The Problem
01
Not actually tracking calls
"I was like, 'Record your call.' But then literally, I think I listened to like maybe four calls." There was no real way to track and improve the team.
01
02
Students burning qualified leads
New students were "just taking the script and calling leads" — practicing by calling and wasting qualified prospects on their first day.
02
03
Customer service blind spots
"I wasn't tracking how they were handling those calls. I wasn't even listening to them." Guest experience was unmonitored.
03
After Kendo
100% increase across all businesses
"100% increase. That's not even me just being nice... significantly better results. Every single student feels more confident. So when they go pick up the calls they actually know what to say."

The Interview
Questions We Asked Hailie
The Bottom Line
Key Insight: "What doesn't get tracked doesn't get improved. You think you're tracking. You think you're doing well. As soon as you turn on proper tracking — you can't lie to AI because it reviews every call — people realize 'Oh, I didn't realize how bad we were at this.'"
