Quick answer

Use ChatGPT Voice or Claude voice mode to role-play a customer who pushes back on price, then ask for a written recap. Both help centers describe spoken conversations. The score is the assistant's opinion, not a measure.

Typical cost
ChatGPT Voice limits vary by plan, and Claude voice mode is listed for all plans. Prices: Not stated in sources.

Basis (estimate): Estimate only: based on the steps above, not timed.

What does this setup do?

Rehearse a price objection out loud with an AI playing the customer, then get a short recap with two things to say differently next time.

Who is it for?

Owners and sales staff who freeze when a customer says the price is too high. Use made-up customer details. Do not paste real client names or private information into a chatbot.

How do you set it up?

Tools

  • ChatGPT with Voice, or Claude with voice mode
  • A quiet spot and a headset or phone
  • Your real price and what the price includes

Steps

  1. Write down the situation: what you sell, your price, and the objection you dread, such as 'your quote is higher than the other one'.
  2. Open ChatGPT and start Voice. OpenAI says options such as Live, Advanced and Standard are under Settings, then Voice, and depend on your plan, region and app version. Or open Claude, start a chat and tap the sound wave symbol. Anthropic says voice mode is a beta feature.
  3. Paste the setup prompt below first as text, so the assistant plays the customer and stays in the role.
  4. Run the call for five minutes. Answer out loud as you would on a real call.
  5. Say 'stop and recap'. Read the written recap on screen. OpenAI notes ChatGPT can make mistakes, so treat the notes as ideas, not a verdict.
  6. Pick one thing to change and run the same objection again. Compare how it felt.
  7. Do this once a week for the objections that cost you jobs.

Example output

Illustrative. Your results will differ.

  • Did well: named the value before the price
  • Say differently: ask what the other quote includes
  • Line to try: 'Can I show you what the lower quote leaves out?'

Where to paste this prompt

ChatGPT → Project instructions, or ChatGPT Tasks for scheduled reminders (once a day on Free)

Copy-paste prompt

Adapt bracketed fields to your situation.

Play a customer for a practice sales call. I will speak my answers.

What I sell: [PRODUCT OR SERVICE]
My price: [PRICE AND WHAT IT INCLUDES]
The customer: [A MADE-UP PERSON, for example: a homeowner comparing two quotes]
The objection: [for example: your price is higher than the other quote]

Rules:
- Stay in character. Be polite but push back twice before you agree to anything.
- Do not make up facts about my business. If I say something you cannot judge, ask me a question.
- Keep each turn to two or three sentences.
- When I say 'stop and recap', leave the role and write: what I did well (two points), what to say differently (two points), and one line I could use next time.
- Do not score me out of 10. Give notes only.

What usually goes wrong?

Where agents tend to stall on this job. More patterns in Where AI gets stuck.

  • The AI customer agrees too fast. Tell it to push back twice.
  • Advice that sounds smooth but is wrong for your trade. Check it against your own experience.
  • Pasting real customer details. Use a made-up person.

Which chat tools work with this prompt?

Paste the prompt into any of these assistants (free or paid tiers).

  • ChatGPT Voice
  • Claude voice mode

Common questions

Does ChatGPT or Claude have voice conversations?
Yes. OpenAI describes ChatGPT Voice as spoken conversation, and Anthropic describes Claude voice mode as a beta feature on all plans.
Can the AI score my call?
It can give notes, and OpenAI warns ChatGPT can make mistakes. Treat notes as ideas, not a score.
Is it safe to use real customer details?
Use a made-up customer instead. Do not paste private information into a chatbot.

What tips make it smoother?

  • Use a made-up customer. It keeps real names and private details out of the chat.
  • Anthropic says voice mode can use web search and connected tools, so turn off connections you do not need for this.
  • Practice the same objection until the first sentence comes easily.
