Nooks

Nooks is an AI-powered virtual sales floor that brings reps together for coaching, call analysis, and live collaboration in one place.

How to use Nooks

1. Sign up at the Nooks site and connect your calendar so meetings appear automatically.
2. Install the browser extension, then open the Nooks “floor” before your next call.
3. Create or join a room; teammates drop in, share screens, and review call objectives.
4. Run the meeting—real-time transcripts, note taking, and cue cards appear beside the video feed.
5. After the session, review highlights, smart snippets, and coaching comments saved to the dashboard.
6. Export clips to Slack or your CRM for follow-up and training.

A closer look at Nooks

I spent two weeks working from a Nooks floor alongside six SDRs and our enablement lead. The experience felt more like an open office than a standard video room, with drop-ins, quick huddles, and screen shares happening all day. Below is a concise take on what shone and where I hit friction.

Advantages

• Instant collaboration: Colleagues jump into rooms without scheduling, which cut back on endless Slack threads.
• Real-time coaching tools: Cue cards pop up when a prospect mentions pricing or competitors, letting managers whisper advice without disrupting the flow.
• Accurate transcripts: The word-by-word feed was within a couple of seconds of live speech and saved hours of manual note taking.
• Highlight reels: Automatic clips of key moments made it painless to build training libraries for new hires.
• Smooth interface: Even reps who dread new software felt comfortable after one morning of use.

Drawbacks

• Browser limitation: Calls only run smoothly in Chrome; Safari users on the team had echo issues.
• Limited integrations: HubSpot and Salesforce push notes, yet other CRMs need manual export.
• Audio hiccups under heavy load: Two larger webinars caused minor lag when ten colleagues listened in from the same floor.
• Pricing stretch for small teams: The lowest tier starts higher than Zoom or Meet, which may deter start-ups with tight budgets.
• No mobile app yet: Field reps couldn’t join coaching rooms from phones during travel days.

Nooks turned routine prospecting into a shared activity that kept motivation high and surfaced coaching moments without extra meetings. The platform still has edges to smooth—chiefly broader integration support and improved cross-browser stability—but the trade-off felt worthwhile once call quality and team energy lifted. If your sales crew spends hours on virtual dials, giving this tool a spin could tighten collaboration and sharpen skills fast.
