The Value Of Aviso AI’s Conversational Intelligence In Driving Revenue And Cost Benefits

Conversational Intelligence (CI) platforms leverage cutting-edge machine learning, NLP, automated sentiment recognition and activity transcripting technologies to provide a highly articulate and real-time understanding of the impact of the conversations. This can be used by driving parties to lead the meetings where they intend them to go. CI processes client conversation transcripts and gives an added edge of sentiment analysis and emotional tracking, which takes selling experience for sales teams to a whole new level. 

With Aviso’s conversational intelligence (also called Aviso Sense) at the heart of driving sales teams' activities, the sales reps can get guided analysis of their client buying sentiments in real-time. This enhances the reps’ chances of correctly demonstrating their sales pitch and the chances of their buyers positively receiving the proposal and getting their business concerns addressed in the correct manner.

Aviso CI Improves Sales Effectiveness And Productivity

Some of the key areas through which Aviso’s CI can help revenue leaders in improving their team's efficiency and performance are:

Sales Effectiveness (Improving revenue)

• Improves lead conversion rate by enhancing the propensity to recognize buyer sentiments through sentiment analysis and smart transcripts functionality. This enhances the overall deal growth through cross-selling and upselling supplementary solutions.
• Increases efficiency of sales rep activities through advanced NLP models that generate insights on every call and through easy to consume reports. Other features like smart visual summaries and call prep guides enable sales reps to focus more on their clients and targeted conversations rather than taking notes and secondary meeting activities.
• Reduces deal cycles through helping reps to identify the right buyer intent through understanding verbal and non-verbal cues and acting with empathy to close deals faster.

Sales Productivity (Reducing costs)

• Increases overall sales staff’s productivity through automating CRM admin processes and updates in real-time from insights and nudges based on conversational transcripts generated.    
• Reduces new sales hire ramp-up time through efficient coaching and recommendation triggers for analyzing conversations in a deal cycle and creating a configurational guidance mechanism so that new hires can easily comprehend the selling processes for their deals.
