OPENAI_API_KEY and re-run for a real review.Offline extraction — no model available. 37 transcript lines, 3 objection pattern(s) matched, 0 pain quote(s) found. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for a real review.
Determined by keyword rules, not by reading the call. Verify before trusting this.
Not a real review — only 3 of 9 dimensions could be measured without a model. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to have the call actually read.
You spoke 68% of the call. That is the one thing here that was actually measured — bring it under 45%.
Whether pain was walked past cannot be told without reading the call. This needs the model.
Not judged — no model available to read the call.
Not judged — the extraction was keyword-based, so this cannot be scored fairly.

Counted from the transcript: the closer spoke 68% of the words, longest unbroken stretch 28s.
Talked more than the prospect on what should be a discovery call.
Try: Ask a question and then stop talking until they have finished answering.
7 open question(s) counted in the transcript.
3 objection pattern(s) matched, but whether each was answered cannot be judged by keyword rules.

Not judged — the keyword extractor misses any close it has no pattern for, so a low score here would be unfair.
3 of 5 never got asked. This is coaching data, and it is also the argument for a shorter question list.
Nothing captured.
Two uses: sharper briefs, and marketing copy that sounds like your buyers instead of like you.
Dana Whitfield: Ray, thanks for making the time. Before I say anything about what we do — you filled in the prep form and mentioned quotes going out and never getting chased. Walk me through what actually happens after someone gets a number from you. Ray Sandoval: So the tech does the visit, writes it up, and it goes to Sharon in the office. She emails it out. And then... that is kind of it, honestly. Dana Whitfield: Nobody goes back to them. Ray Sandoval: Not unless they call us. Which some do. But I could not tell you how many do not. Dana Whitfield: Rough guess. Out of ten quotes, how many turn into work? Ray Sandoval: Three? Maybe. It is not good, I know it is not good. Dana Whitfield: I am not judging it, I want to size it. At six thousand a job, three out of ten, and you are putting out — how many quotes a month? Ray Sandoval: Forty, fifty in season. Dana Whitfield: So thirty-odd quotes a month go out and nothing happens to them. That is where I would start, not with more leads. Ray Sandoval: See, that is not what the last people said. They wanted to run more ads. Dana Whitfield: What happened with them? Ray Sandoval: Eight months. New website, Google ads. My cost per lead went down, they were very proud of that. But the jobs did not go up. I asked why and got a report about impressions. I do not know what an impression is, I know what a booked job is. Dana Whitfield: That is the whole problem with how most of this gets sold. You bought leads and what you needed was conversion. Can I tell you what I found before this call? Ray Sandoval: Go on. Dana Whitfield: Your Google profile has forty-one reviews at 4.2. The newest one is fourteen months old. Your competitor two towns over has three hundred and change at 4.8. When a homeowner is choosing between two quotes at six grand, that is the tiebreaker, and it is not close. Ray Sandoval: Nobody has ever mentioned that to me. Dana Whitfield: And on the ad side, you have got the same Meta creative that has been live since — I want to say ninety-four days. Which means your cost per lead is climbing and it will keep climbing. Ray Sandoval: So that is why it has been getting worse. I thought the leads were just getting cheaper and worse. Dana Whitfield: The leads did not change. The creative got tired. Here is the number I want to put in front of you. Eight thousand a month of spend, at a ninety-five dollar cost per lead, closing at fourteen percent instead of twenty-eight, at your six-thousand-dollar average job — that is about a hundred and forty thousand a year you are leaving on the table. Not lost to competitors. Just left. Ray Sandoval: That is a lot of money. Dana Whitfield: It is. And most of it is recoverable without spending another dollar on ads, because the quotes are already going out. Ray Sandoval: Okay. What does something like this cost? Dana Whitfield: The programme I would put you on is six and a half a month. That covers the ad management, the quote follow-up automation, and the review generation at point of service. Ray Sandoval: That is more than I wanted to spend. I was thinking three, four. Dana Whitfield: I understand. Let me ask it differently — you told me a hundred and forty thousand is sitting there. Six and a half a month is seventy-eight a year. The question is not whether that is a lot of money, it is whether it buys back the hundred and forty. If you did not believe it would, you should not do it. Ray Sandoval: When you put it like that. But look, I would want to talk to my wife, she does the books. Dana Whitfield: Completely fair. What is the part she is going to push back on hardest? Ray Sandoval: The monthly. She got burned by the last agency same as me — she signed that contract. Dana Whitfield: Then let me take that off your plate. Rather than you having to sell my thing for me, would it be easier if I spent fifteen minutes with both of you? I will bring the numbers and she can push on them directly. Ray Sandoval: Yeah. Yeah, she would like that better than me coming home with it. Dana Whitfield: Good. What does Thursday afternoon look like for the two of you? Ray Sandoval: Thursday after four works, she is done with the books by then. Dana Whitfield: Thursday at four. I will send an invite today and I will get you the review audit before then so you can both see the gap in writing. Ray Sandoval: Send that over, that will get her attention more than anything I say. Dana Whitfield: Done. One last thing — is there anyone else who would need to weigh in, or is it the two of you? Ray Sandoval: Just us. Dana Whitfield: Perfect. Thursday at four.
