Points To Highlight
When presenting Ray-Ban AI Glasses, focus on the experience and benefits that shine through in everyday use, including:
Camera, Audio, and Meta AI
A built-in camera, open-ear audio, and Meta AI support hands-free capture, listening, calling, and voice interaction throughout the day.
More Shapes, Broader Style Appeal
With iconic shapes like Wayfarer and Aviator, and Zena bringing a softer, more feminine aesthetic, the range appeals to an even wider audience.
Multiple Needs in One Pair
Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) enables listening, calling, and interacting with Meta AI throughout the day, bringing multiple daily needs into a single device.
Built for All-Day Wear
From morning to evening, lightweight design and comfort-enhancing features make these Ray-Ban AI Glasses easy to wear as part of a natural routine.
Sales Flow
Open the Conversation
Ask: "What do you usually find yourself using your phone for when you're out and about?" (Pause and listen.)
Introduce the eyewear: "With Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3), you can take photos and videos, listen to music, make calls, and interact with Meta AI — all hands-free, right from your glasses."
Show the Benefits
Start with hands-free use: "You can take photos, record videos, listen, call, and interact with AI, all without reaching for your phone." (Let the customer try the glasses on.)
Lead with capture: "You mentioned wanting to capture moments as they happen. The built-in camera makes that easy, even when your hands are busy or your phone is out of reach."
Bring in audio and comfort: "Open-ear audio lets you listen while staying aware of your surroundings, and the lightweight, slim frame keeps them comfortable throughout the day."
Make it personal: "Based on what you've told me, I think this is a feature you'd really appreciate. Let me show you how it works."
Then guide them to the right use case and offer a demo so they can experience it firsthand.
Adapt to the Customer
- Interested in style first? Start with design, then introduce capture, audio, and Meta AI built into the frame.
- Capture moments often? Focus on hands-free photos and videos.
- Using multiple devices? Explain how everything is covered in one pair, without needing separate devices.
- Looking for all-day use? Highlight the lightweight frame and long-lasting comfort.
Key idea: From daily routines to more spontaneous moments, Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) supports wearers throughout the day in ways that feel useful and natural.
Respond in These Moments
- If a customer asks, "What makes these different from regular glasses?" → Respond: "They look and feel like everyday glasses, but they let you capture, listen, and interact with Meta AI, all hands-free."
- If they ask, "Why would I use these instead of my phone and earbuds?" → Respond: "Because they bring more into one pair, so there's less to carry, switch, or reach for throughout the day."
