Unveiling Sales AI Whisperer: Revolutionizing Sales Dynamics with Real-time Insights

Sales AI whisperer is a tool designed for salespeople. This is a dashboard that generates real-time insights based on a sales meeting. This tool listens in real-time to the meeting and generates insights on how the meeting is going, advice to help close the deal, and a suggestion of products to propose. The idea is to help improve the sales closing rate as well as to promote cross-selling opportunities. A salesperson can suggest a product that wasn’t necessarily in his original scope and redirect the lead to the relevant person or business line.

For this tool, we consider the context of a sales representative in the Spanish group Planeta. We have taken a few of their programs and have included them in our tool.

More on how the tool works is below.

How to run it:

Start by running

pip install -r requirements.txt

In the file config.py, in the first line, paste your OpenAI API key. Follow the documentation here to get your key https://platform.openai.com/docs/quickstart/account-setup

Open three different terminals. The reason for the three terminals is to dissociate all the components to have control over their parameters.

Terminal 1:

This terminal will run the script to record your microphone and it might ask you for authorization to access the microphone. The recording is transcribed and saved every 10 seconds in the folder recordings/. The transcribed text is in transcriptions/transcript.txt. This path can be changed in config.py

To run the recording, run this command:

python script_run_record

You should see written in the terminal “Recording” if everything worked so far

Terminal 2:

This terminal will read the transcript every 10 seconds and use GPT4 (config.py to change, only OpenAI models are available) to generate insights on the current conversation and find relevant programs to propose to the lead.

To run the insights generator, run this command:

python script_generate_status_live.py

You should see after 10 seconds the GPT output displayed in the terminal

Terminal 3:

This terminal will simply launch the Gradio dashboard. To use display and update insights on the current recorded discussion press the “Run Whisperer (REAL TIME)” button. This will update the interface with up to date insights.

To launch the app, simply run

python app.py

The terminal should show you a localhost IP address, looking probably something like http://127.0.0.1:7860

Then open a new tab in your browser and access this address. You now have the Sales AI whisperer set up and ready to help you during your meetings. Future updates and improvements include making this whole process more simple and ideally completely handled in the backend of a fully deployed web app.

How does it work?

This section will break down how the whole tool works and what can be changed in terms of parameters.

Record and transcription

This part is pretty straightforward as it consists of two sub-parts. The first one handles the recording using the package sounddevice and the second one will handle the transcription using OpenAI Whisper speech-to-text model.

In record.py you can change the duration in line 7. This duration corresponds to the length of each recording. By default, the recordings will be saved and transcribed every 10 seconds. Make sure to keep it high enough to avoid having cutoffs in the transcription due to short chunks.

LLM-based insights

In this part, we take all the transcribed meetings and use an LLM to generate different elements that will help us build the dashboard. This query is done every 20 seconds to make sure it generates insights based on the last transcriptions and doesn’t create a delay when the user asks for an update. The update from the interface does not run the LLM query but rather reads the last LLM query output.

We generate the following elements:

• A number representing simply the probability of closing the candidate based on the global feeling of how the meeting is going. This will help build the gauge chart.
• A formatted Markdown string containing all the following elements but displayed properly and concisely for a sale to read during a meeting in real-time:
  - ‘adjective’: # One or two words to describe the feeling of the candidate and the overall feeling of the meeting
  - ‘candidate_summary’: # A summary of who the candidate is and what he is looking for. It should only contain efficient keywords, no sentences
  - ‘status_prospect’: #The full markdown string describing as bullet points compactly and concisely what is the status of the potential client and how close he is to being closed. All information should be relevant for the salesperson and help guide him without overwhelming him as we will read this during the sales meeting
  - ‘arguments’: #The full markdown string describing as bullet points compactly and concisely what arguments the salesperson should give to close the deal. It also contains actionable insights to drive the conversation.

We add instructions in the prompt regarding the cognitive workload of the sales during the meeting. The idea is to keep it balanced to not overcharge the sales rep with too much information and to keep him focused on the conversation. The goal is to keep the dashboard as a kind of head-up display (HUD) that will assist him during the call.

We use GPT-4 by default for this.

Again, in config.py some parameters can be adapted to your use-case. The first one is the OpenAI model used. You can replace the LLM_MODEL variable with another GPT model from the OpenAI API (check out the official documentation for an exhaustive list but it needs to be a chat model)

Another parameter that can be changed is the PROMPT_INSTRUCTIONS variable. It corresponds to the prompt itself and can be tuned and adapted to what you need to generate. Please keep in mind that changes will need to trigger changes in the Gradio App to make sure that the data is correctly parsed.

The last parameter that can be changed is the frequency of the LLM update. This can be changed in line 54 of script_generate_status_live.py : schedule.every(20).seconds.do(execute_generate_gpt)

You can change 20 to the frequency you like. A longer duration will have an effect that insights displayed in real-time might be a bit old. A shorter duration can lead to very up-to-date insights but can have delays displayed in the dashboard as the LLM query will almost be real-time. Also, a quick frequency can increase API costs very highly.

Gradio App

The gradio app is composed of different components. We bind the update button to the get_insights() function to read the last LLM output and parse it into different components and actions.

It will generate a gauge chart with the probability of closing the deal and general insights as described above. It will also perform a semantic search on the database of available programs to suggest the most suited program to the lead. There is also the possibility to perform this semantic search manually. The source of programs comes from the group Planeta and is only a small sample.

This tool has been made as an exploratory project to try out what could be done using the power of LLMs. If you have any questions or remarks, please feel free to get in touch at adamrida.ra@gmail.com or visit my website: adrida.github.io
