PaddleBoat: Perfect your sales pitch with realistic AI roleplays

👋 Hi Product Hunt community! As startup founders, we’re constantly selling and we’ve realised that sales is actually pretty hard. Especially when you sell remotely because you don’t get to interact with your customer face-to-face. We wore multiple hats as founders, with sales being the toughest of them all. From our conversations with hundreds of SDRs and AEs, it became clear that we weren’t alone in this struggle. We understood that sales reps more often than not ended up burning leads in this struggle. But, who do you practice with? Practicing on real customer calls sounds risky - and you’d definitely leave some money 💸 on the table. You could ask your manager to roleplay as a customer and then get feedback on your pitch. This can get pretty awkward, pretty fast. Plus, sales managers are busy people. Who has the time ⌛️? We believe there’s a better way to help sales reps practice and eliminate dial anxiety. PaddleBoat enables companies to create their own custom voice-bots, tailored to fit their target buyer. With PaddleBoat, 🚀 Companies can simulate real-life sales scenarios, providing on-demand roleplay experiences that align perfectly with the business context ♾️ Sales reps can engage in relentless practice sessions, receiving detailed feedback without having to wait for their managers. ⏱️ Managers can reclaim their time and have peace of mind, knowing that their team is thoroughly prepared for any challenges. The real world doesn't pull punches. Why should your training? We've been hard at work and would love to get feedback from the PH community. I'll be here all day with my team to answer any questions you have. Thank you so, so much for hunting us @kevin! Really appreciate your support. P.S. Visit www.padboat.com and see if you can persuade ‘Daniel’ to schedule a demo :)

Just gave it a try (start call on the header of the site), love it, I can totally get it right away! (It's been a long time since the last time I used a product and got to the aha moment in such a short time.) It’s a bit buggy probably due to the internet, but it's awesome in general. You even get feedbacks like how many buzzwords you're saying, your speed of pitch, how long you're in monologue, etc. Definitely suggest everyone go check it out. Suggestion: 1. would be great if after the first call, I can actually select a persona to practice my pitch! Like, if I can send the LinkedIn profile of my ICP and say I want to pitch to this kind of customers 2. would be great if it's self-served. I'd like to try this out deeper on my own, I can totally imagine buying this for myself to practice my cold call skills and even get prepared for interview Keep it up, just scheduled a call tomorrow already, looking forward to it

@sheldonysh Thanks a tonne for this! We absolutely wanted to give users their Aha moment as quickly as possible! Regarding the suggestions, we already offer buyer customisations within the product - you'd be able to select their personality and even feed context about their job, profile, etc. Linkedin profile of an ICP is a great idea and seems like a next step in automation, haha! We have plans to make the platform self-serve if we see a great need from the market :D
