Questions about Sim Studio
What is ShiftMate Sim Studio?
Sim Studio is where people practise real sales and service calls with AI customers who talk, push back and react like real people. Every call is scored, with coaching on what to say next time. Companies build practice campaigns from their own product, scripts and scorecards. Sim Studio is also where businesses set up an AI outbound sales agent.
Who is it for?
Anyone learning to sell (Just me), business owners and sales teams, and contact centres and BPOs training agents for sales, service and collections calls. Businesses with more leads than their team can call can put an AI sales agent to work.
Do I need a card to start?
Not for a company. Once we've approved your company you get a free trial of 60 minutes of practice calls, with no card needed; sign up with your work email. Training just yourself is R799 a month (excl. VAT), paid by card before you practise. Asking about an AI agent needs no card.
How much does it cost?
All prices are in rand, excluding VAT, month to month. Just me is R799 a month for one person. Team plans are Micro R3,500 (up to 3 reps, plus a manager, 10 hours), Small R7,000 (up to 5 reps, plus a manager, 20 hours), Medium R21,000 (up to 15 reps, plus a manager, 60 hours), Large R56,000 (up to 40 reps, plus a manager, 160 hours). More than 40 reps is priced on request. The company pilot is R3,500 once-off for up to 5 people, 10 hours of practice and 30 days. AI agents are priced for each business.
What happens after I register?
Sim Studio asks one question: what do you want to do? Pick yourself, your sales team, your contact centre or an AI agent. Megan, the AI guide, then helps you build your first campaign or practice, you test a call yourself, and every call ends with a score and what to fix. For an AI agent, our team gets in touch to set it up with you.
Can we use our own script and scorecard?
Yes. Add your website, product guide, sales script and QA scorecard, and the AI drafts the campaign for you to check. Lines marked word for word are checked on every call. Or we build the campaign for you: R3,500 once per campaign, excl. VAT.
Are the AI customers real people?
No. Every AI customer is made up, with their own name, voice, personality and the objections your callers really hear. No real customer is ever called in practice.
What do we need to practise?
A web browser and a headset or earphones with a microphone. There's nothing to install.
Is our training data private?
Your campaigns, customers and call recordings are locked to your company, and no other company on Sim Studio can see them. Practice calls, transcripts, recordings and reports are kept for up to 180 days, then deleted (a company can choose a shorter time). Sim Studio is open in South Africa now; the United Kingdom and the United States are coming soon.
