Introducing @quotainai , your AI coaching teammate in Slack. Sales coaching shouldn’t live in a separate dashboard. Now, managers can ask Quotain directly in Slack to understand where reps are struggling, assign personalized drills, and keep the team improving between calls. 🧵 https://t.co/ZVkDqVh9Tt
