What each level must prove
Mid-level
Accountable for owning a pipeline: handling objections, keeping deals honest and working to a quota within Brazilian rules.
You carry your own pipeline and quota, review it weekly and handle price and timing pushback without handing out a discount. What changes from junior is that you coach yourself from recordings and work backwards from quota to daily activity instead of just following the script.
Average score required: 70%
Active Listening on the Phone
Why: Lets you hear hesitation, a long pause or a changed word in a prospect's answer, and reflect it back so they say the real concern before the call ends.
Coaching from Call Recordings
Why: Lets you review your own recordings and a peer's, flag the moment a call went off track and give feedback that changes behavior, not just opinions.
Quick Qualifying Questions
Why: Lets you qualify against a quota with fewer wasted calls, dropping leads that fail on authority or need early so your pipeline holds only deals that can close.
Value Pitch Compression (60-sec pitch)
Why: Lets you answer so what do you do in 60 seconds, linking the problem the buyer named to your solution, proof and a clear ask, when the prospect is short on time.
Price Objections on the Phone
Why: Lets you respond to it's too expensive by finding out what it is being compared with and reframing value, rather than dropping the price in the first call.
Timing & Authority Objections
Why: Lets you handle not now and I need to check with my partner by finding the real blocker and booking a dated follow-up with the person who decides.
Stage Hygiene & Next-Step Commitments
Why: Lets you move a deal forward only when exit criteria are met and a dated next step exists with the buyer, so your forecast does not fill with deals you just hope for.
Weekly Pipeline Scrub
Why: Lets you spend 30 minutes each week removing stalled deals and fixing close dates, so your attention goes to deals that can close this month.
Activity to Conversion to Revenue Math
Why: Lets you turn this month's quota into daily dials, conversations and demos using your real conversion rates, and see by mid-month whether you are on track.
BR Compliance: Horário Comercial & PROCON
Why: Lets you call only within allowed hours, respect do-not-call lists and handle personal data under LGPD, avoiding a PROCON complaint against the company.
WhatsApp + Phone Cadence Combos
Why: Lets you sequence WhatsApp, a call and an email backup for small Brazilian businesses that ignore calls but answer messages, so more prospects reply.
