At iPowerAcademy, we don’t just teach sales — we train the human behind it. The emotional, driven, sometimes-doubting rep climbing toward something bigger. Built by Eddie Petrie — a leader who scaled a $100M peak, lost his footing, and clawed his way back with a framework that puts connection over commission, and belief over burnout.
Now, he helps others rise again — starting with the one doing the selling. The one who was on a roll… until he wasn’t.
Led by Eddie Petrie, iPowerAcademy is built to reignite the human side of sales
Peak
Some people climb the mountain once. I fell off and built a new one.
I peaked early.
By most standards,I “made it” before I turned 40.
Took a small training firm to 9-figures.
Took it public.
Built the team. Built the culture.
Spoke on stages.
Cashed big checks. Changed lives.
Success? Had it.
The Man. That was me.
Confidence? Buckets
full.
Significance? Felt it.
Fall
The divorce? Devastating.
The business hits? Humbling.
2008 – The Crash.
The self-doubt? Bone-deep and soul crushing.
Imposter syndrome? Real and reinforcing daily.
I lost the money. I lost the company.
But worse—I lost the fire.
The clarity. The mission.
iPower
Not from a spreadsheet.
Not from a product gap.
But from a personal collapse that forced a complete rebuild—from the inside out.
Before iPowerAcademy existed, Eddie helped architect one of the largest Microsoft-aligned IT training schools in the U.S.—CTEC powered, workforce focused.
The school didn’t just prepare students. It transformed entire career trajectories for thousands.
Now, the same behavioral training, communication structure, and emotional selling framework used inside that $100M success is what powers C3.
What started in classrooms now empowers call centers, recruiters, career changers, and sales teams around the country.
Grew enrollment 10X in under 3 years
Helped thousands enter tech careers
Built curriculum now adapted inside iPower’s modern framework
We believe that connection is not a soft skill—it’s the hard edge.
We believe that the next generation of sales pros won’t sound like the last.
We believe sales training should leave you feeling stronger, not more scripted.
Empathy wins
Conversations close
Process follows
Career schools scaling remote teams
Call centers struggling to retain talent
Recruiters needing emotionally intelligent closers
Tech founders training SDRs in human-first frameworks
Entrepreneurs selling high-ticket offers
