Open with a discovery question instead of a rehearsed pitch
Practice the role-play round hiring managers actually run.
A hiring manager hands you a one-page scenario, then plays a skeptical buyer while you sell to them live. This drill runs that exact round — discover before you pitch, quantify the pain, find who really owns budget, and close for a next step — then scores how you handled it.

Rosa Kwan · Hiring Manager, playing Priya Okafor, Head of Support Operations
Priya opens the round
“Okay, I'm the buyer. I run support for a mid-size SaaS company. I've seen a hundred of these tools. Go.”
Downplayed pain
The escalations, probably. But honestly, it is not that bad — my team handles it.
No budget authority
We lost two accounts last quarter, if I'm honest. But I don't control the tooling budget — that's my VP.
Scoring is already configured

The scenario
Sell me our analytics tool. I'm skeptical. Go.
Rosa Kwan · Hiring Manager, playing Priya Okafor, Head of Support Operations
Rosa is running the live role-play round of your interview. In character as Priya, she runs a 30-person support team, has seen a hundred tools like this, and downplays her own pain by reflex — she's quietly scoring your composure as much as your pitch.
Your target
Get Priya to agree to a specific follow-up session — a concrete day/time — with her VP included, to size the two lost accounts against what an earlier warning signal would have caught.
Expect these pushbacks

Burned before
We've tried two tools like this already. They over-promised, then everyone went back to spreadsheets.
Vague fade
This has been useful, but I need to think it over. Check back with me sometime.
What gets scored
Graded like a real call, not a memorized pitch.
The rubric rewards a candidate who asks before pitching, pushes past a brush-off to a real number, finds the actual budget owner, and closes for a specific next step — the moments hiring managers say candidates skip most.
- Whether you opened by asking instead of pitching features
- Whether you pushed past "it's not that bad" to a concrete number
- Whether you caught that Priya doesn't own the budget and looped in her VP
- Whether your close named a specific day/time instead of a vague follow-up

Why rehearse it
Knowing the STAR answers is a different skill than selling live.
A behavioral interview rewards a well-told story. A role-play round rewards what you do in the moment when the buyer downplays the pain, hides the budget owner, or lets the conversation trail off. This drill isolates that skill so you're not discovering it for the first time in front of a hiring panel.

What is a sales interview role play?
It's the round of a sales interview where the hiring manager stops asking questions and starts acting as a buyer, so you can be evaluated on how you actually sell — not just how you describe past deals. This preset runs that exact round with an AI hiring manager staying in character.
How is this different from the SaaS AE behavioral interview?
The behavioral interview (our sales-interview practice) scores stories about past deals using the STAR method. This one has no questions to answer at all — you're selling live to an in-character AI buyer who downplays pain, hides who owns budget, and pushes back, and you're scored on how you handle it.
What does the role-play score measure?
A weighted rubric covering discovery quality, quantifying the pain, objection handling, multi-threading to the real budget owner, closing for a specific next step, and composure while being observed. Full sessions include detailed, evidence-based feedback.
What happens in the free practice session?
Your first session is free for about five minutes and includes an overall score with brief feedback. No credit card is required. Full paid sessions run the complete 15-minute role-play with the detailed scorecard.
