Skylar + Spotty Elephant

Partner with Andrew Wilcock to transform sales training. Combine proven Lean4Sales methodology with Skylar's AI role-play platform for lasting behavior change.

Most sales teams don't fail because they lack training, they fail because their training doesn't translate into day-to-day behaviour.

A blended approach, combining focused face-to-face sessions with structured coaching and implementation support, works best because it reflects how selling really happens. Salespeople learn something, apply it in a safe Skylar environment (so it doesn't upset your actual customers), review outcomes, and correct what didn't work.

Our roleplay courses create clarity, challenge assumptions, and align the team; the built-in Skylar coaching element reinforces discipline, consistency, and execution over time.

Selling can be broken down into different phases
