How it works
ServiceSim is customizable to focus on your industry, scenarios, or product so it helps your agents become experts at handling the exact types of interactions they'll experience working with your customers.
Determine what scenarios you want your agents to practice.
This could be as simple as determining the types of calls that your agents most often get wrong or the types of calls you most often role play in training.
Set up your training scenarios
It just takes a few clicks and a few minutes to set up a scenario. As you go, you can add specifics or change the customer’s mood or attitude—whatever most closely resembles your typical interactions.
Invite your agents
No instruction or training is necessary. We’ve designed ServiceSim to be so intuitive that your agents can login and start practicing right away and you don’t waste a minute of time during training.
ServiceSim Use Cases
ServiceSim transforms your training across three key areas:
1. Product and Service Knowledge
Empower your agents to become experts in your offerings with ServiceSim's robust training modules including making tailored product recommendations, understanding current promotional offers, or staying updated on seasonal events.
2. Process Knowledge
Through interactive simulations, ServiceSim equips your agents with in-depth understanding of your company’s policies, procedures, and order placement processes as well as how to navigate your systems.
3. Soft Skills Mastery
Great customer service goes beyond knowledge—it's about how agents interact with customers. ServiceSim focuses on developing crucial soft skills, including: upselling and cross-selling, empathy and objection handling, de-escalation techniques, and call pivoting.
4. Leadership Development
Equip supervisors with the skills necessary to handle various performance management interactions across a range of associate behaviors and issues ranging from motivating and recognizing associates to conducting thorough and constructive performance reviews. The overarching goal is to ensure that supervisors exhibit a strong understanding of both company and client-specific policies while fostering a productive and supportive work environment.

Common Questions
Does ServiceSim work with voice and chat interactions?
Yes! ServiceSim can type or speak its responses and agents can type or speak in response.
How does the AI know my company's processes?
It doesn’t. ServiceSim only knows the information that a typical customer knows and acts like a typical human. So, for example, it may know that it wants to set up an account and it will know it's name and address, but your agents are responsible for guiding them through the process.
How does ServiceSim match customer-level knowledge, especially if we support a pretty complex product?
We can configure the simulation to respond however it “chooses” to make for more varied and realistic responses and we can also have precise control over particular aspects of the interaction to dictate the customer’s sentiment or to pose very specific and targeted questions. Most importantly, none of this requires much in the way of configuration. Any situation can be set up within ServiceSim either by you or by our team in a matter of minutes.
Does ServiceSim only handle fairly simple interactions?
Not at all. We can make any scenario as complex as your typical interactions are. Think your interactions are just too complex? We hear that a lot. But with a little input from you and some minimal configuration by our team, we think you'll be surprised how accurately the AI can replicate an extremely complex call that matches what your agents will see on the floor.
Can I try out ServiceSim?
Yes! We offer a 14-day free trial so you can test out ServiceSim for you and your agents before you buy.
Are ServiceSim licenses transferable?
Absolutely. We know that not every agent is going to need to train with ServiceSim all the time. So at any point, you can deactivate one user and re-assign that license to another user.
Can the AI have different personalities, like non-technical customers, irate customers, extremely technical customers, or customers who speak different languages?
Absolutely. Determining your customer characteristics is part of our set-up process which is included in the monthly subscription cost. The best way to demonstrate what we mean is to get in touch and have us set up an example for you.
Can I integrate ServiceSim with my existing QA tool or other systems?
We’d be happy to discuss with you what integrations make the most sense, but we designed ServiceSim so it didn’t have to be integrated with anything. That way, it’s very easy to get started and it makes an impact in a hurry.
