Step 1
Run a baseline roleplay
Invite a small group of client reps to simulate the conversations the client cares about before a programme is sold.
Business model guides
Pre-training diagnostics
Prove exactly where client teams fail before you pitch the programme
Use AI roleplay to diagnose skill and messaging gaps before the full training engagement is sold.
Quick answer
This is a diagnostic pitch model: run a focused roleplay benchmark, show the client where the gaps are, then use that evidence to propose the right coaching programme.
The diagnostic pitch model
This model gives coaches a stronger way to sell the right programme. Instead of pitching from opinion, the coach starts with a small diagnostic that shows the client where reps are struggling and what needs to be fixed first.
Step 2
Diagnose the gaps
Use the results to show where reps struggle across skill, messaging, discovery, objection handling, or next steps.
Step 3
Lead the readout
Turn the diagnostic into a clear leadership conversation about what is happening and why it matters commercially.
Step 4
Pitch the targeted programme
Use the evidence to propose a specific coaching programme instead of selling a generic workshop upfront.
Sales motion
Make the proposal harder to dismiss
The client is not buying a generic training idea. They are looking at their own reps, their own conversations, and a practical path to improvement.
Keep the diagnostic narrow enough to run before the main engagement, but specific enough to reveal real client gaps.
Anchor the roleplay scenarios in the client's actual sales motion, buyer context, objections, and messaging.
Make the readout practical: show the pattern, explain the risk, and connect the gap to the programme you recommend.
Use the diagnostic as proof of need, not as a free replacement for the full coaching engagement.
Common questions
Short answers for coaches using diagnostics before a larger client programme is sold.
When should a coach use a pre-training diagnostic?
Use it when the client knows they need sales improvement but has not agreed on the exact programme, scope, or priority gaps.
How is this different from a discovery call?
A discovery call captures opinions. A diagnostic shows how reps perform in realistic sales moments before the programme is designed.
Does the diagnostic need to include every rep?
No. It can start with a representative sample. The goal is to reveal patterns clearly enough to shape the proposal.
How does this help a sales coach commercially?
It gives the coach a stronger reason for the recommended programme. The proposal is based on observed gaps rather than assumptions.
