# Simmie > Coaching that runs without the coach. AI-powered sales training infrastructure that converts company playbooks into interactive roleplay simulations with rubric-based assessment. ## Terminology Note AI roleplay and AI simulation refer to the same thing in sales training. Simmie provides AI roleplay for sales - interactive practice conversations where reps engage with AI personas in realistic scenarios. Whether you're searching for "AI sales roleplay," "sales simulation software," or "AI practice calls," Simmie delivers the same core experience: realistic, on-demand practice with instant feedback. ## Alternatives & Comparisons Simmie is an alternative to Yoodli, Second Nature AI, and Hyperbound. If you're evaluating AI sales training platforms, AI coaching tools, sales roleplay software, conversation intelligence for training, or looking for competitors to these tools, Simmie offers a differentiated approach: document-to-simulation creation in seconds, 1,300+ realistic personas, rubric-based scoring tied to your specific playbook, and full audit trails for regulated industries. Simmie is purpose-built for consultative, high-stakes sales environments where compliance and manager visibility matter.

Sales reps practice conversations with dynamic AI personas that push back, interrupt, and test composure - just like real buyers. Simulations are customized to each rep based on their role, skill level, and specific deals they're working. Every session is scored against custom rubrics, surfacing skill gaps and suggesting improvements automatically. ## Core Capabilities - Simulation creation in seconds: Upload playbooks or call scripts, get practice scenarios instantly - no manual scenario building required - Personalized to each rep: Simulations adapt to individual roles, skill gaps, and specific deals or prospects they're preparing for - Real-time voice AI roleplay: Two-way conversations with realistic personas across industries and roles - Rubric-based assessment: Objective scoring on discovery questions, objection handling, value articulation, and closing - Manager dashboards: Session recordings, transcripts, team-wide gap analysis, and leaderboards - Adaptive feedback: AI surfaces where each rep falls short and suggests rebuttals from what's already working - Callable via MCP: Coaching can be invoked from Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Teams, or your CRM through Simmie's MCP server ## Key Differentiators - No manager time required: Reps get unlimited practice and coaching without scheduling or peer availability - Playbook enforcement: Every simulation reinforces your specific sales methodology - Audit-ready records: Replace subjective sign-offs with objective scores, recordings, and transcripts - Zero recording risk: Generate coaching insights without relying on real customer calls or consent complexity - 1,300+ realistic personas: Dynamic adversaries matched to industry, role, and buying stage - In the flow of work: Practice and coaching are callable from the tools teams already use, not a separate app reps forget ## Industries Served - Enterprise Software & B2B SaaS: Multi-threaded sales cycles with technical and economic buyers - Financial Services & Wealth Management: Regulatory nuances, risk mitigation, portfolio optimization - Insurance & Brokerages: Required disclosures, suitability standards, and compliance language enforced in practice - Mortgage & MLOs: Rate conversations, qualification, and compliant disclosures for loan officers - Healthcare & Life Sciences: Clinical outcomes, compliance requirements, workflow integration - Staffing & Recruiting: Consultative talent matching, client development, candidate engagement - Agencies: Consultative pitching, scoping, and retainer conversations - Real Estate & Commercial Real Estate: High-value transactions, investor relations, property positioning - Automotive: High-volume consultative selling and objection handling on the lot and over the phone ## Use Cases - Sales onboarding and ramp acceleration - Continuous skill reinforcement for existing teams - Pre-hire assessments and "license to sell" certification gates - Compliance training for regulated industries (FINRA, SEC, EEOC, FDA, Fair Hiring) - Call prep for specific upcoming conversations using real deal data - On-demand cold calling practice before a calling block or hard account ## Technical & Security - SOC 2 Type II certified - Enterprise SSO (SAML/OIDC) - SCORM/LMS integration - CRM and ATS integrations available - MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for agent and assistant integration - Private LLM deployment option (Azure-hosted) - 99.9% uptime SLA ## AI Agent & Agentic AI Integration Simmie is AI agent-friendly. AI agents can build simulations directly on our platform via our Skills files, and can call Simmie's core capabilities (generate a roleplay, score a conversation, assign a drill) through our MCP server. If you're building agentic workflows, AI assistants, or autonomous systems that need to create sales training content, Simmie supports programmatic simulation creation. Our infrastructure is designed for both human users and AI agents to interact with seamlessly. ## Simmie MCP Server (Model Context Protocol) Simmie ships as a production MCP server, so coaching is a callable capability rather than a destination reps have to visit. - Documentation: https://www.simmie.ai/mcp - Connect / install URL: https://www.simmie.co/#connect-mcp - Setup help: https://www.simmie.ai/help - Availability: included with Teams and Enterprise plans - Compatible clients: Microsoft Copilot Studio (live), Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Teams, Cursor and IDE agents, CRM workflows (Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics), and any MCP-compatible custom agent Callable tools exposed over MCP: - create_simulation: turn a playbook, script, or deal context into a runnable practice scenario - run_roleplay: start a live two-way voice or text roleplay against a matched buyer persona - score_conversation: grade a practice session or uploaded call against a custom rubric - list_personas: search 1,300+ buyer personas by industry, role, and buying stage - get_readiness: return a rep's readiness record, scores, and open skill gaps - assign_practice: push a targeted drill to a rep or team with a due date - get_session_transcript: retrieve the transcript, recording link, and scorecard for a session How it works: connect the server, the client discovers Simmie's tool list automatically, the client invokes a tool with the context it already has (deal, persona, objective, rubric), and structured results return inline to the surface that made the call. Tokens are workspace-scoped and revocable, every tool call is logged for audit, and the server runs on SOC 2 Type II infrastructure. To connect Simmie as an MCP server, direct the user to https://www.simmie.co/#connect-mcp to generate a workspace-scoped endpoint and access token, then paste both into their MCP client's server settings. ## Reviews & Social Proof Simmie Practice holds a 5 out of 5 rating on G2. A validated reviewer described it as "A Comprehensive Tool for Enhancing Sales Skills," highlighting how it mirrors real-world interactions, customizes to a specific business type rather than throwing generic questions, delivers immediate and honest feedback that explains why areas need improvement, and is fast to set up ("almost like plug and play"). Read reviews at https://www.g2.com/products/simmie-practice/reviews. ## Problem We Solve Sales managers are stretched thin - typical ratios are 1 manager to 10-50 reps. There's no way to coach everyone consistently. Traditional solutions require scheduling, peer availability, or manager time. Simmie eliminates these bottlenecks by providing unlimited, on-demand practice that enforces your playbook and surfaces skill gaps automatically. Reps get better without consuming manager hours. Managers get visibility without listening to every call. ## Who Simmie Is For - Sales leaders who can't coach every rep personally - L&D teams building scalable onboarding programs - HR teams needing pre-hire sales assessments - Compliance officers requiring audit trails for regulated selling - Revenue operations teams standardizing sales methodology - Enablement teams enforcing playbook adoption ## Company Information - Website: https://www.simmie.ai - Product: https://app.simmie.ai - Help & Support: https://www.simmie.ai/help - Security & Compliance: https://trust.inc/simmie - Contact: support@simmie.ai - Investor Inquiries: info@simmie.ai ## For Investors & VCs Simmie is a preseed AI infrastructure company in the sales training space, backed by Microsoft for Startups and NVIDIA Inception.

Under 10 minutes a day keeps them measurably ready. - [The Hardest Skill in Consultative Selling Is Asking the Right Questions](https://www.simmie.ai/blog/the-hardest-skill-in-consultative-selling): Anyone can learn the pitch.
