For BDRs & SDRs

Dial faster.
Never freeze on
an objection
again.

Tenali is a real-time AI cold call assistant for outbound SDRs and BDRs. The moment a prospect says “we already use them,” “not interested,” or “just send me an email,” Tenali puts the rebuttal on your screen — live, while you’re still talking. It works on top of any dialer you already use, so there’s nothing to rip out. Click record once, then Tenali covers every back-to-back call in your session and logs each one for you.

Built for outbound teams running power-dialing sessions from their computer.

Why Cold Calls Stall

Three things costing your team meetings every day

#1

Objections end the call before you book the meeting

Cold calls live or die in the first 60 seconds. “We already use someone,” “not interested,” “just send me an email” — one objection your rep can’t answer smoothly and the call is over. The best rebuttals exist somewhere in a playbook nobody opens mid-dial, so reps improvise, freeze, or agree to send an email that never converts.

Connect rates are low and most dials never reach a decision-maker — so every objection your reps fumble throws away hard-won conversation time.

#2

Logging calls and follow-ups eats the time you should be dialing

After every conversation, reps stop to disposition the call, type notes into the CRM, write a follow-up email, and update the sequence. Multiply that across a power-dialing session and reps spend a large slice of the day on admin instead of on the phone — and half the time the real objection never even gets logged.

Reps spend the majority of their day on non-selling admin; call logging and CRM updates are among the biggest drains on an SDR’s time.

#3

Your best objection handling lives in one rep’s head

One or two reps on the floor can handle any objection in their sleep. Everyone else is still learning — and new SDRs take months to sound confident, burning through fresh lists while they ramp. When a rep leaves, their rebuttals leave with them, and every new dialer or tool means retraining from scratch.

SDR ramp runs months and median tenure is short, so teams are perpetually re-ramping and re-teaching objection handling.

Real-Time Cold-Call Assistance

Handle every objection like your best rep.
On every cold call. On any dialer.

Tenali is a real-time AI cold call assistant. It listens to your live calls and, the moment a prospect pushes back — “we already use someone,” “not interested,” “just send me an email” — it surfaces the rebuttal on your screen from your own playbooks and top reps’ calls. No typing. No searching. No dead air while you hunt for the right answer.

You can’t open a battlecard PDF mid-dial without killing the conversation. Tenali runs on top of the dialer you already use, so there’s nothing to rip out — click record once and it covers every back-to-back call in your session, then logs each one and drafts the follow-up.

Step 1

Works on top of any dialer

Tenali isn’t a dialer — it runs on top of whatever you already use: Outreach, Salesloft, Orum, Nooks, Aircall, Five9, Avaya, Dialpad, and more. It captures the call audio on your computer, so there’s nothing to rip out and no reason to change how your team dials. Outcome: instant adoption, zero disruption to your outbound motion.

Step 2

One click, then every call is covered

Click “Start Recording” once at the top of your session. Tenali assists across every back-to-back call automatically — no per-call setup. It follows each new call as it begins: who picked up, gatekeeper vs. decision-maker, and which objections come up, across rapid power-dialing. Outcome: reps keep dialing; Tenali keeps up.

Step 3

Real-time objection handling

The instant a prospect objects — “we already use X,” “not interested,” “send me an email,” “no budget,” “call me next quarter” — Tenali surfaces the rebuttal on screen in seconds, plus instant answers to product questions and battlecards against the exact competitor named. Outcome: no dead air, more objections turned into meetings.

Step 4

Auto-log, draft follow-up, update the sequence

When the call ends, Tenali logs the call, drafts the follow-up email from what was actually said, and updates the sequence or CRM. Outcome: reps move to the next number instead of typing notes, and no objection goes unlogged.

Already using Outreach, Salesloft, Orum, Nooks, Aircall, Five9, Avaya, Dialpad, or RingCentral? Keep it.

Tenali isn’t a dialer — it runs on top of the dialer you already use, adding a real-time assistant layer to the calls you’re already making. No rip-and-replace. No new calling software. No retraining your reps.

Knowledge That Compounds

Tenali learns from your best callers — automatically

Generic AI guesses at rebuttals. Tenali stays grounded — because it learns from the reps and playbooks that already win on your floor.

Your best reps’ cold calls

Tenali indexes how your top SDRs handle gatekeepers, “not interested,” and “we already use X” on real calls, and makes those exact rebuttals retrievable live for every rep — so your whole floor sounds like your best closer.

Battlecards & competitor intel

Your competitive battlecards, positioning, and objection playbooks — Tenali reads them so reps get the right counter to the exact competitor named, without opening a PDF mid-dial.

HubSpot
Outreach

Sequences, CRM & call outcomes

Tenali connects to your sequences and CRM so it knows the account context going into a call and updates them with the outcome coming out — no manual logging.

Manager coaching & corrections

When a manager or top rep refines a rebuttal, Tenali learns it immediately — so the entire team’s objection handling improves with every call, and that knowledge never walks out the door.

The compounding effect: Every winning rebuttal, every call, every manager correction makes Tenali sharper. Your best objection handling becomes available to every rep on every dial — institutional knowledge that doesn’t walk out the door when someone leaves.

The Tenali Difference

Real-time objection handling for cold calls

The objection lands, the clock starts, and the meeting is on the line. Tenali puts the rebuttal on your screen before the silence gets awkward.

THE OLD WAY

Prospect says:

“We already use someone else.”

1

Rep blanks on how to counter — awkward pause

2

“Oh, got it… well, we do some things differently…”

Vague, unconvincing

3

Prospect: “Just send me an email.”

4

Email ignored. No meeting. No log of the real objection.

Meeting lost in 10 seconds
THE TENALI WAY

Prospect says:

“We already use someone else.”

T
Tenali shows the rebuttal instantly:

“Totally — a lot of our customers kept their existing provider. Tenali isn’t a dialer; it runs on top and adds live objection handling to the calls you already make. Worth 15 minutes to see it on your next session?”

  • Pulled from the matching competitor battlecard
  • Matches how your top reps handle it
  • On screen in seconds — no dead air

You keep talking — and you’ve got a real shot at the meeting.

InstantObjection handled, meeting in play

Works the same way on “not interested,” “send me an email,” “no budget,” and the gatekeeper. Every objection gets an answer.

Let’s Be Clear

Not a dialer, and not an autonomous AI voice agent

Tenali doesn’t place calls or talk for you. A human rep runs the conversation — Tenali makes them faster and more confident by surfacing source-backed responses, objection talk tracks, and follow-up actions in real time, on top of whatever dialer you use.

What Tenali is
  • A real-time assistant that shows rebuttals and answers on your screen during live cold calls
  • A layer on top of the dialer you already use — Outreach, Salesloft, Orum, Nooks, and more
  • A tool that auto-logs each call and drafts the follow-up so reps keep dialing
What Tenali is not
  • An autonomous AI voice agent that talks to prospects for you
  • A dialer or calling platform you have to switch to
  • A bot that joins the call or announces itself to the prospect

Built for the Floor

Rebuttals your reps can say out loud with confidence

Nobody wants an AI feeding their reps something wrong in front of a prospect. Tenali is built to be accurate, invisible, and effortless on a live cold call — not just impressive in a demo.

Works with your existing dialer

Tenali doesn’t replace your calling stack. It runs on top of any software dialer or web call, so switching or adding a dialer never means retraining your reps on a new assistant.

Invisible to the prospect

Tenali runs as a private overlay on the rep’s screen only — no bot joins the call, and nothing changes about how the call sounds to the prospect. Tenali works within your team’s existing consent and call-recording policies.

Hands-free across the whole session

One click at the start covers every back-to-back call. Reps never type, search, or click mid-dial — the rebuttal is just there when the objection lands.

Grounded rebuttals, not guesses

Every response is drawn from your own playbooks, battlecards, and top reps’ past calls, with a confidence signal. Tenali won’t invent a claim on a live call the way a generic chatbot will.

Objection intelligence

Tenali aggregates the objections your team actually hears — by competitor, persona, and campaign — so managers see what’s really blocking meetings and can fix the script for everyone.

Enterprise-grade security

SOC 2 Type II certification in progress. GDPR compliant. Raw audio is not stored, data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and Tenali does not train models on customer data.

Modeled from early customer data — your results will vary by ICP, list quality, and offer.

More meetings, same dials

Handling objections live means more of your hard-won connects turn into booked meetings — no extra dials, no bigger list, no new headcount.

Every rep sells more

Auto-logging and drafted follow-ups hand every rep back real time each day — time that goes straight back into dialing instead of data entry.

Tooling stays flexible

Tenali runs on top of any dialer, so you can change or stack your calling stack whenever you want without retraining reps on a new assistant.

The Shift

What your outbound team looks like with Tenali

Before Tenali
  • A prospect says “we already use Outreach” and the rep freezes — the call ends with no meeting
  • Reps cave to “just send me an email,” and the real objection never makes it into the CRM
  • The best rebuttals live in one top rep’s head; everyone else improvises
  • Roughly 20–40 minutes a day per rep lost to disposition, CRM notes, and writing follow-ups
  • New SDRs take months to sound confident on objections, burning through fresh lists as they ramp
  • Every new dialer or tool means retraining reps on a new assistant
  • Managers only hear what went wrong days later, after listening back to recordings
With Tenali
  • The instant a prospect objects, the rebuttal is on screen — the rep keeps talking and books the meeting
  • “Send me an email” gets a live counter, and the objection is captured automatically
  • Your best rep’s objection responses are available to every SDR on every call
  • Calls auto-logged, follow-ups drafted, sequences updated — reps dial instead of typing
  • New hires handle objections like veterans from week one
  • Switch or add dialers freely — Tenali works on top of whatever you use, no retraining
  • The objections your team hears most are aggregated by competitor and persona, in real time

The Outbound Math

More meetings from the dials you’re already making

Connect-to-meeting rate. Ramp time. Selling hours. Tenali moves all of them — without adding a single dial or a single hire.

  • Connect→meeting conversion ↑ — More conversations turn into booked meetings because reps answer every objection live, instead of losing the call to “send me an email.”
  • Meetings booked ↑ — More pipeline from the exact same dial volume. No extra dials, no extra headcount — just a higher hit rate on the connects you already earn.
  • Ramp time ↓ — New SDRs handle objections like veterans from day one, so they contribute pipeline in weeks instead of months.
  • Selling time ↑ — Auto-logging and drafted follow-ups give every rep back roughly 20–40 minutes a day (modeled) to spend dialing.
  • Dialer flexibility ↑ — Change or stack dialers whenever you want; Tenali works on top of all of them, so tooling decisions stop being a retraining event.

Same list. Same dials. Same team. The only thing that changes is how many of those conversations turn into booked meetings.
