The team has embraced the ease of use and the applicability across all types of sales calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is an opportunity for CT Connect to further scale with our organization via other means (other than desktop and mobile app) to deliver feedback and embrace the coaching approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
An easy to set up and use tool that builds sales coaching into sales managers' routines across an organization. Allows sales/sales operations to set a consistent rubric for coaching and grading, along with reporting and tracking across the organization. CT makes it easy to capture feedback from each coaching session, share it, verify that it's been viewed, and revisit it for ongoing performance improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Initial versions focus on managing structured coaching sessions. Also, light on other capabilities initially like integrations with other productivity tools, but CT has a strong roadmap for rapid enhancements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Feedback is in one location for you and the rep! You can score a sales rep based on every step of the sales process. Both of you can reference what was covered to ensure the rep is improving after every sales presentation. I've also been able to use the reporting for the rep's 90 day and annual reviews! It helps the rep see what areas they are improving and what other areas they can continue to work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much to dislike. The integration between Salesforce is something we are still learning and how it relates to our business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Inspect what you expect - CT Connect is invaluable in helping leaders drive effective coaching engagements. In my opinion, one of the most important elements of sales management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike that sometimes we need to use tools to drive important behaviors. But common sense is not always common practice. CT Connect is a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a fairly new district/region at Pure, this platform has provided a structured approach to coaching my new AE's. The CT Connect modules can be customized to suit your segments selling motion and align to the most critical behaviors that determine an AE's success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If a sales leader does not have the "trust" of their team, the ask could come off as a tool to manage folks out of their roles/business, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Quickly and easily find where we have gaps with existing opportunities, increase in conversion rates for our 1st meetings and certification of new content proficiency from our sales organization. CT Connect saves me time chasing down answers and follow-up remaining tasks to complete a deal. Giving the team insights into where they rank amongst their peers and connecting them to the right resource to improve their performance is huge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'd like to offer a feature request, not a dislike. Reviewing the status of existing opportunities gives me a snapshot now, based on my feedback to my team, it would be great to have follow-up cadence built into the solution. Covering a large team becomes challenging to know who needs continued coaching and what resources we have to help. It would be great to see how we improve our business relationships with our partners that drive our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the assessment categories don't always line up with the actual meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
CT Connect is simple and straightforward. The user interface is extremely easy to navigate. The behaviors to evaluate are clear and featured prominently alongside where the the actual assessment is happening.
This is a great tool for anyone looking to put more of an emphasis on real-time feedback. It puts structure and a common understanding around the behaviors to exhibit in various scenarios. This ensures that you are your reports are on the same page and working toward the same goals and personal and professional growth targets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing, I find CT Connect extremely easy to use; in fact the simplicity means there is no reason NOT to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've leveraged CT Connect for about a year. I was a slow adopter but have been seen the benefits of it first hand. It helps to quickly and effectively provide insight on a reps performance, identify trends, immediately provide feedback, and more. It gives employees specific feedback on how to improve that they can always refer back to and see how they have improved over time. I have seen better results for the folks on my team that have been leveraging it vs those that have not.
The team is super responsive and always looking for feedback on how to improve -- and then actually does it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can sometimes feel like a chore to do but that not because of the tool. It is an extra step but really helps you to provide more pointed coaching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
User-friendly, based on sales behaviors, clear expectations setting with sellers and managers, drive consistency of execution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Limitations in exporting data at the back end, reliance on excel to support the tool vs using CT Connect to play with behaviors and new maps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
CT Connect has been a great tool to assess individual and team performance to accelerate ramp time and provide growth for our sellers. Love the ease of use and ability to give feedback from an app in real-time. We are focused on raising performance across the board and this is the perfect customizable tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is an opportunity with CT Connect to be able to record live calls or demos to give my sellers feedback. I love the ability to listen to calls and give real-time feedback but it's highly effective for sellers to sit down with their coaches and listen to calls and view demos and this is the one piece I would love to see.

CT is an incredibly easy to use, fully customizable and flexible tool to help you drive the coaching of your teams. With the ability to gather your thoughts and focus during each meeting you are involved in, you now have the ability to control what feedback message is delivered to help your teams improve. That's the primary goal here: improvement.
Each assessment allows you to focus specifically on that team member and objectively review and coach them. The ability to have a back and forth conversation mixed with a tie-in to your preferred CRM system allows for alignment to specific cases to understand anything that may have been subjective.

Our original setup was very broad leaving this open to a lot interpretation. Each manager was focused on promoting each team member and gravitated towards middle ground. As a result, we saw a lot of lower performers being elevated and high performers falling into a lower level. This pushed us to a generic feedback cycle rather than a custom feedback cycle to each team member.
This was a challenge that turned into a benefit as we refined and refocused our measuring guidelines to stay tuned to our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
From the very first interaction with the team at CT Connect, I was impressed at how thoughtful the process was for being able to share constructive and consistent feedback to my team of folks. I liked that the solution was flexible with my specific process and product. I didn't have to use a blanketed set of criteria when providing feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing I disliked but a few improvements wouldn't hurt. The solution could use an updated marker if you leave the feedback incomplete and need to revisit. Just a few things like that would make it perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software is nice and works on web or mobile; the UI is very easy to use. But the most important thing is the insight into sales best practices that is behind the product. The prebuilt templates and rubrics, which are based on Commercial Tribe's experience with sales coaching, make up a large part of the value of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are no significant downsides to CT Connect that I have noted. Just finding time to use it enough with your team can sometimes be difficult, but this is not a product problem in any way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like the most is not what I expected to like the most. When entering into our relationship with CT Connect, I was looking for insights into how often and with whom my managers were spending their time and what type of coaching they were providing. While CT Connect does just that and more, it has provide our sales leaders, account executives and sales engineers with a roadmap to success whether it's preparing for a meeting, writing a follow-up email, presenting a proposal or conducting a white space review. CT Connect is fast becoming our "go-to" place for "how to get an A" in the various aspects of the job. And, they receive immediate actionable insights from their leaders at the same time.

I wish the iphone app would remember who I am either by password or facial recognition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The rubric is customized to meet our businesses needs from forecast calls to early milestone deals. The documented feedback allows for better coaching sessions and allows for more transparent communication with my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Documenting feedback is a cultural shift in my organization. I'm more aware of the words I use and when I send the feedback on CT. It's not a "dislike" but a change in how we are coaching as an organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
