Score every call against your methodology

Quotain turns your playbook into criteria reps practice against and managers check on real calls, stage by stage.

A Quotain scorecard editor with the team's Discovery playbook open as its source. Each of the playbook's five stages connects to the weighted scorecard section it became.

You trained the team on a new methodology at kickoff. A quarter later, you still can't say which reps run discovery the new way.

Your playbook becomes the standard. Quotain writes each stage as criteria a manager can check in a transcript.

    Size what it costs

    Before you show anything, get the buyer to put the problem in their own terms: what it costs the team, what better would look like, and why it has to change now.

Questions teams ask before rolling out a methodology

How do we turn a methodology into a scorecard?

Start from Quotain's default for the call stage, such as Discovery, and ask the Assistant to draft requirements from your methodology documents in Knowledge. Each requirement defines what earns credit and what doesn't, with an example of what good looks like. Review the draft before you publish it.

Do we have to use a named framework?

No. The scorecard follows your own playbook, whatever it is called. Write each stage as behavior a reviewer can hear in the conversation, and keep one scorecard per call stage when the required behaviors differ.

How do we know the scorecard grades fairly?

Calibrate it before rollout. Grade a batch of past sims and real calls with the draft, read the results, and adjust any requirement that gives or withholds credit wrongly. Published versions are read-only, so past grades don't change when you edit a new draft.

Can we use the same criteria in practice and real calls?

Yes. A published scorecard grades practice sessions and imported real calls. Link it to a call stage and calls at that stage are graded on it, so reps are measured against the same requirements in both.

How do we check whether the methodology reached the field?

Review real calls graded on the published scorecard. A requirement marked as must be met to pass shows as a critical miss when it isn't met, and you can start practice from that call so the rep works on the same situation.
