Scenario-Based
Sales Training Experience
The Challenge
Sales training often focuses on product knowledge rather than real conversations, leaving teams unprepared for live client interactions.
This resulted in:
-
Overconfidence without understanding client needs
-
Inconsistent sales approaches
-
Missed opportunities to build trust and uncover requirements
The challenge was to create a realistic, engaging training experience that would help learners practise decision-making in context, not just learn theory.
My Approach
-
Designed a scenario-based learning experience built around a fictional company, CloudTech™
-
Created AI-driven video scenarios using digital actors to simulate realistic client conversations
-
Structured learning around key moments in a sales interaction (e.g. building trust, questioning, positioning solutions)
-
Introduced decision points where learners choose how to respond
-
Used Storyline variables and triggers to:
-
Track learner choices
-
Generate personalised feedback
-
Drive progression through scenarios
-
Incorporated light gamification (ratings, feedback, progression) to reinforce engagement
-
Designed for multi-device delivery to support flexible access
What I Delivered

End-to-end learning experience built in Articulate Storyline
-
Fully scripted and produced AI video scenarios
-
Character-led narrative (e.g. Tom “Easy” Reed) to reflect real sales behaviours
-
Interactive decision-making pathways with branching logic
-
Feedback system comparing:
-
