The Call That Ended With “Send Something”
“Thanks. Send us some information and we’ll be in touch.”

Give your sellers a place to sharpen discovery, make the demo relevant and handle the question that changes the room. NewSkilz tailors the scenarios to your proposition, buyer priorities and team roles, with specific feedback and a stronger next attempt.
Your approved product information, sales process and playbook provide the context. We focus on how your team uses that knowledge in buyer conversations.
What people can rehearse
Useful questions. Relevant demos. Credible answers.
Choose the skills your team needs and practise them around your buyers, proposition and typical deal situations.
Discovery & Listening
Find the priority behind the first answer.
Rehearse opening questions, follow-up, listening and summaries. Test assumptions before proposing a solution.
Practice outcome: A clearer account of the buyer’s priorities, constraints and decision criteria.
Presentation & Demo Skills
Give every feature a reason to be there.
Build a clear message around a buyer use case. Practise transitions, interruptions and questions while keeping the demo relevant.
Practice outcome: A solution story that connects approved capabilities to what matters to the buyer.
Difficult Buyer Conversations
Keep your answer credible when the room gets awkward.
Practise concerns about fit, risk, price and implementation. Explore the question and use approved evidence or involve the right owner.
Practice outcome: A constructive response and a clear plan for questions needing further validation.
AE–SE Handoffs
Share the context before you share the screen.
Rehearse how commercial and technical colleagues brief each other, introduce specialist input and reconnect to the buyer’s objective.
Practice outcome: A handoff with shared context, clear responsibilities and agreed next steps.
How we work
Build practice around the conversations your sellers actually face.
The strongest feedback starts with evidence from the seller’s real world: what they sell, how your team expects them to sell it and what they actually do when they present.
01 · Align
Two views of the development need.
A short manager conversation plus focused participant and manager needs analysis helps identify the sales moments worth working on. Where useful, relevant KPIs or coaching measures give us another lens on what good performance means in your team.
02 · Bring the real work
Your deck. Your playbook. Your proposition.
Share the sales material you already use: presentation or demo decks, product collateral, approved messaging, playbook guidance and common buyer objections. We use what exists rather than asking your team to manufacture a training brief from scratch.
03 · Show, don’t just tell
Let us see the starting point.
For individual coaching, a short pre-session screen recording can show the participant presenting as they normally would. That gives the live session something concrete to work on before valuable coaching time begins.
Then practise
Feedback against your context, not a generic scorecard.
We review the evidence against the agreed development priorities, your approved sales approach and the buyer situation. The live Microsoft Teams session can then concentrate on the moments that matter: rehearse, receive specific feedback and try again.
Full-day and half-day workshops, focused series and individual or small-group rehearsal provide different ways to build the practice into your team’s schedule.
A specialist practice series
When the conversation gets difficult, bring it to the lab.
The SaaS Sales Pressure Lab puts difficult deal moments under the spotlight through eight one-hour sessions, individually or with a group.
Tailored buyer scenarios, assignments and feedback after every session give sellers repeated attempts and managers a clearer view of coaching priorities.
Explore the SaaS Sales Pressure Lab
Make the practice last
The workshop ends. The coaching carries on.
Agreed feedback tools, practice prompts and action priorities give managers a practical way to revisit the conversations their sellers need to improve.
Where your team will facilitate future sessions, we scope reusable scenarios and Train the Trainer. Bespoke materials can be licensed for agreed internal use; NewSkilz retains its underlying reusable methods, frameworks and tools.
