Introducing Menemsha Group’s Conversation Intelligence Coaching Solution

Staffing industry sales teams have a messaging problem.  They’re not engaging buyers. 

Research from Gartner Group shows 84% of buyers say sales reps don’t effectively convey value when meeting virtually. The research goes on to show that salespeople fail toMenemsha Group Conversation Intelligence Sales Coaching Solution personalize their message, talk too much, and deliver their pitch too early and too often.

With virtual selling here to stay, addressing these skill and knowledge gaps is vital. If you don’t, your sales reps won’t hit their sales quota, revenue will be lost, sales team performance will suffer, and your company will struggle—and perhaps even fail.

And it’s no longer acceptable for sales managers to sit back and just tell their reps “you need to increase your sales activity.” That is not a solution.

Sales managers who fail to identify and address the root cause issues hindering sales performance limit their sales teams potential.  Without visibility into what your salespeople say and do in front of the customer and a coaching framework to improve their skills, your only hope for improving sales productivity (not performance) is by telling your sales reps to do more activity.  And that is how you push salespeople out the door.

But IT staffing sales managers are crazy busy! Heck, they’re just one person and they have their own book of business to manage and deals to close, plus managing several sales reps, all of whom need personalized coaching. 

The question is, how can IT staffing sales managers quickly and easily:

  1. See and hear what their sales reps are doing and saying on their sales calls?
  2. See and hear why customers are failing to engage with their reps?
  3. Get insight into where reps are falling short and why it happens?
  4. Coach and develop reps who are located in different, virtual locations?
The Answer is Conversation Intelligence (Call AI)
Menemsha Group’s Call AI is the only conversation intelligence solution where you can identify and fix real-world sales behaviors that are preventing your salespeople from winning. Call AI collects data across each aspect of a sales call (introduction, discovery, intelligent positioning, etc.) and your entire sales cycle – all in one place, giving sales leaders the unique ability to identify the specific sales skills, sales knowledge and sales messaging gaps and create personalized coaching plans. 

Conversation Intelligence (Call AI) is a Sales Managers Wingman
According to research from McKinsey, over 85% of B2B sales interactions happen on the phone or within web conferencing platforms, making it impossible for sales managers to shadow every sales call. While sales managers may be able to save some deals, they won’t be able to save all of them.  And they certainly can’t identify, diagnose and address the root cause issues that put the opportunity at risk in the first place.

Call AI joins each call as a silent attendee, recording, transcribing and mining customer conversations for critical insights that drive improvements.
