Have AI listen to every call-center call and surface the ones worth coaching
John Wilson, CEO of Wilson Companies (plumbing, HVAC and related home services), on Owned and Operated episode 128 with Jack Carr
They rolled out Avoca's coaching product: it listens to every call, grades against their script (greeting, empathy, next steps), pulls out coachable moments, and lets managers open the worst-graded calls first. They were also preparing a hybrid human-assisted AI answering option for overflow.

The problem
The call center gets about a thousand calls a day. A few VAs listening manually could only do yes/no checklist grading on a sample, so coaching lagged and book-rate data was unreliable.
What happened
Reviews 100% of calls in near real time instead of a thin sample, and the coaching is already changing booking rates and customer experience (self-reported on a podcast after roughly 45–60 days). Exact book-rate lift not stated.
