Our Mission

Our Mission

Sales training has relied on gut instinct for decades. We build the opposite: training whose progress you can see, measure, and prove.

Reps practice with AI buyers that respond like real ones. Every conversation gets a score across five dimensions. Practice turns into a track record you can show.

What we stand for

Three convictions.

They shape every product decision, from the score to where data is stored.

Measurement over opinion

A gut-feel verdict doesn't scale and doesn't compare. So we use a score that measures everyone the same way and can be checked. That is the shared language for conversation quality.

Data sovereignty as a principle

Sales conversations contain business and personal data. Where they live and who sees them isn't a setting for us. It's a decision. Data stored in Germany. Managers only see the team.

Methodology over marketing

The score measures against established sales methodologies: the Discovery Questioning Method, the Qualification Framework, the Pain-First Method, Teach & Lead, the Core-Need Method, the Closing Mindset, and the Budget & Decision Check. We invented none of them.

EU Data Sovereignty

Data stored in Germany.

For insurers, banks, and healthcare providers, that isn't a nice-to-have. It's a purchasing requirement. sip.coach was built that way from day one.

  • Data stored in Germany. Storage is in a German data center. Individual steps, such as speech processing, run through data processors under a data processing agreement and EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
  • Access and erasure. Articles 15 and 17 are built into the app: one-click export, account and transcripts deletable.
  • The score can be checked. Every evaluation runs three times, the median counts, and the spread is shown. No black box. Aligned with the EU AI Act.
  • The works council sees no individual monitoring. Managers see team metrics. Individual calls stay private unless the user shares them.

Our Journey

From problem to platform.

sip.coach grew out of one observation: sales teams don't practice enough, because practice is expensive, awkward, and hard to measure. We change that.

  1. The trigger

    Coaching could not scale

    No manager scores two calls the same way. The colleague in the role play knows the pitch and plays the game, not the customer. There was no yardstick.

  2. The decision

    A score that measures everyone the same way

    The AI scores five dimensions, the same way for everyone. Anyone can check the math, including compliance and the works council.

  3. The principle

    Data stored in Germany from the start

    Not bolted on later but part of the architecture: storage location, data processors, access and erasure.

  4. Today

    A platform for reps, sales leaders, and trainers

    Voice Roleplay, Scoring, Studio, Academy, and Team Dashboard. Built by ESTAYA Beyond GmbH for sales teams in the DACH region.
