• Real-Time Guidance understands conversations and tells reps what to say live in their calls.
• Real-Time Coaching helps supervisors support their agents in make-or-break moments with live call coaching alerts, live listen, live transcription, and agent chat.
• Real-Time QA scores 100% of calls so that supervisors can prevent mistakes before they become habits, identify the root cause of low scores, and scale best practices to the whole team.
