In short
- Lateral runs live, spoken sales roleplays in Russian (Русский) against an AI buyer that greets, pushes back, and negotiates like a native.
- Practice cold calls, discovery, demos, and negotiations in Russian, then get graded the second you hang up on the five things that move a deal.
- Built for reps selling into Russia, Central Asia, and the Russian-speaking diaspora, free while in beta, with unlimited practice.
Reading a script in Russian and holding a live Russian sales call are two different skills. The second one, hearing a real objection out loud and answering it without stalling, only comes from reps. Russian is still the working language across Central Asia, the Caucasus, and large diaspora business communities in Israel, the Baltics, and beyond. Plenty of GTM teams sell into Russian-speaking buyers in those markets even when Russia itself is out of scope. The language carries a distinct, results-first business culture that doesn't translate from a Western script.
What sounds different on a Russian sales call
Russian-speaking buyers are direct and low on small talk, they want substance fast and read excessive warmth as a sales tactic. The formal 'вы' is non-negotiable until you're explicitly invited otherwise, and over-promising kills trust instantly because they'll test your claims. Be precise, be confident, and don't pad.
Это всё хорошо, но какие гарантии? У нас уже был неудачный опыт.
Practice the Russian version until it's as sharp as your first language
Pick what you're selling and the call you want to run, cold outbound, discovery, a demo, a pricing negotiation, a renewal. Set the language to Russian, choose a buyer persona and difficulty, and go live. The buyer speaks Russian, reacts in real time, and changes their mind the way a real prospect does.
The moment you hang up, Lateral grades the call on discovery, objection handling, value articulation, rapport, and next steps, with the exact moments that earned the score. Run it back until the Russian version of the call is as sharp as your first-language one. The same works across 33 languages and every use case.
Frequently asked
Can Lateral run sales roleplays in Russian?
- Yes. You practice live spoken calls in Russian against an AI buyer who's direct, results-first, and skeptical of over-promising, the way Russian-speaking buyers actually negotiate. Grading lands right after the call.
Does it handle the formal 'вы' and a no-small-talk style?
- It does. The buyer holds the formal register and cuts straight to substance, so you can rehearse getting to value fast without the warm-up padding that reads as a sales tactic in Russian.
Do I need to set anything up?
- No. Sign in with your work email, set the language, and you're in a live roleplay in under two minutes. Lateral reads your product and (optionally) your calendar in the background.
How much does it cost?
- Lateral is free while we're in beta, with unlimited practice. No credit card.
