Why weekly works

15 minutes a week changes behavior. 2 days a year does not.

A seminar is forgotten by the next month-end. Short, repeated coaching on the same skills turns a word track into a habit your people use on live calls.

1-on-1 coaching every week

Each person gets their own trainer on the phone, not a group webinar.

Real call reviews with your managers

We listen to how your team actually sounds and coach to that.

A process, not a script

Spaced repetition brings each skill back week after week until it sticks.

One year of training

Each bar is one week

What the data says

Shown phone-ups buy 40–42% of the time.

A Foureyes study of roughly 700 dealerships found that 40–42% of shown appointments originating from phone-ups resulted in a sale. That’s why capturing the customer’s information, securing an appointment, and getting them to show deserve management’s attention.

How a week works

A short call that fits between customers.

1

Tap “Register”

When your rep has a free moment, they tap Register in our app to join the training queue. A trainer usually calls back in under 15 minutes.

2

Role-play a real call

The trainer plays the customer: price shoppers, long-distance buyers, service no-shows.

3

Get coached on the spot

Feedback during and after the call on what moves the conversation to an appointment.

4

Step up next week

That’s their training for the week. Each week gets harder, from call control and appointment setting to objection handling and rebuttals.
