Muntri's Cold Call Challenge is a free AI cold call simulator: you make a 3-minute cold call, by voice or text, to an AI buyer who objects and stalls like a real prospect. Every call is scored 0 to 100 on your opener, discovery, objection handling and next-step ask, with coaching that quotes the lines you actually said. Your first call needs no signup, and you get 3 free calls a week.
What you get
- A live AI buyer. Pick an industry and a difficulty. Every buyer has a company, a personality and the objections they always use. They pick up busy and guarded, and you have to earn the next 30 seconds.
- Three minutes, out loud. The call runs by live voice in your browser, or by text chat if your mic is busy. Nothing to install.
- A scorecard from 0 to 100. Scored on four skills: opener, discovery, objection handling and the next-step ask.
- Coaching on your own words. The feedback quotes the exact lines you said and what would have worked better. The call itself stays private.
- 3 free calls a week. Your first call needs no signup.
- Weekly leaderboards. Share your score, challenge a teammate and climb the global, industry and company boards. Display names only.
How scoring works
Every call is scored against the same four-part rubric, and the overall score from 0 to 100 is computed from fixed weights, so scores on the leaderboard compare like with like.
| Skill | What it measures | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Opener | Earns the next 30 seconds: a clear, specific reason for the call tied to the buyer, no generic pitch | 20 |
| Discovery | Asks sharp, relevant questions and listens; uncovers a real problem before pitching | 25 |
| Objection handling | Acknowledges pushback, stays calm, answers or reframes without caving or arguing | 25 |
| Next-step ask | Asks clearly for a meeting with a specific day and time; books it if earned | 30 |
The ask carries the most weight because it is the point of a cold call. A friendly conversation that ends with "I'll send you some info" scores lower than a shorter call that books a specific time. For more on each skill, see the guides on openers, discovery questions, objections and booking the meeting.
Industries
Pick a buyer from the kind of sales floor you work on, or the one you want to join. Each industry version has its own buyers and the objections they really use.
How a practice call goes
- Pick a buyer. Choose an industry and a difficulty.
- Make the call. The buyer picks up. Open, find a real problem, handle the pushback and ask for a time. You have three minutes.
- Get scored. See your score on each of the four skills, with coaching on the exact lines you said. Share it or try again.
Who it is for
SDRs and BDRs
Warm up before a calling block, or drill the one objection that keeps ending your calls. Three minutes is short enough to fit between dials.
Account executives
AEs prospect too, and a lot of them do it less often than they did as SDRs. Practice the opener and the ask before outbound days, especially in a new segment.
New hires
Make your first rough calls against an AI buyer instead of a real prospect. The scorecard shows which of the four skills to work on first.
Job seekers
Interviews for sales roles often include a mock cold call. Practice one out loud, get scored, and walk in having already handled the objections.
Enablement leaders and sales managers
Have a new cohort each take the challenge and compare skill scores, so coaching starts with the weakest skill instead of a guess. For a team, the Practice Arena is $299 a month flat for up to 10 reps, with a private team leaderboard, scenarios about your product and readiness for the manager.
