AI role play is a simulation tool where teams that run sales or customer conversations practice dialogue with AI in a defined scenario. The system produces turn-based conversation, coaching scores, and feedback reports. In PureField, AI role play is a sales training feature used inside the panel. Practice runs stay on the training side, separate from live CRM records.
What is it for?
AI role play typically supports:
- new sales-rep onboarding
- objection-handling practice
- product or pricing conversation rehearsal
- manager coaching with example conversation analysis
- confidence building before live customer calls
How does it work?
A typical flow:
1. Scenario parameters are chosen (sector, objection type, product context, etc.). 2. The user runs a turn-based dialogue with AI. 3. At session end, a coaching report and score are produced. 4. Replay can be used to review the session again.
This flow is for training and coaching. Practice runs use training scenarios instead of real customer data, and the results stay on the training side.
How is AI role play different from cold call analysis?
| AI role play | Cold call analysis |
|---|---|
| Simulation — practice before the call | Analysis of a real call transcript |
| Starts from scenario parameters | Starts from speech transcribed to text |
| Coaching score based on simulation | Coaching + suggested CRM summary |
| Results stay on the training side | You save the summary to the activity |
Which teams is it for?
- B2B sales reps
- field and technical sales teams
- sales managers and coaches
- partner or dealer training programs
