An **AI Sales Coaching / Conversation Intelligence business** in 2027 runs on: **Salesforce + Gong + HubSpot + Snowflake + Databricks + custom call analysis + multi-LLM router + CRM bi-directional sync + Workato + NetSuite + Workday + AWS**.

Daily: calls + latency. Weekly: NRR + AI insights adoption. Monthly: forecast lift. Quarterly: AI insights roadmap.
