How Scott Hull Coaches His Team Without Listening to Hundreds of Calls

Customer Spotlight
Name Scott Hull
Role Team Leader & Owner
Location Austin, TX
Team Context Lead of the Hull Group. Faced the challenge of scaling a team generating tens of thousands of dials without losing quality control.

Visibility at the Top of the Funnel

The Scale Problem

As with many team leaders, scaling the Hull Group brought Scott to the proverbial wall. Agents were generating tens of thousands of dials. Somewhere in the middle of that chaos, the quality was supposed to show up. But how would you know?

Manual auditing does not scale. It is pure math. You cannot possibly audit hundreds of calls while running a business. Scott was effectively operating in the dark regarding what was happening during those initial conversations—the ones that count the most.

"Looking into this report just from the last 30 days you can gain a lot of insight of where your agents are without having to listen to hundreds of calls to see what's going on."

He wanted visibility, but not to drown in recordings. Randomly sampling calls seemed like trying to understand a book by reading three random pages. You may get lucky; you may not.

AI Call Reporting

Luck is a poor management strategy. MaverickRE's AI Call Reporting provided Scott something more predictable. Rather than relying on guesses or the random-sample-and-hope-for-the-best approach, Scott now has real-time data providing visibility into what is happening on a macro level.

What the platform does is fairly basic yet powerful: it provides visibility into the gap between activity and results. Scott can finally see which agents need volume coaching (simply ask more) and which need skill coaching (ask better).

"The AI call reporting is by far the number one report for getting insight into what agents are doing at the very top of funnel."

Diagnosing the "Delta"

When you can visualize the pattern across your entire team, the coaching conversations essentially write themselves. Scott walked through two examples that came directly from the data:

1. The Volume Opportunity

Chelsea had good activity numbers. She made calls, and she engaged in conversations. However, the data indicated that she was only asking for the appointment roughly half the time. If you are already on the phone and have established some rapport, not asking is simply leaving conversions on the table. The solution was clear-cut: "If we can just ask more, we're gonna get more yeses."

2. The Skill Gap

Wendy and Susan represented another group of agents who were asking approximately 57-60% of the time, but were only able to convert at a rate of 15-16%. That indicates a skill issue rather than a volume issue.

"We can see that Wendy could use some coaching on probably building Rapport... asking for an appointment on 60% of her calls but only 16% of the time people are saying yes."

If you think about it, that saves everyone time. Wendy does not need to hear "make more calls." She needs help with the conversation itself. Scott can now point to specific moments in Wendy's calls where things start to fall apart, rather than offering general advice about "building rapport better."

Coaching for the "New Market"

This targeted coaching became even more important when the buyer agreement requirements changed the market. Everything changed overnight. Now you cannot simply ask for appointments. You must first demonstrate value, which means the conversation leading up to the ask matters more than ever.

You know where to coach instead of guessing.

The Hull Group was able to adjust to the new market rapidly due in part to already having the ability to identify and correct conversation issues. The data now holds everyone accountable for conversion standards that actually matter, not simply activity metrics.

"This is the number one thing that we use... figuring out are we asking for the appointment and if so do we need coaching around the call before and after."

The Data Difference

By shifting from manual auditing to AI-driven insights, Scott transformed the efficiency of his leadership.

Area Impact
Auditing Efficiency Replaced "listening to hundreds of calls" (random sampling) with instant visualization of patterns.
Coaching Precision Distinguishes between "Volume Issues" (need to ask more) and "Skill Issues" (need to ask better).
Market Agility Allowed rapid adjustment to new buyer agreement requirements by identifying where value propositions were failing.
Accountability Shifts focus from vanity metrics (dials) to conversion standards (ask rate vs. yes rate).

Scott's Favorite Features

AI Call Reporting Provides high-level insight into overall top-of-funnel activity, revealing patterns across hundreds of calls within minutes rather than days.
The "Ask" vs. "Yes" Metric Scott's #1 feature. Immediately identifies if the issue is confidence (not asking enough) or competence (asking but doing it poorly).
Targeted Call Drilling Allows you to find specific calls where the conversation failed without listening to 50 good ones first.
