Click the button below to start. Your AI interviewer will greet you and begin the conversation.
Speaking your pitch out loud reveals vague language, missing data points, and areas where you lack confidence before the real conversation.
Repetition reduces anxiety. Each practice session makes your delivery smoother and helps you stay composed when your boss pushes back.
The AI challenges weak arguments and highlights where you need more specifics. You'll enter the real negotiation with a tighter, more persuasive pitch.
Practice responding to common pushback like "budget constraints" or "it's not the right time" so you're not caught off guard.
A gatekeeping assistant is someone who manages access to a decision-maker, often controlling who can communicate with them.
Practicing this scenario helps you develop effective communication strategies to navigate workplace hierarchies and ensure your messages are heard.
Focus on your objectives, take deep breaths, and remember that it's normal to face resistance. Prepare your key points in advance.
Remain polite, ask for alternative ways to reach the decision-maker, and consider asking the assistant to pass along your request or concerns.
