The training ground for closers

Every great closer trained somewhere first.

The Sales Ludus is a live sparring ground for salespeople. You get realistic prospects who push back like the real thing, honest scorecards on every round, and a playbook built from the field, not a textbook.

Doctore is ready to teach you how to sell.

LVDVSlū·dus · the training ground

In Rome, fighters didn't learn in the arena. They trained in the ludus, drilling the same moves thousands of times under a master called the doctore. The arena never forgave a first attempt. Neither does a live prospect. So we built the ludus.

The Method

Two kinds of knowledge. One training ground.

Most sales training gives you theory or war stories. The Ludus gives you both, and makes you prove it on a live call.

I · The Craft

Technical sales fundamentals

A complete move set covering all four phases of a sales conversation, each with a name, a purpose, and a time to use it.

  • Openers that earn the next thirty seconds
  • Discovery that finds the gap they won't volunteer
  • Objection handling that bends instead of fights
  • Closes that lock a real next step
II · The Street

Real-world conversion playbook

Built from the actual calls, stories, and objections of a producer who converts on the hardest leads in the business: aggregated internet leads.

  • Real client stories, told the way they land
  • Objections your team hears this week, fed back in
  • Proven lines from a live pipeline, not a script book
  • Compliance instincts built into every round
How It Works

Step in. Spar. Get sharper every round.

I

Pick your lane

Choose the kind of call you want to get better at. The prospect and scenario stay hidden, just like real life.

II

Take the call

Type or talk. The prospect answers out loud, follows the conversation, and makes you earn every inch.

III

Get the scorecard

Open, Discover, Handle, Close, scored out of 20, with the moves you used, your standout lines, and where it slipped.

IV

Hit the cage

Your weakest moment replays until you nail it. Same line, new swing, instant feedback.

Lane I

Sphere & Database

Past clients and warm contacts, where the win is in the follow-up nobody else makes.

Lane II

Referral Partners

The partners who already "have a guy." Earn the meeting without giving away the store.

Lane III

Direct to Consumer

Internet leads and cold calls. Thirty seconds to earn trust from someone who didn't ask to hear from you.

The Move Set

Named moves. Drilled until they're reflex.

Every round is graded against a real playbook, so feedback points to a move you can practice, not a vague "be more confident."

Inside the Ludus

Everything a salesperson needs between real calls.

Talk mode

Speak your side of the call and hear the prospect answer in a lifelike voice. It's as close to the phone as practice gets.

Training Wheels

A choose-your-path walkthrough for new reps. It catches you before the cliff and explains the move behind each choice.

Standard & Hard

Warm up with prospects who give you a chance, then face the ones who stall, deflect, and hang up on pushy lines.

Field objections

Reps submit what they're hearing this week. The best ones get worked into live calls for the whole team.

Compliance built in

Real-world guardrails in every round, tuned to each field. The hard lines stop the call, and the gray areas get a friendly nudge, never a lecture.

Coach's highlight reel

The coach sees every rep's progress, and the best lines of the month rise to the top for team meetings.

Arenas

One training ground. Built for your field.

Every field has its own products, its own objections, and its own lines you can't cross. Each arena carries that nuance, built on the same Ludus method.
