Honored for creating more prepared and adept sales teams, 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 uses AI to process 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 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 2019 American Business Awards judges includes:
- “This solution helps to create a best-in-class sales force.”
- “Excellent sales enablement tool.”
- “The use of AI for sales coaching and improving sales productivity is a very exciting and promising idea.”
- “I have no doubt that this product will take off.”
- “Great training tool.”
