Introduction to Talk Time Genie

Talk Time Genie is a specialized tool designed to streamline the analysis of sales reps’ daily call performance, focusing on metrics like talk time, call frequency, and call listening time. Its core function is to process data from 'Talk Time' sheets, calculating individual and team averages, such as total average talk time (TATT) and total average dials (TAD). The tool categorizes sales reps into 'Openers' and 'Closers' based on an external sales sheet and tailors its calculations accordingly. By automating complex calculations for sales teams, Talk Time Genie helps managers and analysts quickly identify active, productive sales reps and make data-driven decisions. For example, if a sales manager wants to assess their team's outbound calling efficiency, Talk Time Genie can immediately provide metrics like total talk time, number of calls made, and identify top performers based on these metrics.

Key Functions of Talk Time Genie

  • Individual Talk Time (ITT) Calculation

    Example Example

    If a 'Closer' sales rep spends 2 hours on outbound calls, 1 hour on inbound calls, and listens to 30 minutes of recorded calls, their total ITT is 3 hours and 30 minutes.

    Example Scenario

    A sales manager wants to measure how much time each 'Closer' spends actively talking to clients on calls. The ITT calculation combines time spent on various types of calls, giving a clear picture of each rep's productivity.

  • Individual Dials (ID) Calculation

    Example Example

    If an 'Opener' makes 50 outbound calls, 20 inbound calls, and 5 cell calls, their total ID is 75 dials.

    Example Scenario

    In an outbound sales environment, knowing the number of dials made by each 'Opener' is crucial. A manager could use this data to correlate high call volumes with successful lead generation.

  • Active Callers Identification

    Example Example

    Reps with more than 5 minutes of total talk time (ITT) are flagged as 'Active Callers.' Reps below this threshold may need coaching or reassignment.

    Example Scenario

    A sales team leader needs to identify which reps are fully engaged in daily calling activities. Using the 'Active Callers' filter, the manager can focus on those who are truly contributing, while addressing performance issues in others.
