How to Practice a Call Blitz

Once a Call Blitz has been created, your team can launch it to experience rapid-fire practice sessions powered by multiple AI roleplay agents. Running a Blitz simulates the real-world pressure of back-to-back calls, helping reps think faster, adapt quickly, and strengthen core selling skills through continuous repetition.

This article explains how a Blitz session works, what learners see, and how the adaptive AI creates a realistic training experience.


What Happens During a Call Blitz

When a learner starts a Blitz:

  • They enter a high-tempo practice environment
  • Roleplay agents appear back-to-back in a preset sequence
  • The system simulates real call dynamics using pickup rate logic
  • Each call lasts only within the defined practice window
  • Learners receive feedback after each interaction
  • Skill reinforcement occurs through repeated cycles
  • A Blitz is designed to mimic real-life rhythm and stress—where quick thinking and adaptability matter.

Experience Overview

A live Blitz session includes:

  • A lineup of all roleplay agents included in the Blitz
  • A countdown timer showing how much time remains
  • Call-by-call transitions with no manual setup needed
  • Pickup simulation based on your Blitz settings
  • Instant feedback loops to guide improvement

The ability to restart or repeat the Blitz based on your program rules

This makes every session predictable in structure but varied in experience.


How to Run a Call Blitz

Step 1 — Launch Your Assigned Blitz

Learners navigate to their Blitz list and choose the one they want to start.

They will see:

  • Blitz title
  • Description
  • Duration
  • Included agents
  • Instructions

Click Start Blitz to begin.


Step 2 — Review Instructions for Agent #1

Before the first call begins, the learner sees:

  • The roleplay agent’s name
  • Scenario context
  • Key instructions
  • The call type (cold call, discovery, demo, etc.)

Click Start Call to initiate the first conversation.

 


Step 3 — The Call Connects (Based on Pickup Rate)

Outdoo simulates real outbound behavior:

  • High pickup rate = the agent answers quickly
  • Low pickup rate = delayed or occasional connection

This makes the session feel like a true outbound calling experience.

 


Step 4 — Move Through Agents Back-to-Back

After finishing one call:

  • The next agent appears instantly
  • No manual setup or loading required
  • Each call fits within the overall Blitz duration

Learners repeat this process until they complete all agents or the practice window ends.


Step 5 — Receive Feedback

After each call, reps may receive:

  • Skill scoring (based on the assigned scorecard)
  • Strengths and improvement areas
  • Insights on discovery, objections, tone, rapport, and more
  • Feedback helps reinforce good habits and correct weak points.

Why Running a Blitz Matters

Running a Blitz supports powerful skill development through:

Continuous Reinforcement

Short, repeated practice sessions build muscle memory.

High-Tempo Learning

Back-to-back calls improve quick thinking and adaptability.

Realistic Pressure Simulation

Pickup rates and agent diversity make every session feel authentic.

Consistent, Scalable Coaching

AI coaching replaces the need for manually scheduled roleplays.

Improved Team Readiness

Perfect for:

  • Cold call warm-ups
  • Daily skill sharpening
  • Objection handling practice
  • Discovery questioning drills
  • New hire ramp
  • Sales bootcamps

Blitz runs are one of the most effective ways to keep reps sharp.


Common Questions

QuestionAnswer
Can learners repeat a Blitz?Yes, repeats can be allowed based on how the Blitz was configured.
What if the learner runs out of time?The Blitz ends, and their progress is recorded.
Are all calls scored?Only if scorecards were added to the agents.
Does agent order matter?Yes—the sequence is defined during Blitz creation.
Can reps pause a Blitz?Pausing is not recommended due to the rapid-fire structure.
