What is Kendo AI?

Kendo AI is a sales training platform that analyses recordings of customer calls to identify coaching opportunities and performance gaps. The tool uses AI to review conversations, pinpoint specific moments where reps could have handled objections better or moved deals forward, and then provides targeted training through AI-powered roleplay scenarios. Rather than generic sales training, it focuses on what individual reps actually need to improve based on their real conversations. It's designed for sales teams and managers who want to speed up rep onboarding, improve close rates, and reduce the cost of traditional sales coaching.

Pros & Cons

Advantages

  • Provides feedback based on real calls rather than hypothetical scenarios, making training more relevant
  • AI roleplay allows reps to practise without waiting for coaching sessions or manager availability
  • Helps new reps reach productivity faster by highlighting specific behaviours to adopt or change
  • Freemium option lets small teams try the tool before committing to paid plans
  • Scalable coaching; one manager can review and train more reps through automated analysis

Limitations

  • Effectiveness depends on call quality and diversity; limited value if reps handle only simple transactions
  • AI feedback may not catch subtle relationship-building or industry-specific nuances that human coaches would notice
  • Requires reps to participate in roleplay training; adoption may vary if team isn't engaged with the platform
