# Sales Call Analysis & Coaching Framework
1. Call Scoring Rubric
| Dimension | Weight | 1 (Poor) | 3 (Good) | 5 (Excellent) |
|-----------|--------|----------|----------|----------------|
| Opening & Agenda Setting | 10% | No agenda, jumps into pitch | Sets agenda, confirms time | Sets agenda, ties to prospect's goals, gets buy-in |
| Discovery Depth | 20% | Surface questions only | Asks about pain + impact | Multi-level: pain → impact → quantified cost → urgency |
| Active Listening | 15% | Interrupts, misses cues | Acknowledges, basic follow-up | Mirrors, summarizes, asks "tell me more" |
| Talk/Listen Ratio | 10% | >60% talk | 40-50% talk | 30-40% talk (discovery) |
| Objection Handling | 15% | Defensive, ignores | Acknowledges, provides answer | Acknowledges, isolates, reframes, confirms resolution |
| Value Articulation | 10% | Generic features | Benefits tied to role | ROI quantified to their specific situation |
| Next Steps & Close | 15% | Vague "I'll follow up" | Specific next meeting booked | Mutual action plan with timeline + stakeholders |
| Energy & Rapport | 5% | Monotone, scripted | Professional, friendly | Genuine curiosity, mirrors prospect's energy |
**Scoring:** <24 = Needs Intervention | 24-32 = Developing | 33-40 = Strong
2. Talk-to-Listen Benchmarks
| Call Type | Ideal Rep Talk % | Red Flag |
|-----------|-----------------|----------|
| Discovery | 30-40% | >50% (not enough listening) |
| Demo | 55-65% | >75% (no interaction) |
| Negotiation | 40-50% | >60% (not hearing concerns) |
| QBR | 35-45% | >55% (not letting customer share) |
5. Coaching Session Template (30 min)
| Time | Activity |
|------|----------|
| 0-5 min | Rep shares self-review: "What went well? What would you change?" |
| 5-10 min | Listen to pre-selected 2-3 minute clip together |
| 10-20 min | Discuss: Manager asks questions, rep identifies patterns |
| 20-25 min | Practice: Rep re-does the weak moment with coaching |
| 25-30 min | One specific skill to focus on this week + how to track it |
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Never start a coaching session with what went wrong — always ask the rep to self-assess first, they usually know
- 💡Focus on ONE skill per coaching session — trying to fix everything at once improves nothing
- 💡Compare call recordings from won vs lost deals to extract patterns — the data is more persuasive than opinions
- 💡Track talk-to-listen ratio trends over time, not single calls — one nervous call doesn't define a pattern
- 💡Build a 'greatest hits' playlist of your best reps' calls — new hires learn more from real examples than playbooks
