  1. Choose the conversations, or build your own

    Start with ready-made roleplays for sales, managing people and client work. Or write the persona and situation yourself, or draft a persona from the transcript of a real call.

    • What the learner sees is kept apart from what only the persona knows
    • Three difficulty levels and a time limit on every roleplay

    Drafted from Tuesday’s call

    Glenn Abbott

    President, sixty-person metal fabrication shop

    Talks in short sentences and asks what things cost early. Warms up when you ask about the shop floor. Goes quiet when he hears marketing terms.

    Keeps to themselves unless asked well: two customers make up half his revenue, and his one salesperson retires in two years.
  2. Set the standard it is scored on

    A rubric is the skills you care about, what strong and weak look like for each, and how much each one counts. Use a shared playbook or write your own.

    • Each skill lands on a level from not shown to exceptional
    • Change a rubric later and score past conversations again
    Scored against Question-led discovery
    • Opens with a reason to talk
    • Finds what is really going on
    • Handles pushback without pitching
    • Agrees a clear next step
  3. Assign it to a person, a group or everyone

    Give the roleplay a date and a note. It sits at the top of each person's Home until they have done it.

    • Groups show people the roleplays meant for their work
    • Done is worked out from finished conversations, not ticked by hand

  4. People practice out loud

    A spoken conversation in the browser, about ten minutes. The persona answers in a real voice, raises concerns and keeps things back unless asked well.

    • A browser and a microphone are all it takes
    • Video of yourself is optional, with consent each time

    “I have about ten minutes. So what is it you think we are doing wrong?”
  5. Everyone sees how it went

    Seconds after the call ends: how it ended, a level for each skill, notes on the exact lines, and one thing to do on the next rep. Managers can open any conversation on their team and comment on the moment.

    • Listen back to the whole conversation
    • Rep after rep, the score line shows who is improving

    How it ended

    Goal reached

    Dana agreed to a second call with her director in the room.

    How skillfully you ran it

    68, solid

    Strong discovery. The close came before she had said what a good outcome looks like.

    0:00One good moment, two to work on8:30

    Do this on the next rep

    Before you propose a next step, ask what would have to be true for her to bring this to her director.

  6. Check it against real calls

    Upload the transcript of a real call and score it on the same rubric. Practice and real calls sit side by side, skill by skill, widest gap first.

    • Text only. No recording of a real call is uploaded or stored
    • An admin has to switch real calls on

    Opens with a reason to talk
    Discovery holds up in practice and drops two levels with a real buyer. That is the next thing to assign.
