What is Trellus?
Trellus is a Chrome extension that adds power and parallel dialing, real-time AI coaching, and a virtual Salesfloor inside supported CRMs, sales engagement platforms, and spreadsheets. Reps dial from existing contact lists and Trellus logs results back to the same record.

Frequently asked questions
What does Trellus replace?
Trellus can replace a separate dialer, live-call coaching tool, practice tool, and virtual sales-floor workspace—but your CRM or sales platform stays at the center of work.
Can managers coach reps live?
Yes. Managers can listen to live calls from the Salesfloor and request a whisper (private audio) with the rep. Once the rep accepts, only the rep hears the manager. Managers with a dialing seat can also join the call.
Can reps practice before calling?
Yes. Trellus includes AI practice voice bots where reps rehearse openers, objections, and hard scenarios. Reps get scored feedback and can review their approach before the real conversation.
What is the difference between power and parallel dialing?
Power dialing calls one contact at a time; the rep makes and logs each call before moving to the next. Parallel dialing places multiple calls at once; when someone answers, the rep connects and other active lines stop.
Does Trellus work inside my CRM?
Yes. Trellus works with 31+ platforms including Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Apollo, Salesloft, Gong, Attio, Close, GoHighLevel, lemlist, Attio, Clay, and Google Sheets. Supported modes and follow-up options vary by platform.
Can I use my own talk tracks and objection handlers?
Yes. Trellus supports custom coaching suggestions and objection handlers. Use your team's talk tracks when configuring coaching; customization availability depends on your plan.
Does Trellus include calling credits?
Yes. Power includes ~1,300 US calling minutes per seat per week; Power + Parallel includes ~2,000 minutes per seat per week. Credits are shared across the team and reset every Monday. If exhausted, dialing pauses until reset.
Is there a free trial or free plan?
No. Trellus has no free plan or free trial. You can view an interactive demo without signing up, then buy Power or Power + Parallel online one seat at a time with no minimum.
How do I start?
Install Trellus as a Chrome extension, connect a supported CRM or sales platform, and start dialing from your existing contact lists and call queues.
