Who will I be talking to?
Priya Nair. The AI plays a realistic counterpart who stays in character for the whole conversation, asks one question at a time, and pushes back when your answers are vague. It never coaches you mid-conversation; feedback comes at the end.
What is the goal of this scenario?
Make the customer feel heard, diagnose the real cause of churn, take ownership of the support failure, and propose a tailored save (fix + refresh + pause option) before mentioning price.
What will the AI ask me?
It opens with: Hi, I'm calling to cancel our subscription. We're cutting costs this quarter and this is one of the things on the list. Can you just process that for me?
From there it follows your answers with realistic follow-ups, so no two runs are the same. The conversation lasts up to 12 of your turns, or you can end it early to get scored.
How is my score calculated?
You get a score out of 10 for each of these criteria, and an overall score weighted as shown. Each criterion comes with a one-line note on what you did and what to change.
-
Empathy & listening 25%
Slows down, acknowledges the decision, and asks what changed without arguing.
-
Root cause discovery 25%
Uncovers the redesign confusion and the ignored support ticket.
-
Ownership 20%
Takes responsibility for the support failure and says what will be done.
-
Save offer fit 20%
Offers a solution matched to the real problem (training, pause) before discounting.
-
Respecting the decision 10%
Does not beg, guilt, or stall; leaves the door open gracefully if they still cancel.
How hard is it?
Difficulty 3 of 5 (realistic). Expect the kind of pushback a real professional would give. After your first run you can retry at a harder level.
Do I need an account?
No. You can run one free session a day without signing up and see your overall score. A free account unlocks full coaching notes, five scored sessions a month, history, and shareable results.
People also ask
How do I practice handling sales objections?
Run a sales scenario where the AI buyer raises real objections like price, timing, or "send me some info". Respond as you would on a live call, then review which objections you handled well and which you rushed.
What should I say when a prospect says it is too expensive?
Acknowledge the concern, ask what they are comparing against, and reframe around the cost of the problem you solve. The scenario scores you on whether you discover the real issue before discounting.
Can I practice a specific sales call, like a renewal or churn save?
Yes. Scenyo includes renewal and churn-save scenarios, and you can build your own with your product, your pricing, and the objections you hear most.
How is a sales roleplay scored?
Each scenario has a rubric, usually covering discovery questions, listening, handling the objection, and closing on a next step. You get a score per criterion plus concrete coaching notes.
Is roleplay practice better than reading sales scripts?
Scripts tell you what to say; roleplay makes you say it under pressure while someone pushes back. Practicing the response out loud is what makes it available to you on a real call.
