New agents are given Balto and are able to take calls successfully from day one. They take incoming calls and Balto listens to both sides of the conversation and when things are said it will prompt the agent to move forward in different ways. It also will prompt if agents are speaking too much or if the agent isn't listening and asking the same question it will prompt them.

Wingman would be well suited for any organisation with more than 5+ reps in their sales team. Recording all the demo calls will create a playbook which will help the reps learn from each other and also to ramp up new reps with how to conduct the demo and discovery calls

  • Filtering calls by keywords - saves you time so that you don't have to listen to entire calls.
  • Creating game tapes - so that you can easily onboard new team members.
  • Great support team (love for Sushma).

  • Searching for specific calls (you can scroll through the list, but that takes time)
  • The dashboard isn't as user friendly as it could be, but a seasoned user can navigate it just fine
  • The AI-driven insights aren't always accurate but are still very useful nonetheless

I think Wingman is one of the best software in their segment. Very few companies are cost-effective and offer similar solutions.

Super user friendly tool! There are some features that I think might be improved over time, like navigation assistance or tutorials, and quick tips, like how to ensure calls always get recorded, how to add Wingman to calls last-minute, or how to use their playlist feature Game Tapes, but those are nice to haves, not need to haves.

Gong is expensive but it has a lot better AI/Intelligence feature compared to Wingman. Wingman definitely does the job, is cheap, and also support is pretty amazing and I personally like Shruti a lot in terms of what she is doing in this space. Also, Wingman is in an Indian company.

  • Training of new Sales representatives has gone from 1 month to 2 weeks using Wingman as part of the training tools.
  • The transcripts have also helped us to decrease the number of disputes "Lost" on Stripe, by providing evidence needed to win the case.
