Sales Conversation Intelligence: Coaching Insights that Drive Performance
Analyze 100% of sales calls automatically. AI flags winning behaviors, reveals skill gaps, and generates targeted coaching plans—reducing review time from 16–25 hours to 2–3 hours while improving stage conversion.
Executive Summary
AI conversation intelligence transforms coaching from sporadic reviews into a continuous improvement loop. With high-accuracy conversation analysis, automated insight generation, performance correlation, and skill identification, leaders coach the right reps on the right behaviors at the right time.
How Does AI Turn Call Data into Coaching that Wins?
AI maps patterns like talk-to-listen ratio, question depth, objection handling, next-step clarity, and competitor mentions—then links these to outcomes to recommend specific, measurable coaching actions by rep and opportunity type.
Instead of reviewing a small sample of calls, AI scores every conversation and highlights the moments that matter. Managers receive concise insights, recommended exercises, and example snippets to accelerate behavior change.

Frequently Asked Questions
What behaviors does the AI actually detect?
Talk/listen balance, question quality, objection handling, next-step clarity, interrupt frequency, pricing depth, competitor mentions, and risk cues like low engagement.
How are coaching plans created?
The system links behaviors to outcomes and generates role-specific coaching actions—e.g., targeted call reviews, objection drills, and next-step templates—with due dates and tracking.
