Role Play Acting & Training

Role Play is a highly effective form of communications and sales training. We simulate real-life business scenarios by facilitating 60-90 minute role play sessions with our team, industry experts, or specialist actors - giving you the opportunity to prepare for your next important meeting or practice your pitch in a realistic environment with direct, structured feedback.

Scenarios

Our standard corporate role play scenarios map onto the most common challenges professionals face. Whether it’s opening lines, asking for the money, or fielding the hard questions, we have a role play scenario to address it.

ROLE PLAY TRAINER CERTIFICATION

Learn how to lead role play sessions with your team. SAGE will teach you the techniques, games, and art of giving feedback to make you an effective facilitator.

Feedback

How good was your role play? We put a number on it. You receive a SAGE Score: a personal benchmark to measure ongoing progress. We also give qualitative notes, so you know where to focus your development efforts.

The SAGE Score

The SAGE Score is determined according to a role player's performance in 3 metrics:

​

Mechanics

We observe the environment and surrounding elements of the role play.

​

Style

We look for stylistic cues such as body language, tonality, and voice intonations.

​

Content

We take note of specific facts, figures, phrases, and choice of words that were either ineffective or worked particularly well.

​

​

Additionally, consolidated feedback forms are provided to team managers/leadership when working with larger groups.
