Details
The author set up ChatGPT to play the role of a 50-year-old CEO of a 30-person manufacturing company, with specific context and objections to include. This allowed for much more frequent practice compared to the 1-2 times per month with a manager. The feedback from ChatGPT was also more specific and actionable, helping the author improve their sales approach. Additionally, the author was able to easily switch between different prospect types, better preparing them for the variety of objections they might face in real sales calls. The author also used ChatGPT to quickly generate potential comeback responses to common objections before important sales meetings, saving time compared to their previous 30-minute prep process.
