How to: Build Excitement for Roleplays and Skill Development Overview
Last updated: May 6, 2025
Summary
Let’s face it—talking to an AI can feel weird at first. But once reps see how fun and valuable it is, they often get hooked. To take that energy even further, you can turn skill development into a teamwide competition, making practice feel less like training and more like a challenge.

How to Create Buzz Around Roleplays
1. Start with the Hook
Introduce AI roleplays as a private, judgment-free way to improve fast.
Highlight that top reps use it to sharpen their edge, not just new hires.
2. Launch a Team Competition
Create a leaderboard challenge (e.g., best objection handling score, highest pitch rating).
Offer fun rewards like digital badges, shoutouts, or even coffee gift cards.
3. Make it Public
Post top scores in Slack or your team workspace.
Share "Call of the Week" examples to highlight winning behaviors.
4. Celebrate Progress
Call out most improved reps.
Highlight reps who complete the most roleplays or hit new personal bests.
