Sales success hinges on continuous improvement, but traditional coaching models often fail to deliver timely, actionable feedback that reps can apply immediately.

Enter automated feedback powered by AI.

By analyzing real-time meeting data and delivering instant coaching insights, automated feedback solutions like Spiky help reps improve call by call, not quarter by quarter.

The problem with traditional sales coaching

  • Delayed feedback: Feedback often comes days or weeks after meetings, when it's too late to course-correct.
  • Manager bottlenecks: One manager can’t coach dozens of reps effectively.
  • Subjectivity: Inconsistent evaluations create confusion and frustration among reps.

What is automated feedback?

Automated feedback systems use AI to:

  • Analyze sales conversations in real time
  • Evaluate talk-to-listen ratios, engagement signals, objection handling, and more
  • Deliver personalized performance feedback immediately after calls

It transforms every meeting into a coaching opportunity.
