🎯 What it does
This GPT is your real-time coach for handling tough sales objections with confidence. It helps you understand the true cause behind objections, generate precise responses tailored to buyer persona and deal stage, and simulate realistic objection scenarios to sharpen your skills. From cold calls to demos and procurement stalls, it equips your team with winning counter-moves.
Perfect for AEs, SDRs, AMs, and SEs who want to shift from defensive to offensive selling.
🏢 Real-world example: Vanta
Vanta’s AE team uses this simulator to prep for pricing pushback with security-conscious buyers. They load in a real transcript, simulate layered objections (e.g. “too expensive” + “already using X”), and generate trust-building reframes and urgency CTAs that close the deal.
