The Challenge

One Ride-Along a Day Across a Two-Hour Territory

Window World's central Georgia franchise runs in-home sales appointments across a wide territory, with reps visiting homeowners to assess needs, present options, and close deals on site. That coverage area extends up to two hours from the office in any direction.

As Sales Leader, Richie Sokinas oversees the franchise's sales team and lead management. With 15 years in sales at his previous company, including experience managing a team of five field reps, Richie knew the value of sitting in on a customer conversation and coaching based on what he observed firsthand. 

At Window World, he saw a familiar dynamic: a team of reps running appointments out in the field who could benefit from more consistent, frequent coaching than ride-alongs alone could provide. On any given day, reps were running appointments across central Georgia while Richie stayed behind.

"I'm only one person. If we've got five reps out there seeing customers, I can only spend the day with one," Richie says. "The rest of the time, I can't really see what's going on."

Richie wanted everyone to follow the same sales process and consistently close the loop after each visit. But without being there in person, he had limited visibility into what was actually happening in the home: what questions reps were asking, how they were handling objections, and where deals were getting stuck.

Follow-up was another blind spot. Each rep handled post-appointment outreach differently, and without visibility into how they were handling next steps, Richie couldn't coach that part of the process either.

Whatever solution the team adopted would also need to earn reps' trust. Richie wanted a platform that felt like a development resource, not a surveillance system.

The team first heard about conversation intelligence through a referral from another Window World franchise, which pointed them toward Rilla. Then, at a company-wide “boot camp” sales meeting, a colleague recommended Siro as an alternative. 

After evaluating both options, the team chose Siro for its broader feature set and focus on driving adoption by solving reps’ problems. One factor sealed the decision: Richie wanted a platform that reps would actively use to review their own performance, not just record calls for management. Siro was built to do exactly that.

The Solution

Coaching Every Appointment from Transcripts, Scorecards, and AI

Siro's onboarding moved quickly. Within a week of the initial meeting, every rep had access to the platform. The full team attended a virtual walkthrough covering how the system worked, how to set it up, and how to start recording. 

Over the next two weeks, Siro hosted Monday check-ins and asked reps to listen to a small set of their own recordings to drive adoption. 

With recordings from appointments flowing in, Richie now reviews every rep's performance from the office instead of spending days on the road. Rather than listening to complete audio files, he can quickly scan transcripts covering in minutes what a ride-along would take hours to observe.

He’s tuned the scoring criteria several times to keep it calibrated. "I told them, we can tweak this and get all of you to score 100 every single time. But that's not the point," Richie says. "If you get 100 every time, you don't feel like there's room for improvement." When a score raises a question, he uses Ask Siro to drill into specific moments—querying how a rep handled an objection or whether they hit a key step in the process.

The initial hesitation other reps felt about being recorded faded as they saw how Richie uses the data: not to monitor, but to help them identify missed steps and become more effective in the home. The team self-coaches with Siro’s Chat feature, asking questions like what they could have done differently and getting targeted coaching prompts after each appointment to improve their performance. That consistent engagement reflects how fully the team has embraced the platform.

Beyond coaching, Siro gives Window World a clear, objective view of how reps are running appointments. By scanning transcripts, Richie can see whether reps are following the sales process, hitting key steps, and handling objections the way the team agreed—making it easier to standardize how appointments run. And if a customer has questions, Richie can quickly check the transcript and clarify what was discussed.

The team has also leaned into Siro's AI-generated follow-up feature. Rather than crafting outreach from memory after an appointment, reps now send messages grounded in the actual conversation with the homeowner. That more targeted follow-up has contributed to the improvement in close rates Richie has seen since adopting the platform.

Results

Full Coaching Coverage Across 335 Appointments in 5 Months

With Siro, Richie coaches his full team from every recorded appointment with the same specificity that previously required a full-day ride-along. Richie now has clear visibility into how reps run their sales process, delivering more targeted coaching without ride-alongs, added headcount, or extra costs.

Since adopting Siro, Window World has seen:

• 335 appointments recorded and analyzed over 5 months

• 15+ hours of ride-along time reclaimed weekly

Looking ahead, the franchise plans to use Siro to onboard its next round of new hires, providing a structured way to learn the sales process from real conversations. The broader Window World network has also taken notice. At a recent regional training event in Charleston, Richie shared his team's experience as other franchise locations evaluated conversation intelligence tools.
