How Intuit Won Four Brandon Hall Awards for Sales Enablement with AI Roleplays

Intuit’s Global Sales Enablement team won four 2026 Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards for programs that change how people sell and lead. Yoodli’s AI roleplays power the practice inside those programs.

The four awards:

• Gold, Learning & Development Strategy
• Gold, Leadership Development
• Silver, Talent Management
• Silver, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Congratulations to Sara Kwan, Director of Global Sales Enablement at Intuit, and her team: Whitney Sieck, Ashton Harvey, Alex Dillon, and Delisa Perez, who poured her heart into the submissions. Wins in strategy, leadership, talent, and DEI show an enablement function whose reach goes well beyond training.

• Recognition: Four 2026 Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards (two Gold, two Silver)

What the Brandon Hall Awards Mean for Sales Enablement

The Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards are among the most respected honors in human capital management. Independent panels of industry experts judge them. Winning in four separate categories signals a team that has moved well past reactive training support.

When she announced the wins, Sara was direct that the awards aren’t the point:

"“The real success isn’t these awards (though they’re incredible validation). It’s that our programs are actually changing how people sell, lead, and grow.”
— Sara Kwan, Director, Global Sales Enablement, Intuit"

Every enablement team should be judged against that standard, and it’s what makes Intuit’s programs stand out.

AI Fluency as a Sales Enablement Strategy

Intuit’s enablement philosophy starts from a view Sara has shared publicly: AI fluency is no longer optional for sales leaders. The best leaders know where AI makes them faster and sharper, and where the call needs human judgment. Her team pairs that AI fluency with durable systems so managers can scale without burning out.

How Intuit Uses AI Roleplays for Sales Training

Yoodli’s AI roleplays are the practice layer inside Intuit’s programs. Sellers and leaders don’t learn by watching. They rehearse real conversations with Yoodli’s AI roleplay platform in realistic, low-stakes scenarios and get personalized feedback as soon as they finish. That footprint keeps growing:

"“The part you play in these programs is only getting bigger and bigger as adoption continues to grow!”
— Sara Kwan, Director, Global Sales Enablement, Intuit"

"“Sara and the Intuit team built enablement the way it should be built, as a system that changes how people sell and lead, not a checkbox. Four Brandon Hall awards across four different categories tells you how deep that work goes. We’re honored to play a part.”
— Varun Puri, CEO and co-founder, Yoodli"

Why Award-Winning Enablement Teams Are Turning to Practice

At Yoodli, we believe the future of learning and development is experiential. People don’t build selling and leadership skills by watching videos or reading slides. They build them by practicing, getting feedback, and practicing again.

Intuit joins a growing group of enterprises recognized for this approach:

• VML’s four Brandon Hall wins for its Hi leadership series
• Google’s seven wins across its GBOedu Commercial Enablement portfolio
• Ochsner Health’s frontline leader coaching

The organizations are different, but the principle is the same: people get better faster when they can practice.

Congratulations again to Sara Kwan and the Intuit Global Sales Enablement team. We’re honored to be part of the programs behind these wins.
