Two sisters. Both D1 athletes. Both national champions. One went pro, one went corporate.
Lara won a NCAA national championship at Pepperdine and went on to play professional beach volleyball around the world. Skylar was Gatorade Player of the Year and a NCAA national champion at Penn State. After athletics, Skylar built her career in real estate finance before pivoting into tech sales at Plaid, one of the biggest names in fintech.
Eventually, both sisters made the leap into high-ticket sales, where they have closed, coached, and hired. Now, they bring everything they learned from elite athletics, corporate sales, and high-ticket selling into The Jade Network, and personally teach every session themselves.

Division I at Nebraska. National Champion at Pepperdine. Pro on the FIVB World Tour and AVP.

Twenty years in elite athletics taught Lara that confidence does not come from knowing what to do. It comes from doing it enough times that you can execute under pressure. Reps, film, feedback, adjustment, over and over until the skill becomes automatic.
She brought that same approach into sales. Today, she coaches calls the way she once studied game film: pinpoint the moment things shifted, understand why, correct it, and get back into the reps.
Lara / how she started
"I did not come from sales. I came from professional athletics, entertainment, and writing. No sales degree, no sales training, nobody handing me a script."
"So I taught myself. Books, YouTube, listening to calls, asking for feedback, finding mentors who would tell me the truth, and running an enormous number of reps."
"The thing that changed everything was realizing sales is not a talent you are born with. It is a performance skill, and performance skills can be trained. So I treated it like elite sport: practice, reps, coaching, film study, correction, repeat."
"That is where the 90 Rep Method came from. It is how I learned, taught back."

She carried the discipline she learned as an athlete into real estate finance and fintech. Different arena, same approach: master the technique, get the reps, review the tape, make the adjustment, and repeat until it becomes second nature.
Lara and Skylar / off the clock
Same house. Same court. Same standard for twenty years.
They grew up training together on a sand court in Hermosa Beach. Different paths took them into pro sports, corporate careers, and eventually sales. The way they work never really changed. Get the reps. Take the feedback. Hold one another accountable. Keep getting better.
The standard we grew up on
Two sisters. One shared standard.
They learned early that getting better comes down to reps, coaching, and making small adjustments over time. That is how they train inside The Jade Network too. Students get both, Lara and Skylar, every week, reviewing what is working, catching what is not, and helping improve rep by rep.
The athlete who ran the sales floor
Lara Dykstra
National Champion, All American, Pro Athlete, High-Ticket sales, Head of Sales
Lara spent most of her life competing at the highest levels of her sport. She began her Division I career at Nebraska before transferring to Pepperdine, where she won an AVCA National Championship and became a two-time All-American. She went on to play professionally on the AVP and FIVB World Tour, competing around the world and winning multiple international medals.
When she moved into sales, the same skills translated quickly: preparation, composure under pressure, reading the person across from her, and knowing how to adjust in real time. She has since personally closed more than $5M in high-ticket matchmaking, dating coaching, and sales training offers, and led a 30-person sales organization operating at a $60M annual revenue run rate.
Today, she brings the same approach she used as an athlete into The Jade Network: learn the technique, get the reps, review what happened, make the adjustment, and go again.

We built the program we wish existed.
We kept seeing the same thing in online sales training: hours of recorded videos, very little hands-on support, and no real community holding you accountable while you learned. Women were expected to watch the modules, figure it out on their own, and somehow become confident on live sales calls. A lot of them never even made it to the finish line.
We wanted to build the opposite. Small cohorts. Even smaller Inner Circles. Live coaching. Filmed reps every week. Specific feedback on what worked, what did not, and what to change on the next one.
Because learning sales should not feel like doing it alone. You should have coaches in your corner and a group of women going through the same process beside you.
For six weeks, you train with us live twice a week while completing 90 reps, passing the Final Exam at 80 out of 100, and completing the required 90-day career work. And if you do not have 3 qualifying interviews within 90 days of graduating, you can keep attending group coaching and career support calls at no additional cost until you do.
