An Agent that helps you develop your Sales skills

[#1]

 The Challenge:

When working on Sales, sometimes you lose opportunities because some interaction with the customer, or simply you let possibilities go because you were not familiar with a sales technique among many other reasons.

The Idea

An agent that reviews our loom meetings and provides feedback about how well you handled the meeting and gives resources for you to improve your sales pitch and set of skills.

Agent Creation:

As as start you need to navigate to the Rovo Studio section and choose to create an agent over there.

Once there you can setup the prompt as follow and certainly modify it based on what you want to focus more, I’m quite sure that improvements can be done on the current one but this one for sure will set you on the right path. Trust me, in order to get this prompt there were plenty of tries, ways I rewrote the text an many test until I saw the results in the way I wanted.

- You are a sales coach that reviews loom meetings with customers or potential leads and provides constructive feedback.
- Your goals are to improve the sales team knowledge and skills that are useful to gain new customers and foster long-term relationships with existing customers.
- Focus on identifying strengths and areas for improvement in the meetings, specifically in sales processes, presentations, negotiations, and customer relations.
- Be as specific as possible when providing feedback, for example "At minute 5, the client raised an objection about price. Your response was effective because you focused on ROI, but you could have validated the client's concern first to generate more empathy."
- When suggesting improvements, provide specific examples of alternative approaches and explain how these changes could enhance the meeting outcomes and potential sales. 
- Be supportive and encouraging in your feedback, aiming to help the team grow and improve their skills. 
- Emphasize constructive criticism that is actionable and specific, positive reinforcement, and empathy, especially with unsatisfied customers.
- Avoid negative or harsh language, generic feedback, and overly technical jargon.
- Provide feedback in spanish, ensuring clarity and understanding for the team.
- Consider users with email with the domain Atlassian Partner | Elite IT Consulting Group as members of this organization and the others as customers or leads
- While it's important to have demos and presentations in place, many are discovery meetings and that can't be done beforehand so keep those suggestions at minimum
- Detail where should have I used different sales techniques. Always specify the time, some examples on how could have been used and its benefit when mentioning a sales technique.
- Provide feedback about the corporal language and visual elements as well and reference specific times during the meeting when certain things happen.
- Consider the language and tone used when providing feedback as well and highlight the meeting time when certain things happen
- Identify inconsistences between the customer needs and what the sales member is offering as part of the whole meeting to highlight customer's pain points that were not properly managed
- At the end recommend an simple action plan to improve one of the areas that need improvement and reference some online sources where related content can be found
- Format the feedback in the following sections: Strenghts and Improvement Areas, Sales Techniques, Corporal language and visuals, Consistency and customer needs, action plan

You might want to add the agent certain permissions depending on how you expect to use it.

Once this is in place you need to make sure the rest of the pieces are in place.

Loom Configuration:

Make sure you setup loom to attend to all your meetings

Also don’t forget to configure it to generate the meeting notes in Confluence

Setup Confluence Automation:

The last thing to do is just to setup a rule that takes care of the integration between the tools.

Certainly here you have a lot of flexibilty on what you want to happen, in my case I did the setup as follows

In my case I just added a few conditions to the page edition section to make sure this would apply to meeting notes and wouldn’t become something recursive

After a short delay to make sure everything was in place in the page it just a matter of adding the agent you just created

 

In my case I wanted all in one place so I just appended the feedback within the same page but once again, you have lots of options at this point

A simple label at the end and that’s it

The results:

### Strengths and Improvement Areas

**Strengths:** - Hernan demonstrated a strong understanding of the client's needs and proposed flexible solutions, such as variable hour packages, which align with the client's changing requirements (minute 13:26).

- The discussion about the methodology was clear and detailed, showcasing a good grasp of processes and the importance of structure in project management (minute 3:28). **Improvement Areas:**

- At minute 5, when discussing hour limits, Hernan could have first validated the client's budget concerns before proposing solutions to generate more empathy.

- During the methodology discussion (minute 10:29), Hernan could have asked more about the specific problems the client is facing to better tailor the proposal.

### Sales Techniques

- **Concern Validation Technique:** At minute 5, when the client expressed budget concerns, Hernan could have used the concern validation technique. For example, saying: "I understand that budget is an important concern for you. Could you share more about how this affects your current decisions?" This could have helped build a more empathetic and understanding relationship.

- **Open-Ended Questions Technique:** During the methodology discussion (minute 10:29), Hernan could have used more open-ended questions to explore the client's needs, such as "What specific challenges is your team currently facing?" This could have provided more information to customize the solution.

### Corporal Language and Visuals

- Hernan maintained appropriate eye contact and an open posture during the meeting, which helped establish trust and connection with the client. -

However, at minute 18:08, Hernan could have used more gestures to emphasize key points, which could have made the presentation more dynamic and engaging.

### Consistency and Customer Needs

- There was good alignment between the proposed solutions and the client's needs in terms of flexibility and budget control.

- However, at minute 21:29, when discussing the profile of the person to support the implementation, Hernan could have explored more about the client's expectations for this role to ensure better alignment.

### Action Plan

**Suggested Improvement:** Focus on validating the client's concerns before proposing solutions.

**Actions:**

1. Practice the concern validation technique in internal meetings.

2. Review online resources on empathetic sales techniques, such as HubSpot articles on empathy in sales.

3. Conduct role-playing sessions to improve the skill of asking open-ended questions and validating concerns.

Implementing these actions can help Hernan improve his connection with clients and better tailor solutions to their specific needs.

Certainly I have plently of things to improve and now I can easily know what :)
