The situation
Javier is calling for the second time about the same incident. The first time he was promised a fix within 24 hours that never came. He is angry, talks fast and threatens to cancel.
Bring the tension down, acknowledge the problem without blaming other departments and agree a concrete next step you can deliver.
What makes it hard
- He interrupts as soon as he hears an excuse.
- He asks to speak to a manager from the first minute.
- He checks that you don’t promise deadlines that don’t depend on you.
What the feedback assesses
When you hang up, AI Role Play analyses the conversation and returns personalised, objective feedback, with strengths and areas for improvement. In this scenario, these modules are assessed:
Do you dominate the conversation or let the other person talk and voice their doubts?
Do you adapt the message to the other person? Are you clear and concise?
Do you avoid the words and messages you must not use for commercial or compliance reasons?
Do you speak at the right pace? Do you know how it affects the other person’s perception?
Sample conversation
This is how it might start. It’s an example: in the simulation, the avatar reacts to what you say, so every conversation is different.
Live this conversation before you have it for real.
Repeat it as many times as you need, get feedback at the end and arrive at the real meeting with your answer rehearsed.
Adapt it to your company
- The other person’s profile. Industry, role, pain points and communication style.
- Your product or service. What your team has to explain, with its key messages.
- The context of the conversation. The customer’s interests, questions and objections, so your team doesn’t know which one is coming.
