How to Implement a Data-Driven Coaching Cycle

Traditional sales coaching often relies on intuition and isolated recollections, which makes objectivity and scalability of best practices within a team difficult.

This guide describes how to use Salescaling to implement a continuous improvement cycle, transforming coaching from a subjective process into a discipline based on measurable data and real evidence.

Step-by-Step Guide: The Continuous Improvement Cycle

Step 1: Diagnose (Macro Analysis) The first step is to identify priority areas for improvement. Instead of reviewing recordings randomly, you should use the Global Analytics Dashboard to look for patterns and trends.

• Filter by Activity Type: A particularly low Average AI Score in a specific category, such as "Product Demos", can point to an area of focus.

• Analyze Keywords: The recurring appearance of a competitor's name in Most Used Keywords may indicate the need to strengthen the sales pitch.

Step 2: Analyze (Micro Analysis) Once an area for improvement has been identified, the Recordings Explorer should be used to find specific examples.

• You access the Detail View of meetings with a low score.

• You review the breakdown of the AI Score, which indicates exactly which methodology criteria were not met.

• The Interactive Transcript is used to locate and listen to the exact moments that caused the low score.

Step 3: Train (Create Reusable Material) The findings from the analysis should be converted into standardized training material.

• From the Detail View, Clips of the key moments are created, saving both good and bad examples for later comparison.

• In the Clip Library, those clips are grouped into a thematic Playlist (e.g., "Training: Handling Price Objections").

Step 4: Coach (Evidence-Based Action) With the material prepared, coaching sessions become more effective.

• In 1-on-1 sessions, the Playlist is played back to review real moments instead of discussing hypothetical situations.

• Specific and actionable comments are left in the Feedback tab of a recording for documented follow-up.

Step 5: Measure Impact (Close the Loop) The cycle is closed by returning to the data to assess the effectiveness of the training.

• After a determined period of time, you should return to the Global Analytics Dashboard.

• You review whether the Average AI Score for the type of meeting worked on has improved. If so, a new friction point can be identified and the process repeated.
