Help me build the Real-Time Sales Coach

I'm building the tool I wish existed. And it turns out, the market is desperate for it.

The Problem: Sales Teams Are Broken

57% of sales reps miss quota. Not occasionally. Every quarter.

That number was 74% hitting quota in 2012. It's gotten worse every year for a decade.

Each failed rep costs $300,000 all-in (salary, training, lost deals). And you replace 1 in 3 every year because 35% quit.

Here's the kicker: it takes 6 months before a new rep can even sell effectively. Six months of salary before you see a dollar back. That's $1.2M in lost revenue per new hire while they ramp.

The math is brutal. And it's getting worse.

The Wrong Solution: Everyone's Watching Film After the Game Ended

The sales tech market figured this out. $5 billion annually (heading to $13B by 2030) flowing into conversation intelligence platforms.

Gong. Chorus. They've built great businesses. They've proven companies will pay for tools to fix sales performance.

But here's what they all have in common: they analyze after the call ends.

Post-call analytics. Coaching from last week's recordings. AI summaries of what you should have said.

They're building for managers to watch film. Not for reps to win the game happening right now.

And honestly? The AI notetaker explosion validates this even more. Otter, Fireflies, Fathom—they're all converging on real-time transcription and starting to hint at "proactive suggestions."

The market knows where this is going.

But they're all doing general-purpose. Nobody's gone all-in on real-time sales coaching as the single obsessive focus.

The Obvious Answer: Coach During the Call

What if your rep had the top performer's response in their ear, in real-time, during the objection?

Not after. Not next week. Right now. When it matters.

That's Calleoke.

• Sub-1-second latency - Fast enough to keep the conversation natural
• 100% speaker identification - Knows who's talking, what they said, what to say next
• Verbatim scripts - Not "try addressing concerns about price." Actual language that works.

Every rep becomes your top performer. Instantly. Because they have the top performer coaching them live.

Why Now: The Tech Finally Exists

Real-time conversation AI with sub-second response times? Didn't exist 18 months ago.

We're at the inflection point where the tech can finally deliver what the market has always needed.

Gong and Chorus spent a decade teaching the market that conversation intelligence matters. The AI notetaker wars proved real-time transcription works.

Nobody combined them into the obvious endgame: real-time sales coaching.

Where I Am: Solo Founder, Vibe-Coding, Getting It Done

I'm a commercial founder. I sell for a living. I felt this problem every day.

So instead of talking about it, I learned to code and built it. Nights and weekends. Working prototype exists—check the Dev Log if you want proof.

Could I have hired engineers? Sure. But I wanted to understand this thing deeply. I wanted to build something beautiful, not just functional. And frankly, bootstrapping from nothing means you do what you have to do.

I'm raising now because the prototype works and the market timing is perfect. I want to go full-time, hire a small team, and bring this to actual sales teams.

What I'm Looking For: Partners, Not Just Capital

I'm not looking for investors who need this to 10x in 18 months.

I'm looking for people who:

• Love supporting wildcards and want to be part of the journey
• Want to build beautiful things that actually help people
• Won't worry about the money because they believe in the mission
• Enjoy the ride and can help shape the go-to-market when we're ready

If you're the type who invests in people with obsessive vision and the grit to build it themselves, let's talk.
