# AI Sales Roleplay Training

## Definition
Using an LLM programmed with a specific sales framework and buyer persona to conduct interactive, simulated sales calls and provide granular feedback on the user's performance.

## The Bottleneck It Solves
The ultimate bottleneck for a new agency owner is not the product but **the inability to sell it on a Zoom call**. If you cannot articulate value, prospects default to *"let me think about it."* See [[quote-sales-skills]].

## The Two Modes
Program [[entity-product-claude]] via a mega-prompt that includes the [[framework-7-step-sales]] and a hostile-prospect persona (e.g., a skeptical Med Spa owner). Operate in two modes:

1. **Drill Mode** — Claude simulates a **live sales call**, playing a realistic, skeptical prospect. The agency owner practices objection handling, framework adherence, and closing.
2. **Review Mode** — Paste in a transcript of a real sales call. Claude analyzes the transcript against the 7-step framework, scoring the performance and pointing out exactly **where the user broke the framework** or **missed an objection**.

## How to Execute
See [[action-day-7-sales-training]] for the prompt structure and workflow.

## Expert Nuance
- The approach **fits current best practices in AI-assisted training**: persona-based simulations + rubric-based scoring map naturally onto LLM capabilities.
- Adjacent professional tools (Gong, Chorus) already operationalize transcript-based conversation intelligence and coaching.
- **Value depends heavily on prompt quality and the underlying framework**. A weak framework + Claude = practicing bad habits faster.
- Academic work on **deliberate practice and simulation** aligns with this method for skill development.
