Advance your career

A Place to Get
Better On Purpose

The School of Impact is Impact Eighty-Eight's online school for sales professionals and the leaders who lead them. What you learn here is made to work on the floor, in real conversations with real buyers, not just on a screen. You'll walk away thinking differently about your role, and selling differently because of it.
Learn by doing
Scenario-based practice, not passive videos. You work real buyer situations, so the skill transfers to the floor.
Leaders can see it
Follow along with your team as they work through the course, so coaching conversations start with something real instead of a guess.
On your schedule
Self-paced learning you can reach between appointments, with Monthly Live Workshops and Open Coaching Sessions launching later
this fall.
Where this starts

You Might Recognize at
Least One of These

 You sat through training that felt great in the room, and a month later, you can barely remember what you were supposed to do differently.
 You learned to sell by shadowing whoever was free that day, so you still don't know if your habits are the good kind or the kind worth breaking.
 You're close enough to get by, and you're tired of every good month feeling like luck instead of skill.
 You'd love to bring a trainer on site, but travel costs and pulling the team off the floor for a full day isn't realistic this year.
 You know you're capable of more on the floor, you just don't know which specific skill to work on next.

Glad You're Here

You're already apart of what we're building. Here's more about the people behind it, and what we're trying to change about how sales teams learn.
Who you'll learn from

Meet Our Team

No faceless platform, no rotating cast of contractors. The people who build the courses are the people who show up in the room, and they bring more than 65 years of combined sales and leadership experience with them.
Ryan Taft
Founder & Chief Impact Officer
Ryan spent over 25 years in homebuilding sales training and leadership development before starting Impact Eighty-Eight, and he's the person you'll see teaching most of the courses in this school. He's a Certified Speaking Professional with the National Speakers Association and was named a 2026 Smart Speaker, Best of the Stage. He's also the author of RevenueGetter and The Sales Cure, and co-author of Buying the Experience and Tougher Market New Home Sales. Ryan is quick to give the credit for all of it to the clients and teams he's worked with, and that same spirit carries into his courses, where you'll find someone who has done the job talking to you like you're fully capable of doing it too.

Lindsey Ayala

Chief Growth Officer

Lindsey is a senior sales and growth leader with more than 20 years in the new home industry, including Senior Director of Client Success at Shore Consulting and Corporate VP of Sales at Crescent Homes, where she launched divisions and built the teams that carried them. She's done the work most of our learners are reaching for, and she brings that experience to the sessions she leads, especially where sales, growth, and AI meet. When she's in the room, you're learning from someone who's genuinely been there.

Misty Stenmark

Client Experience & Operations Coordinator

Misty has spent nearly two decades in real estate and new home sales, starting as a Realtor in Georgia before moving into leading communities, recruiting, coaching, and developing sales talent. She's lived the day-to-day the school is built for, which is why she's the one making sure your experience in it actually works, from the first course you open to every question you bring along the way.

What our students say about us

It's really helped me tie everything together. When I made my experience promise, I could see the relief, and it made the transition into EDQ feel natural......Thanks again for you help. I can't wait to keep learning and getting better!

Got released to sell this week & your training definitely came in handy to lock in my 1st one!
— Victoria
Without your guys' process and coaching, I don't think it's possible. I can just tell that I am selling life improvement and I am positively impacting people all the way around and I can't imagine myself doing anything different.
