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.
Content
We take note of specific facts, figures, phrases, and choice of words that were either ineffective or worked particularly well.
Style
We look for stylistic cues such as body language, tonality, and voice intonations.
Additionally, consolidated feedback forms are provided to team managers/leadership when working with larger groups.
