Knowledge without delivery
Reps could recite warranty terms but froze the moment a customer pushed back on price or asked "why do I need this."
Reps rehearse the real cross-sell pitch against an AI customer before they ever try it live
Accuracy, compliance, and persuasion scored turn by turn rather than just end of the call
The AI trains the pitch; every customer conversation stays human
About the client
Our customer is a consumer-facing NBFC financing electronics and appliance purchases at the point of sale across thousands of retail partners in India. Loan officers are trained to sell the loan itself, but extended warranties and protection plans, where much of the margin sits, depend on a pitch reps are rarely confident making.
New hires took weeks to sound natural on the warranty pitch, and even experienced reps defaulted to reading terms off a card rather than handling a customer's objections in real time. Leadership wanted reps practicing the actual conversation before it ever happened with a paying customer, without turning any part of the sales process over to an AI voice.
The Challenge
Reps could recite warranty terms but froze the moment a customer pushed back on price or asked "why do I need this."
Some reps had a strong answer for "I'll just get insurance later"; others didn't, and there was no way to know which reps needed help until a sale was lost.
Classroom training and shadowing got reps to "aware," not "confident," and it showed in attach rates for the first several weeks on the floor.
The only practice a rep got was a live customer, so mistakes were expensive and confidence was built on the job, slowly.
How Gyde solved it
Something like "cross-sell extended warranty on a financed refrigerator," matched to what they'll actually face on the floor that week.
Curious, price-sensitive, or skeptical, in Hindi or English, the AI cross-sales coach speaks the way customers actually talk.
Each response is scored on accuracy, compliance, and persuasion, with what was missed and a stronger version of the same answer.
Clear strengths, clear gaps, and a next-practice recommendation, generated automatically after each session.
A dashboard shows which reps are pitch-ready and which need another round, before it shows up in a missed sale.
The outcome
New reps took 4-6 weeks to reach target attach rate
Reps hit target attach rate roughly twice as fast
No visibility into which reps were pitch-ready
Managers see a readiness score for every rep, every week
Objection handling varied rep to rep
Consistent, coached responses to the top objections across the floor
The pattern behind the result
Coaching runs on the lender's real warranty terms and pricing, not generic sales advice.
The AI is a practice partner and a coach; no AI voice ever speaks to an actual customer.
Accuracy, compliance, and persuasion are scored on a consistent rubric, so coaching is fair across reps and branches.
