cycle time.

Three AI types in this use case

SymbolicMust-cover topics (price, timeline, decision-process, next-step); banned phrases (over-promising); rep tier rules (more lenient on probation).
PredictiveSTT + diarisation; talk-ratio computation; question density; sentiment trajectory across the call; filler-word counter.
GenerativeLLM writes 3 specific coaching observations + a positive lead — never punitive.

When this works

  • Reps bought into the data
  • Manager uses it for coaching, not punishment
  • Calls genuinely vary in shape
  • ≥ 3 reps to benchmark against

When it fails

  • Wielded as a stick → rep stops talking on calls
  • Ratio gamed (rep just stops talking)
  • Culturally inappropriate baseline
  • Raw scores published team-wide → toxicity
