Customer brief
Example- Context
- He asks for sales training for new hires who offer discounts too quickly.
- Your objective
- Define a behavior to work on and the starting skill level.
« We’re looking for two days of sales training. »
What situations should reps practice?
Three scenarios to adapt to your offering and the people you speak with.
- A manager asks for general sales training. The goal is to clarify the situations the team struggles with.
- A buyer compares course lengths even though the audiences and objectives differ. The sales rep brings the focus back to learning outcomes.
- A company is looking for financial support. The sales rep checks the requirements instead of guaranteeing funding.
What questions should you ask?
A question calls for listening, then restating what you heard. Choose one that responds to what the other person just said.
- “In what situation would you like to see participants act differently?”
- “What is their starting skill level, and where will they be able to practice?”
- “How will you observe them putting what they learned into practice after the training?”
How do you prepare reliable scenarios?
Do not invent eligibility for funding, official recognition, or certification. The product's internal practice certificates are not professional certifications.
Guided setup uses your profile and documents to suggest AI-played customers. Review the facts, the contact's role, and the scorecard before activating them.
How do you debrief?
First, consider whether your question surfaced useful information. A cautious answer that calls for verification is better than a confident but incorrect claim.
