Real skill develops through repetition, coaching, and feedback. That's deliberate practice - and it's exactly what most training is missing.

Why Training Doesn't Stick

Companies improve when they train. They excel when they practice.

Companies spend real money sending people to training. Then everyone goes back to the day-to-day, and none of it gets reinforced. So it fades. The SOLVE Platform™ is the reinforcement most teams are missing: a dashboard where your people practice every day, built around what your company actually needs. The skills from training don't fade - they compound.

This isn't a one-time course. It's an ongoing academy that keeps every person on the team improving. Training starts improvement. Practice delivers results.

Not Comfortable Role-Playing Out Loud? Good. You Don't Have To.

Finally: a fun, effective way to train that doesn't put anyone on the spot.

If your team dreads daily role-play in front of each other, this is the fix. Train in text mode, quiet, private, just like real online discovery conversations, or switch to voice mode for a real spoken conversation, just like a real phone call or an in-person meeting. Same SOLVE Framework, two ways to practice it, zero pressure.

Text Mode

Practice quietly, at your own pace. Type your discovery questions and responses just like you would in a real chat-based discovery conversation, no one watching, no pressure to perform out loud.

Voice Mode

Ready for the real thing? Switch to a live spoken conversation with the AI customer, just like an actual phone call or sitting across the table in person.

Train Anywhere, Anytime

In the car on the way to work. At your desk between calls. At home after dinner. Practice during slow times instead of scrambling during busy ones - the SOLVE Framework trains around your schedule, not the other way around.

This is the SOLVE Framework, the new, genuinely fun and effective way to train and become a top-level consultant in any field. Pass the certification exam and earn your official SOLVE Framework Certification and certificate, ready to frame on your wall or add straight to your resume.

Portrait of Wade Skrimager, creator of the SOLVE Framework

Created by Wade Skrimager

30+ years helping people across automotive, financial services, real estate, home improvement, and leadership development make better decisions. Based on the books Stop Selling. Start Solving. and Uncommon CENTS.

The Method

The SOLVE Framework™

A five-step, consultative approach to discovery and leadership that replaces pressure with trust - the foundation for every Conversation inside the SOLVE Platform™, and for both books.

S

Situation

Understand the situation before you say a word. Who is this person, why are they here, and what is really going on beneath the request?

O

Open with Questions

Lead with curiosity, not a pitch. The first move is a question, not a presentation.

L

Listen for the Outcome

Hear the future they are actually trying to reach. The product is never the point; the outcome is.

V

Visualize Success

Help them picture what "solved" looks like, turning it into a shared goal that prioritizes their needs and wants, so the decision feels clear instead of risky.

E

Engineer the Solution

Build the answer around them, even when the honest answer isn't you. That is what earns trust for life.

Why SOLVE Is Different

Every AI can simulate a conversation. SOLVE teaches you how to think during one.

Instead of memorizing scripts or drilling objection handling, professionals learn how to genuinely understand the person in front of them, so the right solution becomes obvious to everyone.

Most practice tools measure whether you followed a script. SOLVE measures whether you actually understood the person you were talking to. At each step, the goal isn't compliance with a checklist, it's genuine comprehension: grasping the real situation before offering anything, surfacing the motivations behind the request, confirming the outcome they're actually after, helping them picture what "solved" looks like, and only then building a solution they can move forward on with confidence.

That shift, from reciting the right words to doing the right thinking, is what separates SOLVE from a script or a chatbot drill. The result is better conversations, stronger relationships, and more confident decisions. Because great consultants don't overcome objections, they reduce the need for them.

The Best Discovery Practice on the Market

Practice the Framework. Get Certified.

The SOLVE Platform™ puts you inside realistic, AI-powered discovery conversations across dozens of real-world conversations, with instant, rubric-based feedback from SOLVE Coach™ so every rep gets sharper every time. Work through the SOLVE Academy™ certification track across three levels of difficulty and you earn SOLVE Framework Certification.

SOLVE Academy Beginner Level Badge

For Team Managers

Certified reps don't have to ask for referrals. Clients just give them.

Every manager reminds their team to ask for referrals, because most reps never earned the right to skip the ask. SOLVE Framework Certification is proof your consultant can qualify and solve nearly every customer's real need, not just close the deal in front of them. When someone genuinely feels solved for, they don't wait to be asked. They refer people on their own.

Get your whole team certified and you're not managing a group of closers anymore - you're running a team clients actively recommend.

  • Your reps build real conversational instincts in live discovery conversations with an AI customer
  • Every session comes back scored by SOLVE Coach against the same five-step SOLVE rubric from the books, so reps know exactly what to fix
  • Onboard consistently whether you're a single team or 1,000+ professionals
  • Know who's ready before you turn them loose on customers, with the SOLVE Platform manager dashboard

New: A Second Track On The Same Platform

SOLVE Leadership™: Conflict Management & Resolution

Every business eventually has an upset customer, a frustrated client, or a conflict between two people on the same team. SOLVE Leadership takes the exact same five-step method (listen with empathy, open with questions, visualize what success looks like, and engineer a solution that doesn't blame anyone) and applies it to the conversations no one wants to have. Same SOLVE Platform™, same scoring, same certification path. A second option right alongside Consultation & Discovery.

Consultation & Discovery

Every existing discovery vertical: manufactured housing, real estate, auto, HVAC, plumbing, financial, insurance, and more.

New

Leadership / Conflict Management

Upset customer & client service, employee grievances, and peer-to-peer team conflict, practiced the same way, scored the same way.

Upset Customer & Client Service

The most universal Conversation in business: a customer or client who is unhappy, upset, or considering walking away. Practice de-escalating before it ever reaches a manager or a bad review.

Employee Grievances

Manager-to-employee disputes, complaints, and performance pushback, practiced with the same empathy-first method, so leadership handles internal conflict as well as they handle external conflict.

Peer-to-Peer Team Conflict

Coworkers and departments don't always agree. Train managers and team leads to mediate without picking a side or letting it fester.

Pass all three levels and earn SOLVE Conflict Management Certified, a distinct, resume-ready credential from your SOLVE Framework Certification, proving you can walk into any difficult conversation and leave it solved instead of escalated.

Included with every consultant seat, no separate purchase required. Switch between Consultation & Discovery and Leadership conversations anytime.

About the Author

Wade Skrimager

Creator of the SOLVE Framework™

Wade Skrimager is the creator of the SOLVE Framework™, a practical methodology and AI-powered learning platform built to help professionals become better at helping people make better decisions.

Over the past three decades, Wade has worked with businesses, leaders, consultants, and customer-facing professionals across multiple industries. Through thousands of conversations, one truth became impossible to ignore:

Companies don’t improve because they train. They improve because they practice.

Like millions of professionals, Wade invested years, and thousands of dollars, in sales training, leadership development, and professional education. The ideas were valuable, but there was always one critical problem.

There was nowhere to practice.

Once the seminar ended, everyone returned to work. Managers became busy. Employees slipped back into old habits. The only place left to practice was in front of real customers.

And that’s the most expensive place to practice.

Every missed opportunity, every poor discovery conversation, every unresolved conflict, and every customer who chooses a competitor is often the result of one simple problem: people were never given a safe place to practice before the conversation mattered.

That realization became the foundation of the SOLVE Framework™.

Today, the SOLVE Framework combines proven consultative communication principles with AI-powered role-play, coaching, certification, manager dashboards, and performance analytics to help organizations build confidence before employees ever interact with a real customer.

But Wade’s vision extends far beyond sales.

The SOLVE Framework™ Series explores the conversations that define successful organizations, from consultative selling and customer experience to leadership, conflict resolution, and building cultures centered around trust.

Current titles include:

  • Stop Selling. Start Solving.
  • Uncommon CENTS
  • Stay CALM and RESOLVE (Conflict Resolution Tactics That Work)

Each book is supported by the SOLVE Academy™, SOLVE AI Coach™, and the SOLVE Platform™, giving professionals a place to learn, practice, measure, and continuously improve.

Because technology can provide information.
Artificial intelligence can provide insight.
But only people can build trust.

And helping people make better decisions will always be one of the most valuable skills a professional can develop.
