Ambition, the leading sales coaching platform, today announced AI Insights built specifically for frontline sales managers. Using rep-based 90-day historical performance data and trends, AI Insights signal when an employee is above or below their normal daily boundaries. These real-time tips give managers prescriptive action to take whether it’s letting the rep fix the issue on their own, enrolling them in a skills training, or remediating.
“AI takes the time-intensive thought process out for a sales leader who is balancing multiple roles,” Benjamin Hershorin, senior sales enablement manager at Paycor, an Ambition customer since 2021, said. “Ambition AI Insights will give managers a framework and a path forward that leads to the next right step: Either a revenue training or a revenue-growth activity.”

According to Seth Marrs, principal analyst at Forrester, managers should set thresholds regarding when to intervene based on seller improvement progress. His recommended best practice is to implement “visibility to unlock each unique seller’s potential” and Ambition’s AI Insights solve for that.
In a 2024 voice-of-the-customer survey conducted by Ambition, sellers were asked if they experienced an increase in sales coaching because of Ambition? 89% of respondents said yes.
“One of the reasons Zoom chose Ambition is because our mantra as an organization is to be accountable, be collaborative, and be confident,” Carol Ferrara Zarb, Head of GTM Sales Enablement at Zoom, said. “Ambition fits into that strategy and helps us level-up our organization by providing us with a consistent coaching framework to ensure teams are performing and engaging everyday.”

In the last year, Ambition was included in Forrester’s “The Sales Readiness Solutions Landscape” and named Top 50 Sales Products by G2, a Sales Coaching Gold Medalist by SoftwareReviews, and one of the fastest-growing companies in America by Inc. 5000.
“I’m really excited about our AI momentum,” Travis Truett, CEO and Co-founder at Ambition, said. “Through automation and insights we’re now seeing the average manager within our platform overseeing and proactively coaching 14 direct reports. Ambition sales managers can help 2x the number of reps achieve outcomes that impact the business. Serving the frontline manager, saving companies money by unlocking increased spans-of-control, and improving sales performance remain our North Star priorities.”
