Call Coaching
Definition
Call coaching is the practice of using real sales call recordings and analysis to develop individual rep skills through targeted feedback, example-based learning, and performance tracking. Unlike generic sales training, call coaching addresses specific behaviors observed in actual conversations, making feedback concrete, actionable, and directly tied to revenue outcomes.
Why Call-Level Coaching Outperforms Generic Training
Generic sales training teaches principles. Call coaching applies those principles to real situations a specific rep has encountered. When a manager can point to a specific moment in a call and say "here is where the deal shifted — you could have asked this question instead," the learning is immediate and memorable. Conversation intelligence makes this type of coaching scalable by automatically identifying coaching opportunities across all calls, rather than relying on managers to manually review recordings. Agencies that implement systematic call coaching see 20-30% improvements in rep performance within 90 days.
How Callbricks Helps
Callbricks surfaces coaching opportunities automatically by analyzing calls for common coaching moments — missed discovery questions, poorly handled objections, excessive talk time, and missed buying signals. Managers can quickly identify which reps need coaching on which skills, with real call examples ready for review.
