See your sales process from the buyer's seat.

We pose as real prospects and go through your sales process end to end: the inquiry, the discovery call, the demo, the proposal and the follow-up. Then we show you exactly what a buyer experienced, scored and recorded, with the fixes that will win more deals.

What your buyers see that your dashboards do not.

CRM data tells you how many deals closed. It cannot tell you why a buyer went quiet after the demo, what a rep said about pricing, or how long a hot lead waited for a reply. We find out the only reliable way: by being the buyer.

Speed to lead

How fast inquiries from your site, phone and chat get a real response, and who picks them up.

Discovery

Whether reps learn the buyer's problem, budget, timeline and decision process before they pitch.

Pitch and demo

How well the story fits what the buyer said they needed, and how objections are handled.

Pricing and proposal

How clearly pricing is presented, how discounts are used and how fast a proposal shows up.

Follow-up

How many touches happen, how persistent and useful they are, and when the team gives up.

Consistency

How the experience changes across reps, regions, channels and times of day.

How an engagement works.

Every engagement is built around a believable buyer and the questions you most need answered.

Step 1

Scope

We agree on what to test, which teams and channels to include, and what a good outcome looks like.

Step 2

Build the buyer

We create a realistic prospect with a company, a need, a budget and a decision process that fits your market.

Step 3

Go through the process

Our team inquires, takes the calls, sits through the demo, requests pricing and tracks every follow-up.

Step 4

Report and coach

You get scorecards, call notes, timelines and a ranked list of fixes, walked through live with your team.

One round shows the gaps. The next rounds prove the fixes.

Most clients run several rounds. The first sets a baseline. After training or process changes, we shop again with fresh buyers and measure what actually improved, by rep and by stage.

Questions we hear.

Will my team know they are being shopped?

Only if you want them to. Most clients tell the team that buyer evaluations happen from time to time without saying when. Our buyers are built to be believable, and we wind each one down naturally.

What kinds of businesses do you shop?

Any business with a considered sale: software, services, healthcare, industrial and equipment, financial services, home services and more. If a buyer has to talk to someone before they buy, we can evaluate it.

How long does a round take?

Most rounds take two to four weeks from kickoff to readout. Longer sales cycles take longer, since we follow the process as far as a real buyer would.

Is this legal and ethical?

Yes. We follow call recording consent laws in every state we work in, never misuse anyone's personal information, and design each engagement so it does not waste meaningful time for your team.

Can you evaluate a specific rep, region or channel?

Yes. We can focus on a team, a location, a product line or one channel such as inbound web leads, phone or chat.
