How To Become a VeriPlayer

1Tell us about yourself

We learn about your background and experience, then match you to scenarios that fit your expertise. You receive a clear briefing pack with character details, context, and objectives.

2Bring Real-World Scenarios to Life

Join short, flexible live video sessions where you step into character and engage participants in realistic high-stakes conversations. Stay true to the scenario, challenge constructively, and help people grow.

3Share Insights & Get Paid

After each session, you complete a quick feedback form highlighting observations and opportunities for improvement. You get paid for your time and stay sharp by engaging in meaningful business conversations.

What a VeriPlayer does

As a VeriPlayer, you’ll take part in live, one-to-one role plays that simulate high-stakes business conversations. These might include customer meetings, investor pitches, stakeholder discussions, or board-level presentations, depending on the programme you’re involved in.

Your role is to bring authenticity, curiosity, and challenge to each conversation; helping participants think, react, and perform as they would in the real world, all through you just being yourself.

You will:
Step into a clearly defined character — a founder, investor, customer, or senior stakeholder, but always a character aligned to your real experience.
Take part in a short series of live video calls (usually 30–60 minutes each).
Play out realistic conversations, staying true to the scenario.
Provide quick, structured feedback after each call via an easy online form.

How it works

We support you throughout the process, from onboarding to scheduling to debrief.

We make the process simple and flexible around your schedule. You’ll share your availability with our team, and we’ll handle all bookings, invites, and reminders for you.

You’ll receive a briefing pack with a detailed overview of your character, the business, and the situation. You’ll also be given a dedicated role-based inbox so you can exchange messages naturally as your character.

When it’s show-time, you’ll join the call, step into character, and bring the scenario to life.

After each call, you’ll complete a short online feedback form to provide your insights on performance.

    Frequently asked questions

    Explore our FAQs for quick answers to your questions
    Do I need acting experience to become a VeriPlayer?

    No, VeriPlayers are experienced business professionals, and unlike our competitors, we don’t hire actors, although if you starred in a school play as a kid, we won’t hold it against you! What matters is your ability to communicate naturally, read situations, and provide honest feedback.

    How flexible is the commitment?

    We design VeriPlayer work to fit around experienced professionals’ existing commitments. You are not expected to block out fixed days each week or commit to rigid schedules.

    That said, sessions take place during normal business hours because they are simulating real senior commercial conversations. You’ll need to be available during the working day for calls to be scheduled.

    We handle the logistics for you. A dedicated VeriPlayer Coordinator manages bookings, changes and any issues, so you’re not chasing calendars or dealing with admin. You simply confirm your availability and focus on delivering a great session.

    Will I receive training or guidance before sessions?

    Yes. You are never “thrown in cold”. Before you take part in any session, you’ll receive a clear briefing on:

    • The scenario and the role you’re playing
    • The commercial context and objectives
    • The level of challenge and realism we’re aiming for
    • How the session is structured and how feedback works

    We’re not trying to turn you into an actor. We’re relying on your real experience. The guidance is there to make sure you understand the purpose of the exercise and can play your role in a way that is both realistic and constructive.

    Over time, most VeriPlayers find they develop their own rhythm and style within the framework.

    How hard do I need to make it?

    It’s intentionally demanding, but in a professional, adult way.You’ll be simulating senior, high-stakes commercial conversations with people who are stretching themselves. The role is to be:

    • Credible
    • Commercially sharp
    • Challenging when appropriate
    • And realistic at all times

    You’re not there to “catch people out” or to perform. You’re there to behave like a serious buyer, investor, or stakeholder would in the real world.

    Most VeriPlayers find the work stimulating rather than stressful. It’s a chance to use your judgement, experience and instincts — not to memorise scripts or perform theatrics.

    If anything, the bar is high because the work is meant to be real.
