Trellus

Trellus is a real-time AI coaching and auto-dialing platform purpose-built for inside sales teams making high-volume outbound calls. Unlike post-call analytics tools such as Gong or Chorus that review conversations after they end, Trellus delivers live, in-the-moment coaching overlays directly within the sales engagement platforms reps already use—Salesloft, Outreach, HubSpot, and Orum—so guidance arrives when it can actually change the outcome of a conversation.

At its core, Trellus analyzes ongoing calls using speech recognition and behavioral AI models to surface contextual prompts: when to pause, how to handle a specific objection, whether talk-to-listen ratio is skewing too high, and when a prospect is showing buying signals. The platform tracks metrics including talk speed, monologue duration, filler word frequency, and sentiment shifts in real time, giving reps a continuous feedback loop rather than a retrospective scorecard.

The Trellus AI-powered parallel dialer is a standout capability that enables single reps to dial multiple prospects simultaneously and get connected to live answers faster, effectively compressing hours of manual dialing into minutes. According to Trellus, teams using the platform have reported up to a 2-3x increase in meaningful conversations per hour compared to traditional sequential dialing workflows.

Setup is lightweight: Trellus installs as a browser extension (Chrome-based) and layers on top of existing sales engagement tools without requiring reps to switch platforms or change their workflows. This embed-in-place architecture means adoption friction is minimal—reps continue working in Salesloft or Outreach while Trellus surfaces coaching cards and call analytics in a sidebar overlay.

Trellus supports individual reps on its free tier and scales to full team deployments with manager dashboards, call libraries, and performance benchmarking on paid plans. Sales managers can review aggregated coaching data, identify skill gaps across the team, and build custom coaching playbooks that the AI enforces during live calls.

The platform is particularly well-suited for SDR and BDR teams running outbound call-heavy motions where per-call improvement compounds into significant pipeline impact. Organizations using Trellus have noted improvements in connect rates, objection handling success, and overall rep ramp time, making it a practical tool for both scaling teams and onboarding new hires quickly.
