Patrick’s use of epic historical events, funny stories, and humorous video clips keep participants engaged, entertained and more capable of absorbing large doses of information.

SKILL + METHODOLOGY + STRATEGY = SYSTEM™

The Spartans knew when they combined weaponry SKILLS with a standardized combat METHODOLOGY and campaign-specific battle STRATEGY that they had a SYSTEM. A calculus for winning! A formula for success. They recognized that their greatest competitive advantage wasn’t in superior numbers, brute force or bravery. It was their system. the combined training and application of skill, methodology & strategy. A system as effective for sellers as it is to soldiers, and as applicable to business as it was to battle.

The Battlefield of Business

Like war, business has allies and enemies, weaponry and strategy—battles with winners and losers. And no disrespect to accountants, but the battlefield of business is in the sales arena where there are wins and losses. Triumphs and defeats. And like ancient Spartan Warriors, modern SPARTAN SELLERS trained in the Spartan Selling System [SKILL + METHODOLOGY + STRATEGY = SYSTEM] have a distinct competitive advantage over their SYSTEMLESS colleagues and competitors who don’t.
