The data-driven coaching framework
1. Collect data. Call recordings, deal activity, CRM updates, win/loss reasons.
2. Identify patterns. AI surfaces moments worth coaching (conversation intelligence).
3. Diagnose gaps. Specific skill or behavior gap per rep.
4. Coach to the gap. Targeted intervention.
5. Measure improvement. Track skill scores or deal metrics over time.
