Imagine reducing hours of preparation to mere minutes while ensuring personalised, impactful learning experiences. That’s the reality Navarro and Associates achieved with Noodle Factory’s AI-powered platform, Walter. In a recent conversation with Jim Wagstaff, Silvio Navarro shared how Walter has revolutionised sales enablement and learning and development (L&D) for multinational corporations.

If you’re a corporate trainer, sales leader, or consultant, this article provides actionable insights into how AI can elevate your training programs.


Meet Silvio Navarro: Innovator in Sales Enablement

Silvio Navarro, founder of Navarro and Associates, has delivered over 100 workshops globally, training 1,100+ learners using Walter. His firm partners with large multinational corporations to design tailored sales enablement and L&D programs. With Walter, Silvio has transformed traditional curriculums into dynamic, AI-powered learning experiences.

“We’re not selling AI; we’re enhancing curriculums. By focusing on specific needs, we’ve driven rapid adoption across multinational corporations,” Silvio shared.


The Challenges of Modern Sales Enablement

Challenges of Modern Sales EnablementSilvio identified four critical challenges organisations face in enabling their sales teams:

1. Time to Content:

Sales professionals often have to sift through hundreds of documents to prepare for meetings, but many don’t have the time. Walter consolidates and curates relevant information, reducing prep time significantly.

2. Controlling the Narrative:

Generic AI tools like ChatGPT may deliver inconsistent responses. Walter ensures that every answer aligns with the organisation’s messaging by drawing exclusively from curated, secure datasets.

3. Language and Regional Barriers:

With operations across multiple regions, seamless communication is vital. Walter supports 180 languages with in-line translation, ensuring contextually accurate communication in native tongues.

4. Security and Compliance

Protecting sensitive data is critical for multinational corporations. Walter operates in a secure, closed environment, ensuring compliance and preventing external AI models from accessing proprietary interactions.


How Walter Works: Real-World Applications

Walter’s capabilities go beyond generic AI tools, offering a curated, actionable approach that empowers learners and trainers alike.

1. Personalised Preparation

Walter streamlines the preparation process by delivering:

  • Role-Specific Insights: Understand stakeholders’ priorities, challenges, and KPIs.
  • Scenario-Specific Data: Combine roles, industries, and use cases to create actionable insights.
  • Objection Handling: Anticipate potential objections and prepare strategic responses.

2. Simulating Success with SAM

SAM (Simulate a Meeting), Walter’s companion feature, allows learners to practise real-world scenarios:

  • Role-Playing: Mimic realistic client interactions to build fluency and confidence.
  • Instant Feedback: Receive detailed evaluations based on a customisable rubric.
  • Tailored Coaching: Refine your approach with actionable insights from Walter’s data.

“You get one shot in high-level meetings. SAM ensures you’re ready to make it count,” Silvio explained.

3. Storytelling Made Simple

Walter helps learners craft concise, impactful customer success stories by summarising:

  • The client’s problem.
  • Desired outcomes and results achieved.
  • Relevant leader quotes and key takeaways.

This storytelling capability helps sales professionals establish credibility and make stronger connections with clients.


Why Walter Outperforms Generic AI Tools

When asked, “Why not use ChatGPT or other public AI platforms?” Silvio had a clear response:

  • Curated Content: Walter ensures consistent messaging with curated datasets.
  • Enhanced Security: Unlike public AI, Walter protects sensitive data and operates within a closed environment.
  • Tailored Outcomes: Walter focuses on specific L&D objectives, delivering actionable insights aligned with organisational goals.

Proven Results in Just 90 Days

One of Walter’s standout features is its rapid deployment. Navarro and Associates implemented Walter for a multinational client in just 90 days, delivering immediate results. This speed-to-value highlights Walter’s practicality and efficiency.

“We ingested documents, tested the algorithm, refined the rubric, and were delivering classes in under three months. The key is to just get started,” Silvio advised.
