Description: This interactive training prototype engages users on a single aspect of Consultative Selling: Questioning strategies. It applies principles of interaction design to create an authentic learning experience that allows learners to engage in a simulated sales call, interact with characters, choose between multiple paths and outcomes, and get personalized feedback on performance.

Examples:

Example 1: Providing Guidance
Learners observe a simulated sales call (with audio dialog) then answer quiz questions to determine if open-ended questions were used effectively.

Example 2: Practice with Feedback
Learners practice leading a simulated sales call where they choose between weak and strong questioning strategies, and receive automatic, personalized feedback.
