Recognized for fostering sales readiness, Machine Analysis builds off Brainshark’s acclaimed sales coaching and practice solution – which makes it easy for organizations to send their reps video-based assignments (e.g., “Please provide a two-minute video of how you’d pitch this new product”) for practice and evaluation. Machine Analysis processes the videos and provides an additional layer of feedback – generating an overall score and rapid, automated insights about reps’ ability to stay on-message, emotions and personality traits exuded, use of filler words and more. The AI-based engine delivers objective input on intangible qualities that influence buyers’ perceptions, while augmenting comments from managers and peers, and identifying reps who may need the most guidance.
Feedback from the Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service judges includes:
- “This is a great product and certainly will help companies improve their sales results.”
- “Best use of AI for coaching of sales reps.”
- “Wow – Machine Analysis is a tool that is certain to have an outstanding impact on sellers and their coaches or leaders. The solution itself is very exciting, and the impact on sales enablement is going to be critical.”
- “As a sales operations and enablement person myself, I predict this solution is really going to take off in the most sophisticated sales teams!”
- “Excellent use of AI for sales effectiveness.”
