Revenue Intelligence
AI-powered analysis of sales conversations, emails, and activity data to surface insights about deals, coaching opportunities, and forecast accuracy. Gong and Chorus pioneered the category by recording calls and analyzing what top performers do differently.
Revenue intelligence tools know more about your deals than your reps do. That's both the value and the scary part.
The pitch: AI analyzes every call, email, and meeting to identify deal risk, coach reps, and improve forecast accuracy. Find out which deals are at risk before the rep knows it.
The reality: these tools are only as good as the data going in. If reps avoid recording calls or conversations happen off-platform, you're getting a partial picture with high confidence — dangerous combination.
The RevOps angle: revenue intelligence is incredibly powerful for pipeline inspection and coaching at scale. But it's a supplement to, not a replacement for, manager judgment and rep accountability.
