How Vautier Communications Increased Revenue by 15% with Yoodli AI

Vautier Communications enhanced their coaching programs by adopting Yoodli’s AI coaching platform, resulting in streamlined processes, a 15% revenue increase, ongoing engagement, and a modernized approach that allows coaches to focus on high-impact training.

Background

Vautier Communications is a leading player in the business communications space, specializing in delivering education and training to individuals and groups. Their mission is simple: help people “speak as well as they think.” Their coaching sessions are structured in small group formats, typically consisting of 12 participants led by one coach, focusing on communication skills across business units. Their two-day coaching programs are built on the principle of “learn by doing,” where participants practice and receive feedback in real-time, guided by Vautier’s team of expert coaches.

Through Yoodli, Vautier Communications achieved a 15% increase in revenue per client and successfully scaled the use of AI and technology across multiple clients.

The Problem

Vautier Communications faced the following challenges:

1. Manual Video Recording: For years, Vautier’s coaches used SD cards to record sessions, but this method has become impractical. Collecting 12 cards per session, uploading files to Dropbox, and sharing links with participants is time-consuming and limits client access. Many clients struggle to review videos due to outdated technology or lack of time.
2. Limited Post-Program Support: Vautier’s business thrives on word-of-mouth and referrals, but their touchpoints with clients often end after their intensive two-day programs. The company wanted to extend the relationship by providing more opportunities for participants to practice beyond the coaching sessions.

Static Technology: Although their SD card system worked in the classroom, Vautier recognized the need to evolve. They aimed to integrate more advanced technology that would simplify their process while adding value to their offerings, especially for clients accustomed to digital platforms and on-demand feedback.

""“Managing the logistics of video recordings was becoming increasingly challenging, and our clients struggled to access their feedback. We needed a solution that would streamline our process and enhance the overall experience for clients.” – Jenn Alex, Coach & Vice-President of Sales & People""

The Solution & Impact

Vautier adopted a bespoke version of Yoodli’s AI platform, customized with their branding and content, to enhance participant experience and extend the impact of their coaching programs.

Their benefits include:

• Seamless Integration with Yoodli: Vautier switched from SD card recordings to Yoodli’s AI platform, allowing participants to practice their talks and receive objective, data-driven feedback on communication metrics like filler words and pacing. This streamlined the process, eliminating the need for SD cards and Dropbox links.
• Increased Revenue: With Yoodli’s scalable AI solution, Vautier raised their program price by 15%, allowing all participants to access AI-driven feedback and personalized insights. This freed up coaches to concentrate on more strategic aspects of communication training.
• Ongoing Client Engagement: Vautier extended clients’ access to Yoodli for three months post-program, allowing participants to practice communication skills with AI feedback in real-world scenarios. This engagement boosted client retention and strengthened relationships, enhancing their referral-driven business model.
• Tech-Savvy Future: Integrating Yoodli modernized Vautier’s coaching framework, enabling participants to access feedback digitally and practice anytime with AI-generated insights. This allows Vautier to focus more on high-impact coaching and less on administrative tasks.

""“Integrating Yoodli has transformed our coaching approach. Not only have we seen a 15% increase in revenue, but our participants now have the tools to practice and receive instant feedback anytime, making our training more impactful than ever.” — John Vautier, Coach & Vice-President of Sales""
