Every game includes clear instructions, target skills, and ready-made Plug & Play scenarios so you can run a session with zero prep. Bonus video insights are built in throughout via QR code.

The science behind the play
"Even modest increases in training across all members of an office can meaningfully enhance a team's knowledge about the firm's offerings, yielding a meaningful increase in recommendations to clients, and in turn, in sales."
— Buell, Cai & Sandino, Harvard Business School
Andrei Aurora, author of 37 Sales Games

Andrei Aurora

Andrei Aurora brings a genuinely unique perspective to sales training: he's both a professional actor and a sales leader with nearly two decades of experience. That combination — performance craft meets revenue expertise — is the engine behind every game in this book.

Andrei has spent his career leading high-performing B2C and B2B sales teams across industries, specializing in creating training environments that are both engaging and actually effective. 37 Sales Games is the distillation of everything he's learned about how people really develop sales skills — not by listening, but by doing.

This book was born from a simple observation: actors learn by rehearsing on their feet. Salespeople should too.
