The challenge

Every sale starts with a conversation.

In a store, a sale is often won or lost in a short conversation between an associate and a shopper.

The scenarios

Shop-floor conversations. Practiced with AI shoppers.

Associates practiced with AI shoppers, and every run ended with a score and feedback from the AI coach on what to say differently.
