Can I try this scenario before signing up?

Yes. The preview on this page runs the real scenario by voice in your browser for up to five minutes. After the call, you get scored feedback, and a work email is what starts the session.

How do you respond when a member says they’re too busy to use the program?

Treat “too busy” as the start of the conversation, not the full explanation. A good response acknowledges the schedule problem, asks what has been hardest to use, and checks whether the bigger issue is results, cost, or fit before you suggest any way to continue.

What if the cancellation request is really about cost?

Do not dodge it. If the membership feels underused, cost and value usually show up together. Say that directly, reflect what they are not getting from the program right now, and only then offer a smaller, more realistic path that matches their current routine.

Your brief

Wellness & performanceVoice · ~5 minScored: Percentage

You’re speaking with Marcus, a member who says he wants to cancel his wellness membership because he’s busy and unsure it’s working for him. In this conversation, your job is to understand what is really behind his decision and respond in a way that feels honest rather than sales-driven. The conversation matters because Marcus may still be open to staying if he feels heard and sees a realistic path forward. Your goal is to rebuild enough value and clarity that he can make an informed decision about continuing.

Why it's hard

Cancellation calls go sideways when “I’m busy” is really shorthand for “this isn’t worth what I’m paying.” If you jump into saving the account, Marcus hears a pitch; if you cancel too quickly, you miss the small opening where he might finally say what feels underused or disappointing.

Cost and usage are tangled
He expects a retention pitch

What good looks like

Keep your tone steady and don’t argue with the cancellation request, even if Marcus sounds blunt.
Name the letdown plainly: he’s busy, not using the membership enough, and questioning whether it’s worth the cost.
Ask a few focused questions so you can get past “I want to cancel” and uncover what is actually not working for him.
Reflect his main concern back in simple language, then connect the membership to his goals or current schedule in a way that sounds believable.
Offer one realistic next step, such as a simpler way to engage, an adjusted plan, or a clear follow-up conversation, so staying feels possible not pressured.

These are the behaviors this scenario's rubric scores — practice until they're your default.
