Use case

Ramp new reps before the pipeline pays for their practice.

Turn a 6-month ramp into weeks of daily rehearsal against your own ICP, objections and pricing. Sales leaders and enablement teams onboarding SDRs and AEs.

The problem

  • Average AE ramp is 6.2 months and rising, and fewer than half of reps hit quota.
  • New hires read the playbook, pass the quiz and then meet their first real objection with a customer on the line.
  • Managers can shadow a handful of calls a week. The rest of the learning happens on deals you did not mean to spend.

What rehearsal looks like

  1. Step 01

    Upload the playbook

    ICP, personas, discovery questions, objection handling and the demo flow. Kulissa turns them into buyers who know your product.

  2. Step 02

    Assign a path

    A first-week path: cold open, discovery, three objections, a demo close. Each scenario has a rubric from your methodology.

  3. Step 03

    Practice daily

    Ten minutes a morning with a buyer who interrupts, changes temperature and does not wait for the script.

  4. Step 04

    Coach on evidence

    Every session ends in a scored debrief. Managers see who is ready and what to assign next.

A scenario on the floor

Scenario

The Skeptical Ops Lead

Buyer
Head of Operations at a 200-person logistics company, burned by the last vendor.
Goal
Earn a second meeting with the CFO.
Twist
She interrupts the pitch at minute two to ask why this is different from the tool they churned from.

Rubric

  • Diagnoses before prescribing
  • Names the last vendor's failure without trashing it
  • Quantifies the cost of the status quo
  • Secures a concrete next step

What managers see afterwards

  • Time to first qualified meeting
  • Rubric pass rate by scenario
  • Objections mastered per rep
  • Readiness before first live call

Questions

How long does it take to set up onboarding scenarios?
A pilot team is live within days of sharing the playbook. Scenarios are generated from your documents and reviewed by you before a rep sees them.
Does this replace manager shadowing?
No. It replaces the first fifty failed attempts a manager should never have to sit through, so shadowing time goes to the calls that matter.

Run this scenario on your playbook.

Twenty minutes. Your documents, a live buyer, the debrief your managers would read on Monday.
