Which plan to pickThere's only a custom quote. Ask whether you'll be charged per conversation or per resolution, since per-conversation pricing charges you even when the agent doesn't solve the problem.Run the free role-plays with two or three reps first. If they keep using them, Practice covers rehearsal; only pay for Perform if you do not already have Gong or another call recorder.Individuals should take Pro on the yearly plan; it is cheap and ten sessions a week is plenty. Teams wanting their own sales scenarios need Business.
