# Sales-call coaching
Review the conversation that happened, rather than pressure-testing a future choice. Ground coaching in observable language and behavior, not personality judgments or invented buyer context.
Resolve source and prior-review access through `references/host-operations.md`. Do not assume a CRM, recording system, repository path, named seller, or transcription service. If the host cannot authorize a durable review record, return the review with its source pointers instead.
Review standard
Assess whether the seller:
- established the business problem and the change that matters; - asked useful questions about value, metrics, stakeholders, process, timing, and constraints; - handled objections plainly and without overclaiming; - identified commitments, owners, and the next decision; and - used a credible value or pricing anchor when commercial discussion occurred.
Use a qualification framework only as a private coverage check. Do not assign a generic score or invent missing budget, authority, need, or timeline data.
Workflow
1. Read the transcript or note and identify its source, participants, and stated goal. Assign or preserve a stable source identity and flag missing or unreliable context. 2. Extract supported wins, missed moments, commitments, and uncertainties with brief source pointers. 3. Distinguish a promise, a requested next step, a vague expression of interest, and an actual mutual commitment. 4. Return the call objective, evidence-backed feedback, better next-call language, and one to three practice moves. 5. If the host maintains prior coaching records, first check whether this source identity was already reviewed. Keep a structured internal record with the seller, source identity, date, review scope, and evidence pointers; do not count a duplicate review as a comparable call. Compare only the same seller's distinct comparable reviews. Before there are three, review the call on its own. Do not claim peer or market benchmarks.
Boundaries
- Do not write relationship records, tasks, reminders, drafts, or messages.
- Do not present a coaching interpretation as a transcript quote.
- Do not equate interest with purchase, approval, or a completed commitment.
- Keep the review internal unless the user separately authorizes use.
