Substrata analyzes the non-verbal and behavioral signals in sales conversations — tone, pacing, power dynamics, confidence, and emotional subtext — going beyond transcript analysis to understand how deals are progressing at a human level.
Product Overview
While most conversation intelligence tools analyze what was said, Substrata focuses on how it was said. Its AI models are trained on negotiation psychology and behavioral economics to detect signals like buyer disengagement, unspoken skepticism, relationship dynamics between rep and prospect, and moments of real deal momentum. These signals are surfaced as coaching insights and deal health indicators that pure transcript analysis misses.
RevOps Jobs-to-Be-Done
- Behavioral deal health scoring — Analyze emotional and social dynamics across sales calls to identify deal risk factors that don't appear in transcript analysis. KPI: Surface at-risk deals earlier using behavioral signals rather than waiting for silence
- Power dynamics coaching — Train reps on how to recognize and handle situations where they're losing control of a conversation or deferring too much to the buyer. KPI: Improve negotiation effectiveness by coaching reps on non-verbal communication patterns
- Relationship health monitoring — Track the quality of the rep-prospect relationship across multiple calls to identify when relationships are warming or cooling. KPI: Intervene in cooling relationships before they become lost deals
