Instead of managers reviewing a few calls per week, the AI hub reviews every call against a rubric, summarizes what happened, and gives specific coaching on what the rep can do better.\nChandler and Andrew also talk about what this means for the future of management. The big shift is that AI can take over the repetitive parts of management, like quality control, call reviews, scorecards, and accountability, while human leaders focus on coaching, encouragement, strategy, and recruiting.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/NyHHieTlmHDUHZCr0-GqsmgcxwwW_QdWcFQKUIrpKnI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mZGY1/YWFlNGYzMTA0ZWY1/ZmRlNGY0NDIxMjA0/ZDQyYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
