Product summary
Trellus is a web-based AI assistant that provides live coaching to salespeople while they are on calls. It connects to existing dialer systems and gives short, actionable behavioral prompts designed to improve call performance and close rates. The system runs continuously, acting as a real-time aide for reps who want to sharpen their approach during conversations.
Live coaching cues
- Prompt to ask follow-up questions (for example, encourage asking “why” to uncover needs)
- Nudge to insert a brief pause to let prospects respond
- Reminder to slow your pace for clarity and better engagement
Contextual prospect intelligence
Trellus supplies local, relevant information about prospects — such as current weather conditions and recent company announcements — so reps can tailor their outreach and make conversations more relevant.

Trellus installs with a single click and includes options to adjust coaching behavior to fit team preferences. It functions as a Chrome browser extension and requires an active internet connection to operate and sync with the integrated dialer.
