Practice with a text counterpart

Practice difficult questions before your call with a text AI counterpart and your Prospect context.

Practice difficult questions before the live call. Rehearsal uses the same pursuit context: the Prospect, selected Playbook, your profile, relevant materials, and coaching memory. This walkthrough follows the Selling scenario; integrated acceptance across all three scenarios remains pending.

The current desktop supports a text counterpart. You speak through your microphone; the simulated customer's replies appear in the cockpit as Customer (AI) for Selling. Avatar and spoken-counterpart features are outside this release.

Set up the practice

  1. Open the Prospect you want to practice.
  2. Review Brief, Preparation, and any Next focus in Memory.
  3. Choose Rehearsal in the launch dock.
  4. Select a Customer persona from the available catalog.
  5. Choose Cooperative, Realistic, or Challenging under Difficulty.
  6. Review Playbook for this session, Effective setup, and Session and debrief access, then choose Start rehearsal. New Team Sessions default to Shared with you and that Team's owner/admin; choose Private for author-only access.

Microphone access is required. Open Privacy & permissions before starting if it has not been granted.

Practice one improvement

Read the counterpart's reply, then answer aloud. Keep the practice centered on a concrete outcome, such as identifying the decision owner before proposing an evaluation.

The Steer the copilot… composer changes coaching instructions. It does not send your typed dialogue to the AI buyer. Use your voice for your side of the conversation.

Review and repeat
