How to classify CallRail Sales Call Transcripts with generative AI
As a sales team, it's essential to understand the needs and concerns of your potential customers during sales calls. However, analyzing each call's transcript manually can be time-consuming and prone to errors. In this post, we'll show you how to use generative AI to automatically classify CallRail sales call transcripts, making it easier for your team to focus on closing deals.
What is Text Classification?
Text classification is a natural language processing (NLP) technique that involves using machine learning algorithms to automatically assign one or more predefined categories or labels to a given piece of text. The algorithms typically learn from a training set of labeled text data and use statistical models to identify patterns and features in the text that can be used to classify new, unseen text data.
Text classification is used in a wide range of applications, from spam detection in emails to sentiment analysis in social media posts and reviews. It has become an essential tool for many industries that rely on large amounts of text data, helping to automate tasks and extract valuable insights from the data.
