In a survey of front-line sellers, we found that 53% of sellers received personalized coaching once per quarter or less. 

Many sales managers want to coach more often, but it’s hard to find the time. Listening to call recordings, spotting areas for improvement, and giving clear, helpful feedback can take hours. With everything else going on, regular coaching often falls to the side.

These Salesloft's AI agents are specifically designed to empower sales managers, transforming how they analyze and elevate their team's performance by providing intelligent insights at scale:

  • AI Scorecard for Conversations
  • Objection Handling Insight
  • Seller Coaching
  • Manager Coaching
  • Sales Leader Coaching

Elevate Coaching

With the AI Scorecard for Conversations

Sales managers often spend countless hours reviewing call recordings, trying to identify coaching opportunities. This manual process is time-consuming, subjective, and makes it difficult to provide timely, consistent feedback to every team member. Without a standardized approach, coaching can be inconsistent, leading to uneven performance across the team.

The AI Scorecard for Conversations agent frees managers from the laborious task of manual call review.

It intelligently scores calls based on predefined criteria and provides AI-suggested notes, pinpointing key moments and behaviors for discussion. This not only streamlines the review process but also ensures consistent feedback, ensuring that managers are more objective in their coaching. 

With the AI Scorecard, you’ll be able to quickly identify strengths and weaknesses, delivering precise and actionable feedback that drives immediate improvement in seller conversations and elevates overall team performance.

Address performance gaps

With the Objection Handling Insight

It is often very difficult to identify why certain reps struggle to create opportunities and consistently have lower win rates. Manually uncovering these patterns is time-intensive, often leading to generic coaching that doesn't address the root cause of the issue. This results in lost deals and frustrated sellers.

The Objection Handling Insight agent addresses this challenge by flagging reps with low win rates who encounter higher than average number of objections on their calls. 

This agent analyzes conversation data to identify performance discrepancies, providing managers with clear data indicating where coaching is most needed. 

You'll proactively identify areas where reps need support, enabling you to provide focused, impactful coaching that improves win rates and transforms individual seller performance, ultimately boosting team confidence and success.

Foster individual growth

With Seller Coaching (Coming Soon)

Without automated insights based on all of a seller’s calls, managers don’t have time to create targeted feedback and often resort to generic advice.

The Seller Coaching agent is designed to provide personalized coaching recommendations for each seller by analyzing each seller's interactions and performance metrics. 

It then generates weekly recommendations for improvement, all based on identified winning behaviors and successful strategies from top performers. This empowers managers to scale best practices and personalized development across their entire team.

Drive Team Success

With Manager Coaching (Coming soon)

Consistently identifying overarching team performance trends while also developing individualized coaching strategies to drive success can be a daunting task for sales managers. 

More specifically, aggregating data from individual sellers, understanding collective strengths and weaknesses, and crafting effective one-on-one coaching talking points manually is time-consuming and prone to human bias. This often leads to a reactive coaching approach rather than a proactive, strategic one.

The Manager Coaching agent aggregates performance data across your entire team, identifying key trends and common areas for improvement, and sends out weekly reports. 

This agent goes beyond individual metrics to provide insights into collective strengths and weaknesses, offering managers a comprehensive view of team performance. Critically, this agent also generates specific talking points for one-on-one coaching sessions, ensuring managers are prepared to address relevant performance themes with each team member.

With the Manager Coaching agent, you'll gain a deeper understanding of your team's collective capabilities and challenges, enabling you to implement more effective coaching strategies. It  streamlines your preparation for one-on-one meetings, ensuring every coaching conversation is impactful, consistent, and drives overall team improvement.

Shape strategic direction with Sales Leader Coaching

With Sales Leader Coaching (Coming soon)

Gaining a holistic view of coaching activity impact and identifying strategic training opportunities across the entire sales organization can be challenging without comprehensive data analysis. 

This often leads to an unclear understanding of what truly drives revenue and strategic decisions being made based on gut-feel instead of data. 

The Sales Leader Coaching agent provides a high-level, strategic overview of coaching performance across the entire organization. 

To do this, it offers monthly organizational performance summaries, analyzing the impact of coaching activities on overall revenue generation and team effectiveness. Furthermore, it suggests strategic training recommendations based on these insights, empowering leaders to make data-backed decisions that align with broader business objectives. 

With the Sales Leader Coaching agent, you'll identify successful coaching methodologies, pinpoint areas for strategic investment in training, and ensure that your team’s coaching efforts are directly contributing to the achievement of your revenue goals.
