You've read the notes. You know the prospect's name. But you haven't actually said your pitch out loud in three days. Run one CloseCombat session before the real call — and walk in warm.

Debrief ready
There's a specific kind of unreadiness that comes from knowing what to say but not having said it recently. The words that felt crisp in your head come out tangled under pressure. The objection you planned to handle catches you off-footing. A five-minute live practice session before a high-stakes call rewires your recall in a way that rereading your notes in your car does not.
The old way
CloseCombat
Why it works
Configure the session for the exact pipeline stage of your upcoming call — proposal review, demo follow-up, renewal, re-engagement. The AI prospect's behavior, objections, and tone are calibrated to that specific stage. You're not running a generic warm-up. You're rehearsing the exact type of conversation you're about to have, against the right kind of resistance.
Enter what you actually know: their role, what they've expressed interest in, their main hesitation, relevant context from past calls or emails. The AI generates a persona that mirrors your real prospect's situation — same concerns, same dynamic, same likely objections. You're not just warming up, you're practicing against a simulation of the specific conversation you're about to have.
There's a difference between thinking through an answer and saying it out loud under mild pressure. CloseCombat creates that pressure — a voice on the other end that interrupts, pushes back, and doesn't give you extra time to think. Five minutes of that activates a different kind of readiness than reviewing your CRM notes. The words come out cleaner. The confidence is grounded in having already done it.
The debrief is ready in under 30 seconds. One coach directive tells you the single thing to fix. Not a comprehensive review — one adjustment. Read it, internalize it, make the real call with that specific change loaded. That's the whole loop: one session, one fix, one better call.
How it works
Configure in under two minutes
Pick the stage, enter your product details and what you know about the prospect — their role, their hesitation, what they've expressed interest in. The AI builds a custom scenario in under 45 seconds.
Run one focused rep
A five to eight-minute call against a scenario that mirrors your actual upcoming conversation. Push through even if it goes sideways — especially if it goes sideways. That's where you learn what's exposed.
Take the one fix and make the real call
Read your coach directive. That's the one thing you adjust going into the real conversation. Internalize it, then dial.

Common questions
Is 15 minutes before a call too late?
No — it's actually ideal. The session is 5–8 minutes, the debrief is ready in under 30 seconds, and you have a fix ready with several minutes to spare. The practice is freshest right before the call.
Does it have to match my exact product?
Yes, and that's the point. You enter your actual product name, a description, and your industry. The AI builds a persona whose objections and pain points are specific to what you're selling — not a generic B2B scenario.
What if I don't know much about the prospect going in?
Enter what you do know — even just their role and industry. The AI will generate a realistic persona from that. If you have more context, add it. The more you put in, the more the practice mirrors the real thing.
Should I run one rep or two?
One is usually enough. If something felt particularly rough — a specific objection, a transition you fumbled — run a second rep immediately after the first debrief while it's fresh.
