How to build a better sales call strategy with Kaia

Posted November 1, 2021

What’s the most important thing you coach your reps on? Most sales managers have the same answer: Products and solutions.

Unfortunately, this training typically usually only happens when a rep onboards. By the time they take their first prospect call, new reps can only remember so many details about your products or solutions. Similarly, experienced reps might know the product inside and out but struggle to remember changes to the product positioning or messaging. 

It's normal to see reps become accustomed to the old way of pitching the product or solution, and they generally find it difficult to adapt. As new products and solutions launches, your reps are also expected to remember those key features, integration capabilities, and competitive differentiators too.

The result is information overload. We see that as reps struggle to field prospect questions on calls. In turn, buyers lose confidence — and purchasing interest. Your team needs a sales call strategy that empowers them to speak about your products and solutions with confidence, especially when you aren’t there.

Instill confidence in your reps with Kaia

Sales managers have seen productivity increases of up to 30% after adopting Kaia, a virtual assistant that guides reps to success using real-time intelligence.

When your reps launch the meeting, they see a companion experience that doesn’t show up for the buyer. During the call, your reps receive real-time support with administrative tasks (such as live transcriptions) and answers to prospect questions about products and solutions (through content cards). And afterward, they can deliver on all promises they made, thanks to automatically tracked action items and post-call meeting summaries for fast follow-up.

As a manager, Kaia gives you the ability to make reps better faster. Enabling real-time guidance, automating manual tasks, and providing critical insights brings sales coaching to life in a whole new way. 

Key features that aid in effective product positioning

There are two key features of Kaia that put accurate, winning product messaging in front of every rep: 

  • Live transcriptions — Automatically transcribe the entire call in real time and understand the context of what’s being said
  • Content cards — Surface the information reps need, exactly when they need it. This helps reps effectively position products and solutions, as well as answer competitive, integration, and capability questions

Let’s say a prospect asks, “Does Kaia sync back to the CRM?” Kaia picks up the keywords in the question and surfaces the right content card with the answer.

This enables your reps to answer questions accurately in the moment. It also helps increase buyer confidence because the rep was able to effectively answer the question in real time, not after the fact.

Identify best practices, then scale them

Sales managers often tell us, “I wish I could clone my best rep!” Kaia allows you to identify compelling moments in deals, in order to scale successes.

For example, you might review the transcription from one of your top-performing reps’ calls. At minute 5:03, you could find the perfect response to a common buyer objection. You could then take the rep’s response and use it to create a new content card your entire team can use when that same objection comes up in their calls.
