How SalesGame works

One realistic deal, with the product you actually sell.

  • Practise on your own product, not a generic script
  • Six stages, from first contact to signature
  • AI buyers react to what you actually say
Lesson 1 · Prospect · 35s

Qualify before you chase

Real pain, a reason to act now, and the means to buy.

  • Pain, urgency, and the budget and size to buy
  • Exciting is not the same as a fit
  • Spot the blocker early and move on
Lesson 2 · Elevator pitch · 31s

The 30-second pitch

Make it about them: problem, outcome, why you, a question.

  • Lead with their problem, not your product
  • One concrete outcome beats ten features
  • End with a question, not a hard close
Lesson 3 · Discovery · 36s

Ask, listen, dig deeper

Use SPIN questions and let the buyer do most of the talking.

  • Situation, Problem, Implication, Need-payoff
  • Talk less than half the time
  • Summarise with their numbers, then ask for a next step
Lesson 4 · Objections · 33s

Turn a no into a conversation

Acknowledge, clarify, respond with value, check back.

  • Acknowledge and clarify before you answer
  • Answer with value from their world
  • Never argue; don't lead with a discount
Lesson 5 · Power map · 34s

Find who really decides

Decision maker, economic buyer, vetoes, and decoys.

  • Decision maker, economic buyer, and anyone with a veto
  • Enthusiasm is not influence
  • Use your champion's intel wisely
Lesson 6 · Committee · 34s

Give each person their reason

Speak to each stakeholder's priorities with specifics.

  • Different roles, different reasons
  • Answer the question they actually asked
  • Specifics from their world move people; promises don't
