Episode notes
Engineers Learned Sales By Sparring With AI
- Sai and Atul were conversational AI engineers who couldn't sell their own startup and built an AI sparring partner to practice sales.
- That practice helped them land customers and pivot Hyperbound into a sales training platform.
Role-Play Scaled On-Demand
- Hyperbound scales role-playing by letting reps practice with AI buyers anytime without scheduling.
- This converts sporadic training into continuous, on-demand skill-building across large sales teams.
Bring Back Regular Role-Play
- Reinstate role-playing as regular practice rather than a rare event to build conversational confidence.
- Use AI to lower the barrier for younger reps who text more than they talk and fear role-play embarrassment.
