Ask these questions on every demo.
The demo scripts all sound alike. These questions separate the tools in twenty minutes.
- 1
Coach a rep live in the home.
Run a recorded kitchen appointment with a price objection and ask what the rep sees during the visit, and what the manager sees. Then ask how long the recording takes to score.
- 2
Score a contact center call.
Ask whether the tool scores your agents' phone calls and coaches them live, or only records them. Ask to see one scored call with the scorecard.
- 3
Show the follow-up after an unsold estimate.
The rep leaves a bath estimate without a sale. Ask what the follow-up knows: the CRM fields, or the objection and the last price the homeowner heard.
- 4
Put the pricing in writing.
Per-user rate, user minimum, contract term, and the renewal uplift, quoted on your real rep count and appointment volume.
FAQs
Teams evaluate alternatives when they need a different coaching workflow, contract structure, or coverage beyond the field appointment. Compare live rep guidance, contact center QA, lead booking, and estimate follow-up against your actual sales process. Rilla offers recording, manager-led live coaching, and conversation intelligence; ask each vendor to demonstrate the workflows you need.

Yes. Rilla Intelligence analyzes recorded conversations to answer questions about close rates, objections, and sales processes. Craft Intelligence connects insights across the booking call, in-home appointment, and follow-up. Ask each vendor which data sources and outcomes its answers include.
