Jeremy Hurewitz

Keynote Speaker: Creator and Author of "Sell Like a Spy"; Foreign Policy Advisor & Risk Consultant

Jeremy Hurewitz Biography

Jeremy Hurewitz is the creator of “Sell Like a Spy” and author of the book of the same name, which applies CIA-inspired communication and relationship-building strategies to sales and business development. Drawing on techniques used by intelligence and government professionals, he helps clients strengthen rapport-building, develop creative approaches to closing deals, and overcome business challenges.

Hurewitz spent the first decade of his career overseas helping grow Project Syndicate from a small regional media association into a global network of more than 300 newspapers across 100 countries. Based in Prague and Shanghai, he led business development efforts, expanded editorial offerings, and helped establish publishing and analytics initiatives. During this time, he also worked as a freelance journalist, contributing to publications including Bloomberg, USA Today, and The Hill.

After returning to the U.S., Hurewitz worked in corporate security consulting alongside former CIA, FBI, military, Secret Service, and State Department professionals. Inspired by their ability to build trust and influence outcomes, he adapted many of their relationship-building methods into his own sales approach — experiences that ultimately became the foundation for “Sell Like a Spy."

Jeremy Hurewitz Speaking Topics

Sell Like a Spy

This session surveys the high-level principles of the Sell Like a Spy program. Jeremy typically breaks the ice by informing audiences about the true nature of the intelligence world and misconceptions about it. This humanizes a world that is often sensationalized in popular culture and helps audiences understand that the skills of CIA case officers 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 cultivated by elite FBI agents – mainly hostage negotiators and counterintelligence agents – as well as law enforcement officials and CIA case officers. Jeremy sets the table for this talk by introducing 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

This is an interactive breakout session and is typically for smaller groups focused on improving 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 given fascinating case studies to illustrate how to succeed with these ideas.

This popular segment builds on the true-life stories about how spies leverage disguises and cover stories to complete their missions. Attendees are asked to think of characters they admire from popular culture and the group setting provides opportunities about how to virtually put on a mask to overcome challenging scenarios (“the dreaded happy hour” & “the arrogant client”).
