For people preparing for a sales interview, or moving into sales from another career
Sales interview practice for job seekers and career changers
Sales interviews test whether you can sell, not just whether you can talk about selling. Many include a roleplay: sell me this pen, a mock cold call, or a discovery call with the hiring manager playing the buyer. Vonvo lets you rehearse those rounds out loud with an AI buyer and see your score before the real one.
250 free credits, about 25 minutes of practice. No card needed. Recommended: start on the free trial
- AI buyer
I run sales at a logistics firm. You've got me for a minute. Go.
- You
Thanks for picking up. I work with logistics teams on how they book meetings. Can I ask how your reps do it today?
- AI buyer
We're fine. We have a process.
- You
Good to hear. If you could change one thing about it, what would it be?
Fictional interview round.
Sound familiar?
If one of these sounds like you, there is a drill for it.
I've never sold anything, officially.
Career changers often have the skills (persuading, listening, handling pushback) but no sales title to point to.
What to practice: A strong roleplay round is evidence a resume can't give. Practice it until it's your best answer.
I freeze when they say 'sell me this pen.'
It is a short, open prompt, and most people start describing the pen instead of asking about the buyer.
What to practice: Do the 90-second drill, then say your answer out loud to an AI buyer.
The mock cold call is the round I dread.
SDR and BDR interviews often include a live cold call to the hiring manager. You have about a minute to earn the next question.
What to practice: Rehearse the opener and the first objection until you can do both without notes.
I can't afford a coach for every interview.
Paid mock interviews add up, and one session isn't enough to feel comfortable.

When another plan fits better
- Starter ($49/mo) if you have several interviews lined up, or want to set up the buyer for a specific company with the scenario builder.

Questions from job seekers
I have no sales experience. Is this for me?
Yes. You don't need a sales job to practice, and a strong roleplay round shows sales skills that a resume can't.
Is this a mock interview with a person?
No. You practice with an AI buyer, not a human interviewer. It suits the roleplay rounds best: sell me this pen, mock cold calls and discovery calls.
Do I need a company to sign up?
No. Choose "Just me" when you set up your account. It is already selected when you sign up from this page.
How much does it cost?
Nothing to start: 250 free credits, about 25 minutes of practice, no card needed. If you want more practice, Starter is $49/mo, billed monthly.
Can I practice on my phone?
Vonvo works in mobile browsers. There is no native app.
