with Claire Vo
Matt generates private post-call coaching for the sales or customer-success rep, sends it directly in Slack, and stores recurring feedback themes so the employee and manager can see patterns over time.
Before you start

- Employee notice and approved coaching-use policy
- A role-specific call-quality rubric

The workflow
Follow the sequence once, then adapt the prompts, checks, and handoffs to your own setup.
4 steps
Step 02
Prompt the AI to Act as a Coach
Compare the employee’s observable actions with a published role rubric. Ask for timestamped strengths, one high-leverage improvement, a practice for the next call, and uncertainty.
Example prompt
Act as a development coach using only this call and the attached role rubric. Evaluate observable behaviors such as discovery questions, listening, clarification, objection handling, expectation setting, and next-step ownership. Cite timestamps. Return two strengths, one priority improvement, a concrete next-call practice, and confidence. Do not evaluate personality, accent, protected traits, or employment suitability.
Step 03
Send Private Feedback via Slack
Send the note privately to the employee with the source call and a way to flag transcript or attribution errors. Let the employee choose whether to share it with a manager unless policy states otherwise.
Step 04
Log Performance Data for Managers
If the organization tracks trends, store only reviewed rubric categories and dates under approved retention and access rules. Show supporting calls and corrections, and prohibit automated ratings, discipline, or compensation actions.
This historical log makes performance reviews much more objective and data-driven, allowing managers to spot patterns and identify team-wide training needs.
What good looks like
- Feedback references the correct employee and specific call moments.
- The rubric evaluates observable job behavior rather than style, identity, or protected traits.
- The employee can correct transcript or attribution errors.
- AI feedback is not used alone for ratings, discipline, compensation, or employment decisions.

Runbook notes
How to recover when the loop fails and where human judgment helps.
If it goes sideways
- The model attributes the customer’s words or interruptions to the employee
- Validate diarization, cite timestamps, and suppress coaching when speaker identity is uncertain.
- Feedback penalizes accent, personality, disability, communication style, or another protected signal
- Constrain the rubric to observable role behavior and audit patterns across comparable calls.
- Coaching is posted publicly or retained beyond the approved purpose
- Use private delivery, role-based access, a retention period, and a correction or deletion path.
- Generated notes become an unreviewed performance dossier
- Separate development coaching from HR records and require the approved human process for consequential use.
