At Force Management, we’ve partnered with over 140 of these elite companies.

What Is a Sales Role Play? Sales role play is a simulated sales conversation designed to prepare reps for real customer interactions. It allows salespeople to rehearse key parts of the conversation (like discovery, objection handling, or negotiation) before stepping into a live selling situation. Role playing helps identify gaps in preparation, test out messaging, and gain feedback in a risk-free setting. When implemented correctly, it's one of the most powerful tools for improving sales execution, confidence, and agility.

Great sales leaders know how to make the number, but the ability to do that consistently requires more than just great sales skills. The best revenue leaders understand the critical need to equip individuals with the proper tools for revenue success and drive organizational outcomes. A great sales leader understands the importance of a structured sales discipline while reinforcing methodologies that drive measurable results. Veteran Sales Leader and Current Shopify Chief Revenue Officer Bobby Morrison recently joined the Revenue Builders podcast with John Kaplan and John McMahon to talk through his lessons learned and his blueprint for great sales leadership. Morrison knows how to grow and scale companies; from his sales leadership roles at Verizon, where his leadership helped drive $8.3B in revenue, and at Microsoft, where his segment increased revenue from $15B to $25B. Now, at Shopify, he’s led their shift upmarket to an aggressive 30% revenue growth rate in Q1 of this year.
