kyle's right (here's why)
the 'perfect storm' that's hitting tech sales right now
Hey,
It’s JC here 👋
Yesterday, Kyle mentioned we're bringing back 8STR8 Foundations.
Let me tell you why this matters more now than ever.
I'm seeing a troubling pattern in tech sales:
Remote work has created lone wolves. Quota pressure keeps mounting. And the habits that once served us... are now slowly destroying us.
Think about it:
Those "just one drink" after work outings becoming nightly rituals
The "I'll work out tomorrow" promises piling up
Energy crashing right before crucial afternoon demos
Weight creeping up as motivation keeps dropping
Sound familiar?
Here's what's wild:
These are the exact same challenges our past participants faced before joining 8STR8.
People like Mitch, who hit nearly 300 pounds and was stuck in what he called "unhealthy motions day in and day out."
But here's the reality check:
The world isn't slowing down.
Quotas aren't getting smaller.
And trying to figure this out alone?
That's what got us here in the first place.
That's why Kyle and I decided: It's time to go back to what works.
On Saturday, Kyle will break down exactly what 8STR8 Foundations looks like and the special opportunity we're creating for this cohort.
But for now, just know this:
If you're feeling stuck between crushing quotas and crushing habits, you're not alone.
And next week, you'll have a chance to change that.
More soon,
JC

P.S.
Was looking at some of the testimonials from the OG 8STR8 participants, and this one definitely stood out:
Brandon Feder, an AE at DocuSign, lost 27 pounds and transformed his life through 8STR8. His words stuck with me:
"I spend money on dumb sh*t all the time, this was the best investment I've made in myself in recent years."
Soon, you'll see exactly why he feels that way.
