How to Use the AI Calling Program - Industry Personas Training
The AI SDR Training Program is designed to help SDRs practice prospecting and roleplay in a realistic, low-risk environment. This tool allows you to call AI “prospects” who act like real decision-makers across multiple industries.
You’ll get experience:
-
Delivering your pitch clearly and confidently
-
Handling objections naturally
-
Asking and answering questions effectively
-
Setting meetings with decision-makers
The goal is to improve SDR confidence and effectiveness before speaking with real prospects.
How It Works
-
Click the link for the industry you want to practice with.
-
The AI prospect will introduce themselves, stating their name and title. This helps you know who you are speaking with.
-
The AI will randomly select from 4 different personas/titles within that industry, so each call is different.
-
Practice your script, handle objections, and attempt to book a meeting.
-
If handled well, the AI may agree to a meeting 50–75% of the time.
-
If the AI is not convinced, it may ask you to send information via email, reinforcing real-world scenarios.
Note: We are currently exploring how to load these AI prospects into the platform as actual contacts, so future sessions will include both roleplaying and hands-on practice in the system.
