How it works

From your URL to a scored practice call.

ColdOpen studies your company website, or a few quick answers if you don't have one, and builds a realistic AI buyer for your business. You rehearse the hardest conversations out loud, then get instant, rubric-based scoring and the full transcript.

The loop

Four steps, about a minute to your first call

1

Drop your URLOptional

Paste your company site, or skip it and answer a few quick questions instead. Either way, ColdOpen learns what you sell and who buys it.

2

Meet your buyer

In about a minute, you get a practice buyer built for your business: your offer, your prices, your customers' objections.

3

Talk it out loud

Have a live voice conversation. The AI buyer pushes back, stalls, and objects like the real thing.

4

Get scored

End the session and an AI scores your transcript against the rubric, with specific feedback you can act on.

Step one

Drop your URL (or don't)

Paste your company website and answer a few quick questions about what you sell and your typical deal size. The URL is optional: solo reps without a site, or reps selling for someone else, can skip it and the questions alone do the job.

  • No website? Skip the URL. The quick questions are enough to build your buyer.
  • With a URL, we read your public site only when you point us at it, never behind a login.
  • ColdOpen picks up what you offer, your price points, and who your customers are.
What you sellYour price pointsWho your customers are

No site? Skip this. A few quick questions do the same job.

Step two

Meet your buyer

In about a minute, while you take a short tour of the app, ColdOpen builds a practice buyer for your business, with a library of 12 objections from easy to hard, built from your business and including the one you tell us your buyers say most.

  • Your buyer is built around your market, your prices, and who else decides. Like a real prospect, it still has to hear your offer from you.
  • Pick one of four buyers, each with their own voice and style of pushback, then set how hard they are.
  • Six behavior dials fine-tune how guarded, impatient, price-sensitive, or warm that buyer plays.

Step three

Talk it out loud

This is a live voice conversation, not a chat box or a multiple-choice quiz. The buyer answers in a realistic voice, pushes back, stalls, and objects like the real thing.

  • Real-time voice both ways. You speak, the buyer speaks back.
  • Set the scene: a cold, warm, or booked conversation, by phone or in person.
  • All you need is your phone. Practice at your desk, at home, or right before the real call.

Step four

Get scored

End the session and an AI scores your transcript out of 100 against one consistent six-part rubric, sharpened by your goal for the call, with specific feedback on what worked, what did not, and what to say next time.

  • A per-criterion scorecard, not a vague thumbs up. See exactly where you lost the buyer.
  • ColdOpen tracks how you handle each objection theme over time and adapts your practice.
  • Managers see team readiness at a glance: who is ready to sell and who needs reps.

Tailored to you

Your buyer is built around you, website or not

A URL is just a shortcut. Everything below shapes your practice buyer either way, so a solo rep with no website gets a buyer that feels just as much like their world.

Your industry

Pick your industry from a list of more than 200. Your buyer is built around how your customers actually decide, whether you reach them at the door, on a cold call, through an inbound inquiry, at a booked appointment, or in a B2B meeting.

Your answers

A few quick setup questions teach the buyer your offer, your typical deal size, and who you sell to. A website adds extra color, but your answers do the heavy lifting.

Your skills

Behavior dials set how tough the buyer plays, and your scores tune what comes next: the buyer leans on the objection types you struggle with, so practice targets your weak spots.

Four buyers

One business, four ways buyers push back

Every team practices against the same four buyers. Each argues differently, with its own voice and temperament, and all four run on your business: your market, your prices, your objections. Pick the buyer you want to practice against, then set how hard they are with the six dials, from Gentle to Brutal. At the hardest levels, the buyer can hang up.

The busy brush-off

Donna

Busy, polite, and quick to wrap up. Earn the next minute or she's gone.

The comparison shopper

Trent

Weighs you against the other options he's already looking at.

The numbers buyer

Priya

Price-driven and detail-hungry. She wants the numbers before she agrees.

The guarded skeptic

Marcus

Guarded from the first line. He needs proof you're legit before he listens.

Objection depth

Objections that feel like the real thing

Your buyer draws on 12 objections from easy to hard, built from your business, so you practice the pushback your customers actually give.

Now practicing: “It’s too expensive.”

Four buyers

Four styles of pushback, each with its own voice.

Any scene

Cold, warm, or booked, by phone or in person.

Six-part rubric

A score out of 100 and what to fix.

Team readiness

By rep and by objection theme.

For teams

Know who is ready before they sell

Every session feeds a team readiness view: scores over time, objection themes each rep struggles with, and who needs more reps before the next push. Minutes are pooled across the team, not sold per seat.

Questions

Frequently asked

More questions? Reach out any time at hello@getcoldopen.com, or read the plain-language facts about the AI.

No. The setup questions alone are enough to build your buyer. Adding your URL makes the buyer more specific to your company, your offer, and your prices.

At your direction, ColdOpen reads your public website and studies what you sell, your price points, and who your customers are. While you take a short tour of the app, that context shapes your practice buyer, and your first practice call is ready in about a minute.

Yes. You speak out loud and the AI buyer answers in a realistic voice, with pushback, stalls, and objections. Selling happens out loud, so practice should too. A phone is all you need.

When you end a session, an AI scores the transcript out of 100 against the same six-part rubric everyone uses (opening hook, rapport and trust, discovery, objection handling, value clarity, and securing the next step), sharpened by your goal for the call. You get one score per criterion, specific feedback, and the full transcript. Over time ColdOpen tracks how you handle each objection theme and steers your practice toward your weak spots.

No. We never scrape or train on real company call recordings. Your buyer is built from your setup answers and, if you add one, your public website. The underlying buyer psychology comes from real sales experience.

New accounts start with free trial minutes, no card required. Paid plans use pooled minutes shared across your team rather than per-seat pricing. See the pricing page for current plans.
