The Listener
Strong discovery and calm under pressure. You let the buyer off the hook at the close.
Take a 7-minute cold call with an AI buyer who is busy, sceptical and ready to hang up. Get your score, see how you compare, and learn the one skill to fix first. Then take it again.
Free for early-access members. Built for the EU: practice audio processed in the EU and deleted after 30 days.
Strong discovery and calm under pressure. You let the buyer off the hook at the close.
The benchmark opens to early-access members first. Tell us where to send your personal link. The test takes seven minutes and works on your phone, with headphones, anywhere quiet.
The cold call is the heart of the score. The sprint and the questions round it out, so your result says how you sell and how you think.
An AI buyer picks up mid-meeting. Two objections, one chance to book a meeting before they hang up.
Five objections, 20 seconds each. “We already have a provider.” “No budget this year.”
Ten quick items: two logic puzzles, three sales dilemmas, five behaviour choices.
This is one item from the objection sprint, typed instead of spoken. In the real test you answer out loud and the buyer reacts to what you said.
Head of Sales · logistics company · 140 employees“We already work with a training provider. We're fine.”
Once three people from one company take the test, the company gets a page on the leaderboard. Teams compete on the median score, so one star rep can't carry it.
| # | Team | City | Reps | Median | 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Northlane Software | Hamburg | 23 | 81 | +6 |
| 2 | Kessler Versicherungen | Köln | 41 | 78 | +3 |
| 3 | Brightfold Staffing | München | 17 | 77 | +9 |
| 4 | Alpenwerk Energie | Wien | 12 | 74 | +2 |
| 5 | Quayside Logistics | Bremen | 9 | 72 | +4 |
Talk ratio is one of the signals in your score: how much of the call you talk, and how much you let the buyer talk. In this example, the rep talks most of the call.
Your reps practise against buyers built from your product, your market and your toughest objections. You see who is ready before they touch real leads.
Paste your website, deck and top objections. Pitchtake builds the procurement lead, the Mittelstand owner and the sceptical IT head.
New hires pass the cold call level before they get a lead list. Ramp time becomes a number you can see.
Every session ends with one five-minute drill on the lowest sub-score. Streaks and weekly challenges keep it going.
Paste the release notes. Reps get a five-minute drill where a customer asks about the new feature, and you see who can explain it before it ships.
Import transcripts from the call tools you already use and score them against the same scale as practice.
Sie and Du, works councils, the “schicken Sie mir was per Mail”. Personas speak the way DACH buyers speak.
New hires learn your product from your own docs: short lessons, then a roleplay where a buyer asks the questions real buyers ask.
Pick career changers who already passed the test and drop them straight into your onboarding path, at a fraction of agency fees.
EU hosting, a data-processing agreement, audio deleted after 30 days, and a works-council information pack.
An ad is a sales call where the buyer can scroll away at any second. Learn the hook, the storyline and the timing, record your own take, and get a score before you spend a euro on media.
Problem and fix, before and after, founder story, customer review, 15-second demo, objection buster. Pick one and the Lab builds your script beat by beat.
Reels and Stories, feed, YouTube skippable, 6-second bumper, Shorts. Each with its own clock for hook, product and call to action.
Record a take on your phone. An AI viewer tells you where they would scroll away and why, and you try again.
Plain-language settings for objective, structure, budget and creative count, updated when Meta changes the rules. Connect your ad account and scores learn from your real results.
Find out whether you'd be good at it before you hand in your notice. Take the same test as working salespeople and see where you'd stand on day one.
Your score is compared with people who already sell for a living, and your archetype is matched to the roles where it tends to do well: SDR, account executive, customer success, inside or field sales.
Sales interviews include a roleplay. Rehearse the classics until they feel easy: “sell me this pen”, a first-round call with a hiring manager, a discovery call with a sceptical buyer.
If you want, join the talent pool. Hiring teams see your score and your recorded practice call instead of a sales CV you don't have yet. You decide who sees it, and you can leave at any time.
You have turned unhappy guests around for years. That's most of a renewal call.
You check for understanding and adjust on the fly, which is what good demos do.
Buyers trust people who understand the problem. Many sales teams struggle to hire for this.
Hearing no forty times a day and coming back the next morning is the job.
Browse people who opted into the talent pool, filtered by score, role fit, language and city, and listen to their practice call before the first interview. Scores help you choose who to talk to; the hiring decision stays with you.
The benchmark stays free for everyone. Teams pay per rep, with a 14-day trial and no setup project. Hiring teams pay 19 € per candidate from the talent pool.
Your practice audio is transcribed and kept for 30 days so you can replay it, then deleted. Scores and transcripts stay in your account until you delete them. Everything is processed in the EU.
Only if you join the talent pool or share it yourself. Companies in the pool see your score and practice call to decide whom to invite; Pitchtake never accepts or rejects anyone, and people make every hiring decision.
Yes. The career result compares you with salespeople in their first year, not with ten-year veterans, and tells you which roles fit what you already do well.
No, every buyer is an AI and the test tells you so before you start. That is also why you can practise the same call fifty times.
Only if you share it. Your company appears on the leaderboard once three colleagues have taken the test, and it shows the team median, never individual names.
