How a rep works

  1. 1Pick a buyer and the objection you want to drill.
  2. 2Hold the mic button and pitch, discover or reframe out loud.
  3. 3The avatar answers in character — and rarely gives in easily.
  4. 4Every turn gets a score, a technique label and one coaching line.

Choose your buyer

Each avatar has its own agenda, vocabulary and tolerance for fluff.

The four objection modules

Cost & budget

"It's too expensive / there's no budget this year."

Price pushback, budget freezes, and demands to justify spend against other security line items.

  • Reframe from price to cost of an undetected control failure.
  • Anchor on breach cost, audit findings, and wasted spend on underperforming tools.
  • Ask what budget cycle and what business outcome would unlock funding.

We can do this with existing tools

"Our EDR/SIEM vendor already tells us we're covered."

The buyer believes their current stack, pen tests, or vendor dashboards already validate their controls.

  • Separate 'deployed' from 'proven effective' — vendors grade their own homework.
  • Use the difference between point-in-time pen testing and continuous validation.
  • Ask what evidence they currently show the board that controls actually work.

Redundancy / overlap concerns

"This overlaps with our BAS, pen test and vuln management."

Concern about tool sprawl, overlapping licences, and one more console for the team to manage.

  • Map where Cymulate sits: validation layer above detection and vuln tooling.
  • Show consolidation upside — retire or right-size overlapping spend.
  • Quantify analyst hours saved instead of arguing feature-by-feature.

Do nothing / build in-house

"We'll script this ourselves" or "let's revisit next year."

Status quo bias, internal red team ambitions, and homegrown automation projects.

  • Price the in-house option: engineer hours, threat research, maintenance drift.
  • Create urgency with regulatory timelines and threat velocity, not fear.
  • Agree a small, time-boxed proof of value with a measurable success metric.
