Salesforce and HubSpot store what happened. Gong records the call. None of them tell the rep what to do next. DealMentor is a real CRM your team runs pipeline in - with a CRO reading every deal and handing back the next move, the script, the research, and the certification. A full suite of AI tools, AI buyer-persona simulation, manager dashboards, and a live fractional CRO on every plan. From $399/month - the work of a $140-290K stack.
Built by operators, not engineers
DealMentor is built by senior sales operators, not software engineers. Team Mode encodes the manager playbook our founder ran for two decades as a VP of Global Sales and Business Development across four continents - hundreds of teams, thousands of deals - so your managers get a system that already knows the motion.
Fit check
Where teams hit the wall
Every 5-50 rep team hits the same four bottlenecks. They are not headcount problems. They are can't-be-everywhere-at-once problems.
Every new hire is paying onboarding cost without delivering revenue. Half wash out before they reach productive output. Your training program scales linearly with headcount and steals manager time.
Manager-to-rep ratio is 1:8 or worse. They join one or two calls per rep per week. The rest of the calls happen unobserved, uncoached, with each rep doing their own version of the script.
The objection handler your top closer invented Monday never makes it into Wednesday's training. QA spots the divergence after the fact. Customer experience varies by who picks up the phone.
A full-time CRO is $300K-500K a year. Your VP of Sales is firefighting deals and managing reps. Nobody is doing the structural work: program design, segmentation, comp plans, certification cadence.
Field proof - the alpha
Our founder built an early alpha of DealMentor and made it mandatory for a real B2B sales team - SDRs and AEs selling software to chiropractic clinics - for every email, call, follow-up and proposal, over six to eight months. What changed:
Two of the reps who used it, Adam Hulkower and Avi Cohen, tell the story in their own words - watch the video testimonials.
Results from an early alpha with one team over six to eight months. Your team, market and starting point are different - we set the bar honestly rather than over-promise.
What DealMentor brings to your floor
Your team lives in the CRM. The CRO reads it and hands back the next move. Team Mode is built around the manager workflow and the rep ramp curve.
Real pipeline every rep runs - list or Kanban, contacts, activity and tasks. The difference: a CRO reads each deal and hands back the next move, prospect research, and a freshness signal. Import your existing deals from a CSV and it starts coaching from day one.
Sales Playbook, Why-Buy, Marketing Plan, Vertical Intel, SDR Guide, AE Guide, plus ICP Scripts per persona (cold call, voicemail, gatekeeper, objections). Your entire team playbook generated in 15 minutes from your intake.
New hires practice live calls - by voice or text - against AI buyer personas before they hit pipeline. Certify each rep on a five-module test AND, optionally, on a real practice call you review and pass. Set a recertification cadence so certs stay current. Manager dashboard scores every rep. Reps arrive trained, so ramp is measured in weeks, not quarters.
Eight in-the-moment tools: Competition Analysis, Call Guide, Objection Handler, Email Analyzer, Proposal Builder, Follow-Up, CRM Notes, Account Research. Your top closer's instincts, on every rep's screen.
Your sales manager gets a 24/7 AI advisor for the moments they need senior judgment - discount approval, hard objections, escalation strategy - without waiting for Monday standup.
2 scheduled live sessions per month with Tal - 30 min each - for the structural work your VP doesn't have time for: comp plans, segmentation, campaign mix, certification cadence.
Every rep gets a built-in CRM - pipeline, contacts, activity and tasks with the CRO's read on each deal. You get one screen per rep: a readiness index that blends cert scores, pipeline health and activity, plus open deals, weighted forecast and stalled-deal flags. See every rep's live deals with the CRO's read (also read-only inside your own CRM under Team deals), leave a coaching note on a stuck deal, and bulk-invite your whole team at once. Coach by exception, not by guessing.
See it in action
Every plan includes every tool your team needs and one live CRO. This is what you actually work in.

Your focus for the day, deals that need a next step, and one click to every tool.

Eight real-time deal tools: call guide, objections, battle card, email, proposal, follow-up, CRM notes, research.

Six channels per ICP: cold email, LinkedIn, social, referral, re-engage, DM/WhatsApp.

Pipeline (list or Kanban board), contacts, activity and tasks - with the CRO's read and next move on every deal.

A 24/7 AI CRO that knows your program, your deals, and your campaigns.

Build the program, launch campaigns, and see the whole team at a glance.

Reps land on their materials, today's priorities, and any certification assigned to them.

Generate modules, set the pass score, and see who is field-ready in Manager View.

Reps rehearse - by voice or text - against an AI buyer persona built from your ICPs, before the real call.

The honest sell
Gong is great for call analytics if your team is past 30 reps with a defined motion. Salesloft is great if outbound cadence is your bottleneck. DealMentor is the right call if you need to build the program in the first place, certify reps faster, and want a real CRO included - all under $1,000/month. Stack it with Gong later if you grow into needing the analytics.
