How much does a bad sales hire cost?

A bad sales hire typically costs between $130,000 to $250,000+ when you factor in base salary, benefits, training costs, lost opportunities, and the time to recruit a replacement. For enterprise sales roles, this number can exceed $500,000.

How does Miki assess sales candidates?

Miki uses AI-powered simulations where candidates engage in realistic sales conversations with AI personas that match your actual buyers. Candidates are scored on discovery skills, objection handling, rapport building, and closing ability.

How is Miki different from personality tests?

Unlike personality tests that measure traits, Miki measures actual sales skills in action. Candidates demonstrate their abilities in realistic scenarios rather than answering abstract questions. This provides direct evidence of how they'll perform on the job.

Hi, thanks for reaching out. You mentioned something about helping sales teams ramp faster?

Thanks for making time, Sarah. Before I dive in — what does ramp time look like for your team today?

About 6 months on average. By the time they're productive, half have churned. It's expensive.

Resumes lie. Interviews miss the mark.

Every sales leader has hired someone who interviewed like a star and performed like a dud. Traditional hiring methods simply can't predict who will actually close deals.

Questions you might have

"Will candidates find AI conversations realistic?"

Yes. Our AI personas are built to behave like real buyers — they ask clarifying questions, push back on weak pitches, and respond naturally. Candidates often forget they're talking to AI within the first few exchanges.

"What if great candidates hate assessments?"

Top salespeople want to prove themselves. They'd rather show their skills in action than answer abstract personality questions. A 20-minute simulation beats a 2-hour interview panel any day.

"How accurate is the AI scoring?"

Miki evaluates observable behaviors — discovery questions, objection responses, rapport signals — not vague traits. You also get full transcripts to validate scores with your own judgment.

"Can I customize the scenarios for my industry?"

Absolutely. You define the buyer persona, their pain points, objections, and buying criteria. Candidates face scenarios that mirror your actual sales conversations.

Simple pricing. Unlimited value.

One bad hire costs $250K. One month of Miki costs $500.
