## Problem

New hires needed 8 to 12 weeks before running a procurement conversation alone, so a senior rep held every relationship while they shadowed.

## How AI solves it

Build AI buyer scenarios from the objections the team actually hears (budget, clinical vs commercial misalignment, competitive displacement, renewal).

Score every attempt on the company scorecard with instant feedback.

Require new hires to pass 15 scenarios at minimum scores before leading a meeting.

Let reps self-start practice the morning of a key meeting.

## Verdict

3x close rate on competitive procurement deals; ramp 12 weeks to 5.

## Tools

- [RepLab](https://www.rep-lab.ai/): AI roleplay scored against your own scorecard.

## RevStack prompt

Written by RevStack. This is not the sourced result below.

Inputs:
- Buyer type (procurement, clinician, finance)
- The objection
- Your scorecard criteria

Play a {{buyer}} in a healthcare procurement meeting. Open with this objection: {{objection}}. Stay in role and push back realistically. When I finish, score me 0 to 100 on: {{scorecard}}, with one timestamped note per criterion. Do not invent contract figures.

Example output, written by RevStack, not a reported result:

Buyer: We don't have the budget allocated this fiscal year.
...
Score 72. Discovery: you asked when budget cycles reset (good). Value: you did not tie the service to waiting-list targets.

## Result

'3x close rate on competitive procurement deals'; '5 wks to full productivity, down from 12'
