TL;DR

Over the past two years, Oliv has transformed how sales reps manage meetings and close deals. During this journey, we’ve had conversations with several sales managers, all asking a common question: How can AI help me?

To answer that, we need the answer to another question: What do sales managers want?
They want to exceed their sales quota, mentor their reps to close deals faster and to always be aware of how their pipeline looks

There is no shortage of applications that claim to help you achieve this—think Gong, Clari, Salesforce, and Fireflies, to name a few.

But what do you really get?

  • 100+ hours of recorded meetings every week that no one wants to listen to.
  • 40 custom CRM fields that AEs fill with "N/A" or "123."
  • Or worse, insights for every sales activity that amount to nothing when you try to figure out why the deal won't close.

We saw your problem. We took time to understand the complexity of your work, goals and challenges. And we’ve built the solution for you.

Welcome to Oliv for sales managers

What makes Oliv different?
Insights are only as useful as the actions they drive, and Oliv understands this distinction.
Oliv provides insights specifically designed to help you take actions that move deals forward.

Oliv joins your reps' meetings, integrates seamlessly with your CRM to keep your deals fully updated and generates actionable insights to keep your deals moving forward.

We’ve built Oliv to give you:

1. Unmatched pipeline visibility and prioritization

Oliv gives you pipeline visibility at both the deal and rep levels with detailed insights delivered as easy-to-consume one-pagers instead of you going through lengthy and incomplete CRM entries.

Weekly Forecast One Pager that prioritizes deals with momentum, spotlights risks and flags urgent actions, keeping you ready to confidently decide deal commitments, especially for your Monday call with your VP of Sales.

Oliv goes one level deeper to give you,

Daily Insights like the morning brief that highlights the key deals moving that day and the important meetings you should join, and sunset summary that gives you insights on notable deal progress, new deals, and roadblocks, providing a clear view of your daily sales activities.

2. Proactive deal management

For every deal, Oliv automatically condenses essential information, like blockers and suggested next steps, into a single view based on any sales framework[MEDDICC, BANT, SPICED].

But there's more:

Oliv Moment Finder auto flags objections and deal blockers along with precise extracted clips, letting you review and take action right away.
The Buying Committee Map gives you a mapped chart view of all the key stakeholders from the prospect's organization, their objections, involvement in buying process so you can ensure every key player is addressed to accelerate closures.

3. Automation of sales processes

Oliv automates manual and repetitive sales processes like deal updates based on the latest interactions, meeting dispositions, and CRM custom field population to save time while also keeping your CRM up-to-date and consistent across deals.

4. (Launching soon) Personalized coaching for your reps

With CRM updates and manual processes taken care of, your weekly 1-on-1 with your reps can focus on meaningful coaching. Oliv gives you personalised insights for every rep that can help you take your coaching session beyond basic feedback.

The Rep Scorecard details their strengths and actionable areas of improvement based on their completed meetings. It includes extracted moments from meetings enabled by Oliv Moment Finder to help them better handle objections and blockers.

FAQ's

What is Oliv's AI copilot for sales managers?

We've built Oliv as the world's first AI copilot specifically designed to address the daily challenges sales managers face: exceeding quotas, mentoring reps to close deals faster, and maintaining constant pipeline awareness. Unlike legacy tools like Gong, Clari, Salesforce, and Fireflies—which generate 100+ hours of recorded meetings no one listens to, 40 custom CRM fields AEs fill with "N/A," and generic insights that don't explain why deals won't close—we provide insights specifically designed to help sales managers take actions that move deals forward. Our platform joins reps' meetings, integrates seamlessly with CRM systems to keep deals fully updated, and generates actionable insights delivered as easy-to-consume one-pagers instead of lengthy, incomplete CRM entries. We deliver four core capabilities: unmatched pipeline visibility and prioritization at both deal and rep levels; proactive deal management with automatic condensation of essential information into single views based on sales frameworks like MEDDIC, BANT, or SPICED; automation of sales processes like deal updates, meeting dispositions, and CRM custom field population; and personalized coaching for reps that goes beyond basic feedback. This represents a new era in sales management that prioritizes selling, streamlined operations, and meaningful mentorship. Sign up for a free trial to experience the difference.​

How does Oliv's Weekly Forecast One-Pager help sales managers prepare for leadership calls?

Our Weekly Forecast One-Pager transforms the stressful Monday call with the VP of Sales into a confident, data-driven discussion by providing three critical components: prioritization of deals with momentum, spotlight on risks, and flags for urgent actions. This comprehensive overview is specifically designed to help sales managers confidently decide deal commitments and answer tough questions from leadership about pipeline health and quarterly targets. Unlike traditional forecasting tools that rely on manual roll-ups from reps (introducing bias and delays), our AI analyzes actual conversation data from meetings, emails, and calls to provide unbiased insights into deal progression. The one-pager format eliminates the need to parse through lengthy CRM entries or manually review hours of recorded meetings—everything a manager needs to know is condensed into a single, actionable page. For instance, if a critical deal vital to the quarter's targets is at risk of stalling, the forecast highlights the specific blocker (like pending approval from the prospect's finance team) and suggests strategic interventions (such as arranging a meeting between the prospect's CFO and your senior financial advisor). This proactive intelligence ensures managers are never caught off-guard during leadership reviews and can allocate resources strategically to close gaps before they impact results. Explore our Forecaster agent to see AI-driven forecasting in action.

What are Daily Insights and how do they help sales managers prioritize their day?

We provide two critical Daily Insights that bookend every sales manager's workday: the Morning Brief and the Sunset Summary. The Morning Brief highlights the key deals moving that day and identifies the important meetings managers should join, allowing them to strategically allocate their time before the workday begins. Instead of reacting to last-minute Slack messages or fielding ad-hoc requests throughout the day, managers start each morning with a clear understanding of where their involvement will have the highest impact—such as attending a critical technical meeting with a prospect's CTO or backing up a rep during an InfoSec security review. The Sunset Summary provides insights on notable deal progress, new deals created, and roadblocks encountered, offering a clear view of daily sales activities and outcomes. This end-of-day recap ensures managers understand what moved, what stalled, and what requires intervention the next day, without having to manually review meeting recordings or chase reps for status updates. Together, these daily insights shift sales management from reactive firefighting to proactive deal support, ensuring managers focus their limited time on strategic activities that accelerate deal velocity rather than administrative review. The intelligence is delivered via Slack or email exactly when needed, integrating seamlessly into existing workflows without adding another platform to check.

How does Oliv's Moment Finder help sales managers take action on deal blockers?

Our Moment Finder automatically flags objections and deal blockers along with precise extracted clips from meeting recordings, enabling managers to review critical moments and take action immediately without watching hours of calls. Instead of manually scrubbing through 100+ hours of recorded meetings every week to find the moments that matter, our AI identifies specific instances where prospects raise concerns, express objections, or introduce blockers—then delivers the exact clip for quick review. For example, if a prospect's CFO raises concerns about pricing during a negotiation call, Moment Finder extracts that specific conversation segment and alerts the manager, who can then prepare the rep with a stronger financial justification or arrange a strategic escalation call to address the concern directly. This capability is particularly valuable for coaching: managers can use extracted clips to provide targeted feedback to reps on how they handled objections, rather than offering generic advice based on second-hand information. The clips can be shared with reps, added to coaching sessions, or used to prepare other team members facing similar objections—transforming one rep's challenge into a learning opportunity for the entire team. By surfacing these critical moments proactively, we eliminate the manual review burden that makes coaching and deal intervention practically impossible at scale in traditional sales management workflows.

How does the Buying Committee Map help sales managers navigate complex enterprise deals?

Our Buying Committee Map provides a visual chart of all key stakeholders from the prospect's organization, their objections, and their involvement in the buying process—ensuring every key player is addressed to accelerate closures. For complex enterprise deals involving multiple decision-makers (CTO, CFO, VP of Operations, Legal, Security, etc.), this comprehensive view eliminates the common problem of discovering late in the sales cycle that a critical stakeholder hasn't been engaged or has unaddressed concerns. For example, the map might reveal that while the CTO has raised technical concerns about integration capabilities, the CFO is aligned with the financial benefits, and the VP of Operations hasn't been engaged at all—providing the manager with a strategic roadmap for intervention. Managers can use this intelligence to coach reps on stakeholder engagement strategy: preparing the rep with the right technical information to address the CTO's concerns, leveraging the CFO's alignment to strengthen the overall proposal, and ensuring the VP of Operations is brought into the conversation before moving to contract stage. This proactive approach to multi-threaded deal management dramatically reduces deal slippage caused by missing stakeholders or unresolved objections that surface during contract review. Unlike legacy tools that require managers to manually piece together stakeholder information from scattered meeting notes and CRM fields, we automatically build and update the Buying Committee Map as conversations happen, providing real-time visibility into deal dynamics. See our pricing to access Buying Committee Map and other advanced features.

How does Oliv automate sales processes to save time for sales managers and reps?

We automate the manual and repetitive sales processes that consume hours of manager and rep time every week: deal updates based on latest interactions, meeting dispositions, and CRM custom field population. After every meeting, our platform automatically populates every deal in the CRM—including custom fields—based on any sales framework (BANT, SPICED, MEDDIC, etc.) that the organization uses. This means managers no longer waste valuable one-on-one time discussing missed CRM field entries or chasing reps for data updates; instead, they can dive straight into strategizing how to close high-value deals or identifying coaching opportunities. Our CRM Manager agent goes beyond basic note-taking: it creates and enriches accounts, contacts, and opportunities; updates deal details like status and value after every meeting; and handles meeting dispositions automatically. Unlike legacy tools like Gong that only log notes as a single "activity" (which doesn't update structured CRM fields and still requires manual review), we populate standard and custom fields directly—ensuring the CRM remains a reliable source of truth for forecasting, reporting, and pipeline analysis. For RevOps teams, this automated data hygiene eliminates the downstream reporting problems caused by incomplete or inconsistent data entry, making analytics actually trustworthy. Managers can set these automated processes once and keep the CRM up-to-date and consistent across deals, staying in the loop on every detail effortlessly without micromanaging rep activities. This automation saves reps 5-10 hours per week on administrative tasks and allows managers to focus entirely on revenue-generating activities. Start your free trial to eliminate manual CRM work forever.

How does Oliv compare to legacy sales management tools like Gong, Clari, Salesforce, and Fireflies?

We've built our AI copilot specifically to address the fundamental limitations of legacy tools like Gong, Clari, Salesforce, and Fireflies—which were designed in the pre-generative AI era and burden sales managers with unusable outputs. While these competitors generate 100+ hours of recorded meetings no one wants to listen to, 40 custom CRM fields AEs fill with "N/A," and generic insights that don't explain why deals won't close, we provide insights specifically designed to drive actions that move deals forward. Unlike Gong's outdated keyword-based "Smart Trackers" that miss conversational context, our generative AI-native platform truly understands conversations and delivers proactive intelligence—Morning Briefs, Sunset Summaries, Weekly Forecast One-Pagers—exactly when managers need them, without requiring manual review. While Gong only logs call notes as activities without updating structured CRM fields (forcing managers to enforce data entry manually), we automatically populate all standard and custom CRM fields after every meeting, eliminating this administrative burden entirely. From a cost perspective, Gong charges $149-$250/user/month with heavy platform fees ($5,000+ base) and implementation fees ($10,000-$30,000 for 100-person teams); we offer transparent modular pricing starting at $0 for unlimited recordings, $19-$59/user/month for intelligence, and $199/month for the Deal Driver agent specifically designed for sales managers. Many companies pay ~$500/user/month by stacking Gong (conversation intelligence) + Clari (forecasting), creating data silos and workflow fragmentation; we provide both capabilities in one unified platform at a fraction of the cost. Unlike Gong's three-to-six-month implementation cycles, we deploy in days by simply connecting to your calendar, email, and CRM. For teams migrating from Gong, we offer special pricing at 60-70% savings while delivering superior AI-native capabilities.
