Introduction
Vtiger CRM has a Coaching module that is designed to assess and analyze the performance of support agents using voice calls, email, and chat metrics. This module helps managers evaluate agent interactions and improve voice-based customer support.
It helps provide feedback, and identify areas for improvement within the context of voice, email, and chat-based customer support.
Supervisors can review call metrics, including duration, resolution, satisfaction ratings, and other performance indicators in the Coaching module. By leveraging this module, organizations can enhance agent productivity, customer service quality, and overall team performance for customer support teams.
The Coaching module provides two dashboards called Players and Coaches.
Players
The Players dashboard is for sales and customer support representatives. It shows their interaction summary, reviews, and ratings. It also shows coaching materials suggested by managers after the review.
It helps them identify the improvements they must make in emails, chats, and phone calls. An agent can also request a manager to review emails and calls from their dashboard.
Players dashboard is divided into Summary and Concepts. The Summary consists of Phone Calls and Emails.
It does the following using the analyzed data:
- Phone calls: It generates the data below from voice recordings and transcripts.

- Mood - Is your sales rep speaking passionately or reading from a script? Calculus helps you detect the mood of your sales reps from their tone.
