Your carrier desk is leaving money on the table.
Negotiation coaching for carrier desks.
Every day your CSRs call carriers to cover posted loads, and most of them do the same thing: come in with a number, take the pushback, split the difference. It feels like negotiating. It isn't.
●The problem
The gap is skill, not effort.
Margin walks out on every load
For a mid-size broker, the gap between what your CSRs pay carriers and benchmark market rates can exceed $200,000 per month. That is not revenue you missed. That is margin you already had.
Nobody hears the calls that matter
A manager can review a handful of calls a week. The rest of the desk is invisible, so the habit that costs you the most is also the one nobody has ever named out loud.
Negotiation was never trained
It is a craft, and most CSRs were never taught it. Without a rep for it, they default to the path of least resistance: meet in the middle and move on to the next load.
●What LaneScout does
LaneScout doesn't replace your CSRs. It makes them better, one skill at a time.
Connects to your phone system
LaneScout integrates with your existing call recording infrastructure. No new hardware, no workflow changes. Every carrier call is captured and analyzed automatically.
AI analyzes every call
The AI listens for negotiation behavior: how your CSRs open, how they anchor, how they respond to pushback, and whether they're caving before they need to. Every call gets scored.
One skill per week
Instead of overwhelming CSRs with everything they're doing wrong, LaneScout works with managers to pick a single high-impact skill to focus on. Focused improvement beats scattered feedback.
Real-time nudges after every call
After each call, the CSR gets a short, specific nudge on how they performed against that week's target skill. Immediate feedback creates faster learning loops.
Scoring and manager visibility
Managers get an overall negotiation score per rep, trend data over time, and team-wide visibility into where the coaching is working, and where it isn't.
Knowledge that stays in the building
When a CSR leaves, their negotiation instincts leave with them. LaneScout turns that instinct into a documented, repeatable system, so new reps ramp faster.
