Business Education at the Goldman Sachs Standard

Most small business education programs teach theory. Chris Collie teaches application. As faculty for the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program at Miami Dade College, Chris delivers the same rigorous, CEO-level content that growth-stage business owners actually need — leadership, workforce strategy, sales systems, and influence psychology.

ETS brings that same standard to workshops, cohort programs, and individual business coaching engagements.

What We Cover

  • Leadership identity and management systems for small business owners
  • Building a high-performing team when you can’t pay enterprise salaries
  • Sales training and objection handling with neuroscience-based scripts
  • Value proposition development and competitive positioning
  • Workforce strategy: hiring, onboarding, and retaining key talent
  • Influence and persuasion psychology for sales and negotiation

Chris’s approach to sales training is grounded in behavioral psychology — not manipulation. Participants learn why clients resist, what their brain is doing during objections, and how to respond in ways that build trust instead of pressure.

Program Formats

  • Half-day and full-day workshops for small business cohorts
  • Multi-session entrepreneurship education programs
  • Sales training intensives for owner-led sales teams
  • One-on-one business coaching and strategic advisory
  • Keynote presentations for chambers, associations, and accelerators

Who This Is For

Business owners and entrepreneurs who are past the startup phase and ready to build systems, develop their team, and grow with intention. Participants in workforce development and entrepreneurship programs. Small business cohorts through economic development organizations, chambers of commerce, and college-based programs.
