I thoroughly enjoyed Jeremy’s presentation at The NY Alliance. His delivery was so engaging that I lost all track of time. By any measure he is a very effective speaker and educator. I found his comments regarding Selling Like a Spy especially intriguing — I went back to work that day and started to use his suggestions — I truly enjoyed the outside the box ideas.

Keynote by Jeremy Hurewitz

Sell Like a Spy

This talk surveys the high-level principles of the Sell Like a Spy program. Jeremy typically begins by informing audiences about the true nature of the spy world and debunking misconceptions about it. This humanizes a world that is often sensationalized in popular culture and helps audiences understand that the skills of spies can be utilized by them to make them more successful. This sets the table to review skills like elicitation, active listening, mirroring, using the environment around, and taking notes like a spy.

Skills of Social Influence

This session focuses on skills utilized by elite FBI agents – mainly hostage negotiators and counterintelligence agents – as well as law enforcement officials and spies. The speech starts with an introduction to the fascinating world of corporate kidnap-for-ransom support before diving into defusing difficult encounters, interviewing strategies, reading body language, detecting deception, and negotiation.

Use Your Superpowers

A breakout session, typically for smaller groups, this interactive session is focused on to improve networking skills and how to use the different sides of your personality to overcome challenges. Attendees are taught to develop three core subjects they can use in conversation and different ideas are discussed interactively to refine them in a group setting and are given fascinating case studies (such as “The Spy who Skied”) to illustrate how to succeed with these ideas.

I've had the opportunity to participate in Jeremy's Sell Like a Spy sales training at multiple workshops and have consistently championed for his involvement with our sales team. Jeremy brings an innovative, engaging, and unforgettable approach to sales that is adaptable across all sales domains. Participating in Jeremy's program has been incredibly enlightening for me, enabling me to integrate many of his techniques into my sales growth. I eagerly anticipate further learning opportunities from Jeremy. I strongly endorse Sell Like a Spy for any organization looking to enhance their sales training program.

Jeremy certainly captured students' attention as Guest Lecturer for my Ethnographic Research Methods class at Jefferson University. Jeremy tailored his presentation to an undergraduate audience and provided specific tools and examples for effective interviewing, connecting, observation and attentive listening based on his unique experience as a journalist and his work with intelligence officers in corporate security. The students refer to this discussion as they prepare for their research projects, now equipped to conduct interviews and record observations. Of course, the tools and techniques will be used well beyond this class and since Jeremy is such a dynamic speaker, there is no doubt that his presentation will be remembered.

Jeremy had the room captivated during his training session at our sales summit. His authentic stories and practical examples of elicitation are spot on. We loved how he challenged our team to lean into our superpowers. We plan to make Sell Like a Spy a part of our sales philosophy as we achieve our next level of success.
