Role-play scenarios are designed to give you a safe space to practise your skills with an AI-powered resident. In this scenario, take an inbound call from a resident who wants to discuss their concerns before booking in their installation.
This role-play course gives you a safe space to practise handling a resident who wants to schedule an installation. Set at the fictional retrofit installer EcoSolutions, it places you on an inbound call from a resident who has already agreed in principle to a heat pump but still has concerns and has been given the number to book the work in. The AI responds to exactly what you say, there is no script, no on-screen prompts, and no safety net.

You'll practise letting the resident voice their reservations fully before responding, and picking up on hesitation that is implied rather than stated. Pushing for the booking before the concern has surfaced tends to stall the call.
You'll practise opening the conversation out rather than closing it down, so the concerns behind the hesitation emerge rather than being guessed at. This is the skill that most distinguishes this scenario from the others in the set.
You'll practise doing both halves of the job: recognising the concern genuinely, then actually answering it. Acknowledgement alone does not move a resident toward a booking, and an answer offered without acknowledgement rarely lands.
You'll practise responding to the disruption and uncertainty a resident faces when agreeing to work in their home. Because the AI reacts to tone as well as content, warmth that sounds scripted reads differently from warmth that sounds real.
You'll practise setting out what the installation involves in everyday terms, without technical shorthand. Much of the reassurance a hesitant resident needs comes from simply knowing what will happen and when.
You'll practise closing properly: securing a specific date that works for the resident rather than leaving the call on a vague promise to be in touch.
