AI Sales Copilot — “All-in-One Sales Manager”

Implementation of On-Premise LLM and RAG Systems to Automate CRM Operations and Management Control

Client is a large B2B integrator (SaaS and IT integration)

20+ salespeople, long deal cycle

4 months for MVP

Задача

Business Task

Our client had company with more than 20 managers. The management team (CEO and Commercial Director) faced a manageability crisis: scaling the sales department was expensive, and existing management resources were exhausted.

Key Problems Identified by Decision Makers:

  • “Blind Spot” in Control: The Sales Manager spent up to 40% of their time on manual “blamestorming”—discipline inspection, call monitoring, and CRM completion control. With a staff of 20, effective monitoring of everyone’s work became impossible.
  • Leaking Funnel: Due to human error, deals stalled without next steps. Managers forgot about “warm” leads, missed SLAs on callbacks, and duplicates created chaos.
  • Expensive and Time-Consuming Hiring: Candidate screening relied on intuition, making it difficult to quickly assess whether newcomers possessed the right soft skills and product knowledge. This led to hiring unsuitable candidates and wasted time on training.
  • CRM Mess: Instead of serving as an assistant, the CRM became a repository of scattered data, making it impossible to quickly reconstruct context (preparing for a call took 15–30 minutes).

Objective: To create an “All-in-One Sales Manager” system—an AI assistant that not only helps salespeople sell but also takes over routine management tasks (Auto-Control), operating in a secure closed loop (On-Premise).

Решение

Solution: Autopilot Architecture

We developed an AI Sales Copilot that functions in two ways: assisting line employees (Copilot) and providing transparency for managers (Manager’s Cockpit)

Functional Modules:

  1. Lead-Guardian (Lead Advocate)
    • The system automatically monitors the “health” of deals. If an SLA deadline is missed for a lead or there is no scheduled next step, the AI sends an alert to the manager and prioritizes the lead for the day.
    • Result: The issue of “forgotten” clients is eliminated.
  2. Smart Prioritization and Next Best Action
    • Instead of a chaotic list of tasks, the AI generates a daily plan: who to call, who to email. The algorithm analyzes the probability and value of each deal, suggesting the “next best action.”
    • The system generates draft follow-up emails, saving hours of routine work.
  3. Noise Control (Auto-Summarization)
    • The algorithm cleans the transaction history of spam and logs, generating a summary of key facts.
    • Before: 20 minutes to read the full history. After: 2 minutes to read the summary.
  4. On-Premise RAG (Knowledge Base)
    • A chatbot integrated into the CRM is trained on company regulations and scripts. It serves both an instant prompt and a valuable tool.

Value for the Manager

The implementation of the system has led to a “digital expansion” of the management staff. We have eliminated the need to hire an additional sales administrator.

  • Manual Control

    • Manual Control
      The Sales Manager spent hours checking statuses and compliance with touchpoint discipline.
    • Lead Loss
      Without follow-ups, deals “weaken,” resulting in lost revenue.
    • Intuitive Hiring
      Assessing a candidate's skills upon entry can be challenging.
    • Micromanagement
      Managers need a bit of a push to make their calls.
  • AI Autopilot

    • Autocontrol
      The system tracks SLAs and CRM maintenance quality, highlighting any risks. The Sales Manager only sees deviations.
    • Lead-Guardian
      Automatic timers, deduplication, and reminder generation. No leads are lost.
    • Screening Simulator (Beta)
      AI conducts role-play tests on product and script knowledge, providing a score for each candidate.
    • Manager's Cockpit
      A dashboard providing analytics on funnel activity and quality. Management is based on metrics rather than direct oversight.

Technical Implementation and Security

Given strict compliance requirements, we opted out of cloud APIs (OpenAI/Anthropic).

  • Core: A local LLM (Qwen) is deployed on client servers, ensuring data remains within the company perimeter.
  • RAG: A Qdrant vector database enables quick searches of the knowledge base and transaction history.
  • Quality: Hybrid prompt engineering ensures high performance of the local model by minimizing “hallucinations” through a clear input data structure.

Results after 4 months with MVP

Economic (ROI)

  • FTE savings: The system performs administrative functions equivalent to 0.5 of a Sales Manager’s salary.
  • Throughput Growth: Deal preparation time has been reduced tenfold (from 20 minutes to just 2 minutes). Salespeople take more targeted actions each day.

Operational

  • Conversion: Improved SQL -> Demo conversion through timely responses (SLAs).
  • Onboarding: Newcomer onboarding time to achieve targets was reduced due to instant access to the knowledge base (RAG) and system prompts.

Development Plans

Full-fledged Negotiation Simulator (for hiring and training): A simulator where AI plays the role of a “difficult customer”, while the system evaluates the manager’s responses against benchmarks from top salespeople.

  1. Real-time call analytics: Implementing ASR for prompts during the call..
  2. Enhancement of Manager's Cockpit: Predictive revenue analytics based on pipeline health.
