This is a recap of a real pilot project powered by DealBooster in partnership with a major telecom company.

39 senior and mid-level leaders took part in a one-on-one leadership assessment - not with a live coach, but with an AI avatar from DealBooster. No lectures, no pressure - just an immersive, scenario-based conversation that sparked reflection and surfaced real leadership insight

1. The New Rule of Learning: The More You Want, the More You Get

Let’s be honest - traditional corporate learning is often limited by people and time. Can you ask a coach or trainer to spend two hours with you personally? Not really.

But with DealBooster’s solution with real-time AI avatars, the game changes. You want to grow? You can. Right now. No scheduling, no HR bottlenecks. In our pilot with major Mobile Carrier (under NDA), participants spent an average of 44 minutes per session, with top performers hitting up to 2 full hours of deep, meaningful dialogue.

This isn’t a chatbot quiz. It’s a guided conversation where the AI mirrors your thinking, challenges your assumptions, and helps you reflect on your leadership style.

All without pressure. All at your pace.

2. Fear of New Tech Doesn’t Just Hold You Back - It Leaves You Behind

Here’s the kicker: out of 190 invited leaders, only 39 showed up. That’s just 20%.

But those 20%? They walked away with deep insights, powerful feedback, and a clear direction for growth. Some had over 140 dialogue turns in a single session. That level of reflection is rare - even in live workshops.

The rest? They got… nothing. Not even the usual HR touchpoint. Not because they were denied access - but because they hesitated.

And that’s the bigger story:

In a world of GenAI, the gap between early adopters and the fearful is only going to grow.

Those who engage with tools like AI avatars will get more - more coaching, more insight, more opportunity.

Those who don’t will fall behind, even in the basics.

3. DealBooster’s AI Avatars Aren’t the Future - They’re the Now

This isn’t hype. The avatar format worked because it was personal, safe, and relevant. Leaders opened up - without being forced. They reflected - without being told. They walked away feeling seen, heard, and motivated to grow.

One participant nailed it:

“It’s like a mirror. You suddenly realize why people don’t understand you. That’s gold.”

And this isn’t just a one-off use case. DealBooster avatars can be deployed across a range of learning and development needs:

• Leadership assessment
• Talent reviews
• Onboarding for new managers
• Personalized learning journeys
• Internal coaching at scale

All with no extra HR resources, no full-time trainers, and no limits on availability.

These leaders didn’t just “try” DealBooster - they leaned in. And the outcomes speak for themselves.

Final Thought

DealBooster’s mission is simple: make elite-level coaching and development accessible - instantly, affordably, and at scale.

This pilot proved one thing:

AI avatars make it possible to get better - faster, deeper, and on your terms. But only if you’re willing to try.

The leaders who did? They’re already ahead.
