Winning Deals Without Losing Yourself - with Sebastian Hidalgo
SWAT (Sales with Advanced Tactics): A Sales Framework Built from Hostage Negotiation and PsyOps
What if the reason you hate selling is that you've only ever seen it done wrong?
Most of us were taught that closing a deal means forcing someone to make a decision. Pushing past the no. Filling every silence. Performing certainty you don't feel.
That's coercion with better makeup.
There's another way to close.
It's the practice of moving someone from interest to commitment while remaining fully yourself. Hostage negotiators use it to get someone to put down a weapon. PsyOps specialists use it to shift behavior at scale. Both work by understanding someone's position deeply enough that agreement becomes the natural next step.
In this 4-hour training, Sebastian Hidalgo, Co-founder and Head of Strategy at DURINDAL, will walk you through SWAT (Sales with Advanced Tactics): a sales framework built from influence and tradecraft principles.
YOU'LL LEAVE WITH:
A framework for reading where someone actually is in a decision
Language that moves conversations toward commitment while respecting both people in the room
A way to handle hesitation and objections while staying grounded in who you are
A repeatable structure you can use on your very next client or prospect conversation
THIS TRAINING IS FOR:
Anyone in the Collective with something to sell: a service, a program, or yourself in a client conversation. Founders and coaches who've built something worth paying for and freeze the moment the conversation turns to money.
If you've been closing deals by accident, or avoiding the close entirely because it feels like it costs you something, this training is for you.
Bring your integrity. That's the prerequisite.
Free for members of the Rebellion Collective. $175 for the public.
Four hours of live training with a framework that would run $2,000+ in a traditional sales program.
If this is calling you, membership is the shortest path in.
