Why AskElephant is the next evolution beyond call recording and meeting notes

Note-taking tools like Fathom have made it easier than ever to capture what was said in a meeting. With automatic Zoom summaries, highlight clips, and searchable transcripts, individual users can save time and stay more focused in conversations.

But for sales leaders managing a team, that’s only part of the equation.

Knowing what was said is helpful. But automating sales coaching, so every rep can improve after every call, creates a competitive edge.

That’s where AskElephant stands apart.

From Notes to Coaching: What Makes AskElephant Different

AskElephant is more than a meeting recorder. It’s built specifically for client-facing sales teams who want to:

• Coach every rep, without reviewing every call
  
  

• Identify performance gaps in real time
  
  

• Drive deals forward with proactive insights
  
  

• Eliminate missed sales opportunities
  
  

• Support innovative sales enablement without increasing headcount

  
  

Where Fathom focuses on note-taking, AskElephant focuses on action, delivering AI-powered B2B sales call transcription, coaching moments, and early churn warnings that help reps and managers stay ahead.

Customer Story: How One Sales Manager Used AskElephant to Coach Smarter and Close More Deals

Co-Founder at The PEYD Group, Pinny Ackerman, needed a reliable way to review sales calls they couldn't attend and provide consistent coaching to his reps. Manual processes made it difficult to identify trends, performance gaps, or missed opportunities. The lack of visibility was slowing down the team’s ability to improve and close deals faster.

AskElephant was implemented to automatically summarize Google Meet calls and generate coaching insights for each rep. Pinny used these summaries to review call performance and provide real-time, actionable feedback without sitting through full recordings. The team began integrating AskElephant into their daily workflow, with plans to expand across platforms like RingCentral.

Pinny was blown away by the accuracy of the summaries, describing the results as “mind-blowing.” AskElephant gave him full visibility into rep conversations and coaching moments, saving time while improving team performance. With real-time insights now part of his process, Pinny is scaling smarter coaching without increasing manual effort.

AskElephant vs. Fathom: Why AskElephant Wins for Sales Teams

Fathom is a helpful tool for personal productivity, capturing meeting notes and highlights from Zoom. But if you're leading a sales team and need to scale coaching, reduce risk, and implement an innovative sales enablement strategy, AskElephant goes further.

Here’s what you get with AskElephant:

• Rep-specific coaching insights after every call

• Automated summaries and B2B sales call transcription

• Early churn warnings and deal risk alerts before it’s too late

• Seamless Slack integration for real-time visibility

• Built-in support for team handoffs across Sales, Success, and Support

• Results that sales leaders are calling “mind-blowing”

  
  

Compare that to basic call summaries, and it’s easy to see the upgrade.

The Bottom Line

Fathom is great for remembering what was said. But if your goal is to automate sales coaching, drive innovative sales enablement, and prevent missed sales opportunities, AskElephant is the smarter choice.

It doesn’t just summarize meetings. It helps you coach smarter, act faster, and scale better.
