This Is How Ava Turns Underperformers Around

Real scenarios where struggling reps fail. Real-time support that helps them succeed.

Discovery Call Prep

Your struggling rep shows up to discovery calls unprepared, doesn't know stakeholder priorities, and wings it instead of running structured discovery.

Technical Questions

Your rep gets stuck on product questions during calls, escalates to SEs constantly, and loses credibility by saying "I'll get back to you" repeatedly.

Follow-Up Emails

Your rep forgets to follow up, sends generic emails days later, or doesn't reference specific conversation points—losing momentum on every deal.

Deal Strategy

Your rep doesn't know what to do next, lets deals stall without intervention, and can't identify risks or gaps in qualification until it's too late.

Ava Before the Axe - Why Not PIPs
Why Not PIPs?

PIPs Don't Work. Ava Does.

Performance Improvement Plans sound good in theory, but they're reactive, time-consuming, and rarely lead to turnarounds. Here's why Ava is the better path.

Performance Improvement Plans

The traditional approach to underperformance—reactive, formal, and often a prelude to termination.

  • Reactive: Only kicks in after months of underperformance
  • Time-consuming: Managers spend 10+ hours per rep on documentation and check-ins
  • Low success rate: 80% of PIPs end in termination anyway
  • Delayed feedback: Coaching happens weekly or bi-weekly, not in the moment
  • Demoralizing: Reps know they're on thin ice, performance often gets worse
  • No execution support: PIPs identify problems but don't help reps perform better in real-time
  • Creates legal risk: Requires careful documentation and HR involvement

Ava Before the Axe

A proactive, supportive intervention that helps reps execute better from day one—without the stigma or overhead.

  • Proactive: Starts immediately—no waiting for formal performance reviews
  • Scales effortlessly: Managers get their time back—Ava handles the day-to-day coaching
  • Higher success rate: Real-time support leads to measurable improvement in 60-90 days
  • Instant feedback: Coaching happens in the moment, on every call, when it actually matters
  • Supportive, not punitive: Feels like help, not judgment—reps stay motivated and engaged
  • Solves execution problems: Preps reps, answers questions live, generates assets—addresses root causes
  • Zero risk: It's free, non-invasive, and if it doesn't work, you walk away—no downside

Give Them a Real Shot Before Making the Call

Ava is free for your bottom 10% for an entire year. No cost, no risk, and a better outcome than a PIP.

Why Would We Give Ava Away for Free?

Fair question. Here's the honest answer—no catch, no gimmick, just good business.

1

We Prove Value With Your Hardest Problem First

Most vendors ask you to take a leap of faith. We'd rather earn your trust by solving your toughest challenge—turning around reps who are at risk. If Ava works for your hardest cases, you'll know it works for everyone. We are confident not chartiable.

2

It's Our Business Model

We're betting that once you see underperformers executing better, hitting milestones, and freeing up your managers' time, you'll want to roll Ava out to the rest of your team. If your bottom 10% improves, you've saved turnover costs and gained capacity—and we've earned the chance to work with your whole team.

"Most pilots ask you to pay upfront and hope it works. Vivun is saying 'let us prove it with your hardest problem first.' That's confidence."
