Everyone reviews the call afterwards. Nobody rehearses it first.
Your recordings get scored, your pipeline gets reviewed, and none of it happens until the deal has already moved. This is the other half — practice before the call, on your own time, with a prospect who pushes back and nobody watching.
Not an enablement tool. Nothing is scored, reported, or shared with your manager.

Not practising doesn’t save you anything.
The ticket, the evening, the weeks of applying — all of it is spent before anyone says a word. The practice is the only cheap part, and the only part that changes how the rest goes.
