How can I use AI to practice sales calls and coach myself when I have never sold before?

Two loops make first-time founders dangerous fast: roleplay before the call, and review after it. AI roleplay bots (Hyperbound, or a well-prompted ChatGPT persona) let you rehearse discovery and objections without burning real prospects, and feeding your recorded calls back through AI shows you your talk ratio, missed questions, and weak answers. Pair the practice with the YC sales talks so you are drilling the right fundamentals, not just getting fluent at bad habits.

A quick orientation. The real value is below: resources worth your time, from people who've actually done it.
