Know what to say when it counts.
Cue is a daily trainer for sales and persuasion. A short lesson teaches one move, then you practice it on a line you really hear: pick your reply, see what it does, and say it out loud.
3 minutes. You get a plan built around your conversations.
“When someone says it's too expensive, I ask what they're comparing it to.”

What you practice
Every conversation that matters has the same 4 moments.
The start, the questions, the pushback and the ask. Cue teaches one move for each. This is what a good reply sounds like.
1. The start
Opening the conversation
“Yeah, who's this?”
“Hi, you asked about our services last week, so I'm calling to see what you need.”
Says who you are and why you're calling, in one sentence.
2. The questions
Finding out what they need
“We're just looking around right now.”
“Makes sense. What got you looking now?”
Finds out why now. That's usually the real need.
3. The pushback
Handling pushback
“It's too expensive.”
“I hear you. What are you comparing it to?”
Finds out what “expensive” means to them before you answer.
4. The ask
Asking for the decision
“This all looks great.”
“Glad to hear it. Should we get you started this week?”
Asks for the decision while they're positive.
Who it's for
You don't have to work in sales.
Every time you pitch an idea or ask for a raise, you're selling. Cue has a track for each, and the quiz picks yours.
If you sell for a living
For your calls, meetings and messages.
You'll have an answer for:
- “I need to think about it.”
- “It's too expensive.”
- “We're happy with what we have.”
Products, services or your own business. Your examples sound like your line of work.
If you sell yourself and your ideas
For interviews, raises and pitching ideas.
You'll have an answer for:
- “There's no budget for that.”
- “Why should we pick you?”
- “We need someone with more experience.”
The same skills, with examples from work. Nobody has to call it selling.
How it works
A plan built around you, then 5 minutes a day.
It runs in your browser, on your phone or your computer. There is nothing to download.
Step 1
Take the 3-minute quiz.
Answer a few questions and try 4 real moments. You'll see your style, where you're strong and the skill to start on.
Step 2
Do one short lesson a day.
About 3 minutes on one skill. A few cards teach one move, then you practice it on a line you really hear.
Step 3
Say it out loud.
Pick your reply, write it, then say it. Cue checks your answer and plays the other person, so the words are ready when it's real.
Why it works
You don't get better at talking by reading.
A book tells you what to say. Cue has you find the words yourself and say them, a little every day, so they are there when someone pushes back.
- One move a lesson, in a few short cards
- You pick a reply and see what each one does
- You write it, then say it out loud

What people say after a few weeks of practice.
I stopped freezing on price.
“When someone says it's too expensive, I ask what they're comparing it to.”
I didn't just say okay.
“When my boss said there was no budget, I asked what would need to happen. We agreed on a date.”
I ask before I pitch now.
“I used to explain the whole product. Now I ask one question first and let them talk.”
I had an answer ready.
“When the interviewer asked why they should pick me, I gave an example instead of saying I'm a hard worker.”
Five minutes before my first call.
“I do my lesson in the car before I start calling. It keeps me sharp.”
I make my point in one sentence.
“I used to over-explain in meetings. Now I say the point first and stop.”

How does a day work?
A short lesson on one skill, about 3 minutes. A few cards teach one move, then you practice it: read what the other person says, pick your reply and see what each choice does, then write it and say it out loud.
I'm shy, or not a natural. Is this for me?
Yes. Your plan starts with short warm-ups for how you feel, like nerves or going blank. And the skills don't need a loud personality: the people who sell the most usually aren't the most outgoing.
I don't work in sales. Is this for me?
Yes. The same skills work in interviews, raises and meetings. If you sell yourself or your ideas, your plan uses examples from work.
I've been selling for years. Will it be too basic?
Your plan starts at your level. You'll sharpen the 12 core skills and spend more time on the hard moments, like holding your price.
Do I need to download anything?
No. It works in your browser, on your phone or your computer, and you can add it to your home screen.
