Today is an exciting day as Jc Pollard and I are officially rebranding 8STR8 to Holistic Sales Co.

We started 8STR8 with the fundamental belief that achieving success in sales requires far more than sales tactics. It requires a holistic approach to bettering yourself mentally, physically, emotionally, all while fine tuning your sales skills.

That core belief has not changed, if anything it has been strengthened by the positive feedback we have received over the past 10 months. 

What has changed is the value we deliver as a community. 

What started as an 8-Week fitness challenge for sales professionals has evolved into THE ONLY Sales Community that takes a holistic approach to personal and professional growth. 

Holistic Sales Co. was founded to bridge the gap between sales skill development, career growth, and mental and physical health.

From live workshops on sales skills like cold calling and prospecting, to sessions on mindfulness and avoiding burnout, we are on a mission to set salespeople up for sustained success in their sales careers.

What Holistic Sales Co. Members get:

- Unlimited Access to Live Virtual Workshops
- Access to full library of skill workshop recordings
- Private Slack Community of over 350+ Tech Professionals representing 200+ companies
- Exclusive discounts to our partner brands
- And much more.

To celebrate the official launch of Holistic Sales Co., we're running a 30% OFF PROMO for any new members that join TODAY ONLY.

Use promo code "REBRAND" at checkout on holisticsalesco.com

Haven’t been creating a whole lot on here lately.

Been laser focused on:

- Husbanding and Dadding
- Crushing it in the gym, nutrition, and recovery
- Mapping out next moves

I used to feel a weird sense of guilt if I wasn’t posting regularly on here.

Felt like I was “falling behind”, whatever that even means.

Major growth on the peace front. Pretty stoked about it.

Life’s a journey to be enjoyed.

Let’s get it.

🤙🏽
