How do you coach F&I and the desk without a bot in the deal?
Dealership coaching has to work on the floor, in the F&I box, and on BDC phones—without a bot joining the customer’s conversation. Amotions uses a private desktop overlay plus roleplay and scorecards trained on the store’s sales and F&I playbooks. It does not replace the DMS, menu, or compliance process.
What is Amotions AI?
Amotions AI is a real-time private AI sales coach that delivers in-call guidance, AI roleplay, and post-call scorecards—trained on the customer’s playbook. It does not join meetings as a bot.
Two playbooks: sales vs F&I
The desk and the box do different jobs. Sales coaching covers needs, trade, payment range, and a clean handoff. F&I coaching covers needs-based menu presentation, disclosure discipline, and objections without pressure theater.
One generic close-rate rubric will score both motions wrong. Load approved talk tracks for each role. Personalization is on every plan, including the free Basic plan with limited usage.
Why meeting bots fail in-person
Customers are not on a Zoom they invited a recorder into. A visible bot in the deal is the wrong motion for the showroom and the F&I office.
Amotions stays on the professional’s screen. It does not join Zoom, Teams, or Meet as a meeting bot and does not speak to the buyer. In-person path: desktop app for ambient listening when store policy allows, or an approved recording afterward for a scorecard.

Phone and BDC: speaker plus the desktop app
BDC and follow-up phones use speaker audio plus the desktop app. Virtual deals can use a private overlay on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet. Organizations can turn on audio recording, so coached calls can be played back from the call report.

What to score (needs-based menu, no pressure theater)
Sales desk: discovery of use and constraints, payment-range honesty, trade process, and whether the handoff to F&I was explained.
F&I: menu presented as options the customer can decline, disclosures in approved language, and whether “think about it” was isolated instead of stacked with more products.
Do not score “packages sold.” Score whether the process the compliance team wrote actually happened.
How Amotions AI approaches this
Amotions coaches with scored AI roleplay, private live prompts, and post-conversation scorecards trained on the store’s playbooks. Salesforce is the native CRM integration; HubSpot, GoHighLevel, and Pipedrive are onboarding labels, not native connectors. Amotions is not a DMS writeback tool.

TILA, fair lending, and what this is not
Amotions does not give TILA, Reg Z, or fair-lending advice. It does not calculate payments, choose products, or replace the F&I menu. Licensed staff remain responsible for every customer-facing statement.
Illustrative roleplay lines are not recorded deals and not guaranteed PVR lifts.
Frequently asked questions
Q1.
Does Amotions join the customer’s video call as a bot?
A.

Q2.
Can we use different scorecards for the desk and F&I?
A.
Yes. Train each motion on its own approved talk tracks and rubric. Do not force one close script onto both roles.
Q3.
Does this replace our DMS or F&I menu?
A.
No. Amotions coaches conversation quality. The DMS, menu, and compliance process stay yours.
Q4.
Does it work on BDC phones, not only Zoom?
