This collaboration combines Yoodli’s cutting-edge generative AI technology with SalesStar’s proven sales development expertise to transform how sales professionals practice, refine, and elevate their performance.
A New Standard for Sales Coaching and Enablement

- Master Key Sales Conversations: SARA’s real-time feedback helps sellers improve prospecting, discovery, objection handling, and closing techniques.
- Practice What They’ve Learned: SARA reinforces the core competencies taught in SalesStar programs, providing continuous opportunities to apply frameworks and best practices.
- Build Confidence and Consistency: Reps can rehearse pitches and challenging scenarios in a judgment-free space, receiving personalized, actionable insights on clarity, tone, and conviction.
- Deliver Measurable Results: SARA tracks individual progress, enabling sales leaders to link skill development directly to performance outcomes.
- Scale Sales Development: On-demand access allows organizations to extend consistent, high-quality coaching across teams and geographies.
