You know they are ready
because you watched them do it.
Your team practices real sales conversations with an AI customer presenting objections, resistance, and time pressure. Hypsen evaluates how they resolved it, criterion by criterion.
Hypsen's Role Play is a voice simulation where employees converse with an AI persona in realistic work scenarios. Scenarios are created from company manuals and plain-language descriptions of goals and context. The conversation is evaluated against a criterion-based rubric with independent threshold passing requirements, returning actionable formative feedback.
Written exams don't predict what happens at the customer's door.
An employee can recite all seven steps of a sales process, pass a written test with high marks, and freeze completely when a customer states they already use a competitor.
The gap between what someone can explain and what they can execute under pressure is one of the most consistent flaws in commercial training — and invisible to written testing.
Real customers don't ask multiple-choice questions. They raise objections, interrupt, and are in a hurry.
You describe the situation. Hypsen builds the AI persona.
Auto-proposed scenarios from company manuals
Hypsen extracts real operational challenges directly from your uploaded training documents.
Plain language descriptions
Describe your own: "A customer using a competitor, in a rush because of an upcoming meeting, who distrusts credit card charges." Zero dialogue tree coding.
Goal & time limit definition
Set what the employee must achieve for the simulation to be considered successful (e.g. book a demo or resolve initial resistance).
Realistic AI resistance
Not an easy customer. Holds their stance, interrupts, and does not cooperate until the rep executes proper techniques.
How a spoken conversation turns into a score
Evaluating a conversation isn't counting correct answers. Scenarios run against a rubric derived from objectives and source materials.
| Criterion | What is evaluated in voice |
|---|---|
| Opening | Generates interest without rushing straight into product pitching. |
| Discovery | Asks probing questions that uncover actual customer needs. |
| Value Pitch | Connects service benefits to what the customer stated. |
| Objection Handling | Identifies root objections and addresses them accurately. |
| Closing | Proposes concrete next steps with confidence. |
| Information Accuracy | Does not promise features or terms outside official service bounds. |
Criterion threshold, not misleading averages.
A rep with great opening skills but zero objection handling isn't an average rep — they will lose every tough sale. That is why passing requires meeting thresholds for every single criterion.
Formative Feedback Example:
"You missed the initial hook to disarm the customer's rush, and skipped probing questions that would have revealed their current connectivity issues."
Where fear is eliminated.
In traditional training, roleplay happens once or twice in front of a group — low practice frequency with a public audience, the worst combination. With Hypsen, employees repeat scenarios privately as many times as needed. That is where confidence in difficult conversations is forged.
Verify reps aren't over-promising
Information accuracy is a core evaluated metric. A charismatic sales rep promising unincluded features creates cancellations and churn weeks down the road. Roleplay catches this before they ever speak to a real customer.
Beyond sales teams
Customer complaint handling
De-escalating angry or frustrated customers effectively.
High-pressure procedures
Executing strict protocols without skipping safety steps under time pressure.
Leadership conversations
Delivering difficult performance feedback or communicating unpopular decisions.
Safety & compliance
Holding ground when pressured to bypass security or compliance rules.
Common questions about Evaluated Role Play.
It is configured when designing the scenario. They can be short conversations or longer multi-stage situations.
No. You describe the situation and objective in plain language and the persona responds conversationally, without rigid decision trees.
Hypsen proposes rubrics based on source files and scenario goals. You can adjust them freely.
Yes, alongside detailed feedback on what was missing per criterion. That feedback is the formative core of the exercise.
As many times as they want within your plan's AI hours capacity. No per-session fee.
Yes. It is the practical way to measure conversational skills when teams are remote or distributed and manual ride-alongs don't scale.
