Impact Eighty-Eight

Watch Ryan Taft break down a mistake he sees in almost every sales organization he walks into.

Leaders open coaching conversations with company vision, company goals, and what the business needs from the team. And the salesperson on the other side of that conversation isn't thinking about any of it. They're thinking about themselves. What's in it for them. What changes in their day, their paycheck, their confidence, if they actually apply what's being asked of them.

Ryan trains leaders to flip that conversation, and it's one of the core shifts built into the 4E Coaching Method™ he teaches inside every onsite engagement.

If your sales managers need to learn how to have coaching conversations that actually land, reach out to Lindsey Ayala at [email protected] or 843.296.9817 to get a training on the books for your team.

Ryan learned to do a handstand when he was 8 years old. It took him the entire summer of practice.

He's 52 now. He still knows how to do it.

That's not a party trick, it's the whole argument for why practice matters more than most sales teams give it credit for.

A shifting market doesn't wait for your team to figure things out on the fly, and expecting them to adapt without practicing their sales skills first is setting them up to fail before they've even walked into the model home.

If your team could use live, on-site coaching from Ryan to build those skills the right way, reach out to Lindsey Ayala directly at [email protected].

Most sales leaders get promoted because they could sell, and then they get thrown in front of a room full of people with zero training on how to actually lead that room.

Sales rallies. Company updates. Quarterly reviews. The board. Nobody teaches you how to stand up and talk in front of any of them, and then everyone acts surprised when a great salesperson freezes up at the podium.

In this video, Ryan Taft breaks down why he built Speak to Lead, a three day intensive with live practice reps and real time coaching, so leaders walk out able to command a room instead of just surviving it.

Watch the full video and tell us in the comments, when was the last time you had to speak in front of your team with no idea what you were doing.

Are you tired of your team not taking action? It's probably because you aren't taking action.

Ryan Taft doesn't let leaders off the hook on this one, and it's one of the most repeated lines from his sales floor visits over the years.

Teams don't build momentum because a manager told them to. They build it because someone got out from behind the desk and did the work alongside them first.

That's the identity shift at the center of the RevenueGetter Coaching Certification, a 12 month program that gives revenue-responsible leaders the frameworks, the practice, and the credential to actually coach their teams, not just talk to them.

Early enrollment for the January 2027 group is open now and closes July 31, with only 20 seats available.

You don't need more alignment. You don't need more ChatGPT alignment. You need to get out into the field and coach your people."

Ryan Taft, keeping it simple in this one.

It's easy to mistake a well-run meeting for a well-coached team. They're not the same thing, and the gap between them is where most sales leaders lose the season without realizing it.

The RevenueGetter Coaching Certification is built to close that gap. Twelve months, four in-person intensives, and a repeatable coaching system a leader can use the same week they learn it, not just talk about it in the next staff meeting.

January 2027 enrollment is open now, capped at 20 seats. Details and enrollment here: https://impacteightyeight.com/revenuegetter-coaching-certification?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=alignment_reel&utm_content=i88_brand_page

John Cristy came into Speak to Lead looking for an edge, the kind that shows up in a board room where there's no room for a second attempt, in front of leadership, during quarterly reviews.

He told us the tools from those three days went straight into that room, and every quarterly review since has gotten stronger.

That's what Impact Eighty Eight builds Speak to Lead around, a shift a leader can point to every single quarter.

If you lead a room where the stakes are real, board updates, client pitches, company-wide meetings, learn more at impacteightyeight.com/speak-to-lead.

Jenna Parker leads sales for Stevens Fine Homes, and after CoLab Live she said the collaborative format is what set it apart, working with her table in the morning, then mixing with an entirely different group by afternoon.

That's the whole point. This isn't rows of chairs facing a stage, it's leaders working alongside leaders who carry the same responsibility they do. San Antonio is September 15 and 16, and seats are going fast.

We the same message every week right now. Someone reads the RevenueGetter book, or catches a clip from one of the intensives, they want better coaching and they ask if the certification is still open.

Yes it is. Enrollment for the January 2027 RevenueGetter Coaching Certification is open right now, and you can reserve your seat online today.

Here's what matters this week. Pay in full by July 31 and your seat is $8,888. Wait past that date and the price moves to $10,000, and we only hold 20 seats per enrollment period, so once they're gone, they're gone until the next window opens.

If $8,888 up front isn't realistic right now, we built a payment plan. Five payments, spread through December, total of $9,444. Same seat, same four national intensives, same monthly calls with me for the full year.

Everything is laid out on the page now, pricing, payment plan, and what the twelve months actually look like.
