Influence Is Not Learned in Theory.
It Is Earned in Sequence.

Inside the ExecHero Dojo, rank is forged through a 10-belt progression system that measures what most programs never test:

  • Can you hold state when stakes rise?
  • Can you sequence conversations so the other person feels the truth, not the push?
  • Can you guide without leaking neediness, doubt, or justification into your tone?
  • And when price is revealed, can you stand in certainty without discounting yourself out of the arena?

This is not a “certificate of completion.” It is a diagnostic measure of influence, leadership, and closing under pressure — earned through demonstrated posture, timing, and responsibility, not theatrics or persuasion tricks.

Whether you operate in tech, healthcare, coaching, sales floors, or boardrooms, the doctrine is the same: You train until your influence no longer fractures under outcomes — so decisions stabilize, scale, and resolve cleanly, regardless of price, industry, or medium.

We serve and place practitioners globally. Rank is never assigned in text, chat, or theory — it is revealed and validated in conversation, under stakes, inside the arena.

If this resonates but you can’t quite name why yet… good. That means the loop is working. The next step is simple: Book the call. Close the gap. Apply to enter the arena.

If accepted, you will gain access to the world's first and only biological system of influence and leadership that holds under pressure—and be formed into an elite operator, capable of leading and closing high-stakes, high-ticket decisions with calm authority, and scale businesses without force or compromise… regardless of stakes, price point, industry, or medium.”

What this is
Doctrine, not tactics

SDCC (Subconscious-Driven, Conscious Closing) is the world’s first codified martial art of biological influence.—built around how the nervous system decides under pressure.

  • Widen doubt through mirrors, not manufactured urgency
  • Carry consequence with gravity, not shame
  • Transfer certainty without pressure leakage
  • Reveal investment without apology or negotiation posture
  • Lead rooms through state regulation before strategy
What this is not
No theatrics, no force
  • No pressure-based scripts
  • No scarcity games or persuasion tricks
  • No discounting to “save” a close
  • No ego-led leadership
  • No performance in place of posture

If you want loud tactics, this won’t fit. If you want clean certainty under stakes, you’re in the right place.

The paradox at the heart of mastery
Influence without influencing

You become the one who sequences conversations so precisely and leads state so fully that the only path visible feels inevitable—not forced, not sold, not negotiated. The decision resolves inside them without pressure leakage or identity fracture.

This is the Kenjutsu Close: the Invisible Close doctrine of the SDCC Way. If this feels like something you can’t quite name yet, that’s the point. The loop closes in conversation—under stakes—where posture, timing, and sequence are calibrated.

We place you into the right hall based on readiness, goals, and the stakes you operate under.

FAQ

Short answers. Clean posture.

Is this a sales call?
No. This is an arena assessment and placement conversation. If you’re accepted, you’ll be guided into the correct hall.
Who is this for?

Operators, founders, closers, physicians, healthcare leaders, and sales leaders who guide high-stake, high-ticket decisions and want to influence ethically, lead under pressure, and scale their businesses without losing themselves or discounting their authority — including coaches, consultants, creator-led founders, sales professionals, practice owners, and team leaders who want:

  • calm control of their state under pressure
  • conversations sequenced with clarity, not force
  • certainty that doesn’t crack when real stakes or high-ticket investments are revealed
  • leadership and influence that remains ethical, composed, and consistent


“If you lead rooms, guide decisions, or close high-ticket conversations where outcomes carry real weight, you belong here.”


Healthcare providers and practice leaders are included because medicine and patient leadership carry some of the highest-stakes decisions in any arena — and this dojo is built for conversations that must hold, guide, and resolve cleanly — in a way that doesn’t break you, the patient, or the practice/healthcare business while it grows..

We don’t just teach closing—we build full client acquisition and business scaling engines, especially for independent healthcare practices and businesses that serve the healthcare vertical, that want to grow without selling out, cutting corners, or burning out their teams.

This proof comes from building the systems, leading operations, and forming the sales team that produced record-setting healthcare startup growth(Inc. 5000 #1 Fastest-Growing Healthcare Company, #4 Overall + scaled additional 7- to 9-figure healthcare companies)—not from a single campaign or sales tactic.


Do you only teach closing and leadership, or do you also help scale companies and client acquisition?

We don’t just teach closing — and we don’t separate closing from leadership or client acquisition.

We build complete client acquisition and decision-leadership systems that allow founders, operators, physicians, and sales leaders to scale without pressure, shortcuts, or burnout.

That includes:

  • attracting the right prospects
  • converting interest into booked conversations or presentations
  • leading high-stakes decisions with calm authority
  • and scaling teams and revenue in a way that holds under pressure

This work applies across industries and business models — especially where trust, ethics, and long-term stewardship matter as much as growth.

Closing is not treated as a tactic.
It is the final expression of a system that begins long before the conversation — and holds at scale.

Do you work with martial arts instructors and dojo owners?

Yes — and this is one of the environments where our system fits most naturally.

The ExecHero Dojo is itself a modern martial art of influence and leadership, complete with clearly defined belt ranks, measurable skill progression, and ethical standards around how influence is applied.

We understand the unique challenge dojo owners face as they scale:

  • growth eventually requires hiring younger staff
  • those hires often have little to no sales experience
  • and there has historically been no ethical, structured system to train them quickly without pressure or manipulation

Until now.

Our system allows new team members to go from sales novice to calm, ethical, and effective under pressure in weeks — not months or years — because they are trained through a belt-ranked framework where progress is observable, skills are explicit, and advancement is earned.

Each level maps to:

  • specific communication and leadership skills
  • clearly defined influence competencies
  • measurable performance markers
  • and ethical boundaries that protect the dojo’s reputation and culture

This allows dojo owners to scale enrollment, retain integrity, and build leaders — not just salespeople.

It feels familiar to martial artists for a reason.
We train influence the same way martial arts train combat: with discipline, progression, and respect for power.

Is this a fit for boutique fitness studios and training facilities?

Yes — especially for studios where growth depends on trust, culture, and human connection.

Boutique fitness studios face a similar scaling challenge:

  • founders cannot handle every enrollment conversation forever
  • coaches are great at training, but not always trained to lead decisions
  • and traditional sales training often feels misaligned with the studio’s values

We solve this by training decision leadership, not sales scripts.

Your team learns how to:

  • hold calm authority in enrollment conversations
  • guide prospects without pressure or awkwardness
  • earn commitment through clarity instead of persuasion
  • and convert interest into membership without compromising culture

Because our system is biological and behavior-based, it works across price points, class formats, and training models — and it scales cleanly as your team grows.

The result:
more consistent enrollment, stronger team confidence, and a studio that grows without the founder being trapped in every sales conversation.

If I am accepted, what will we become?

We train the world’s first biological system of influence and leadership that holds under pressure — forming operators who can lead rooms, guide decisions, and close high-stakes, high-ticket conversations with calm authority.

We build:

  • sales leaders who lead organizations without force
  • founders who scale pipelines without identity fracture
  • physicians who earn trust in patient and client decisions through presence, sequence, and stewardship
  • dojo owners and martial arts instructors who scale enrollment and teams without compromising ethics or lineage
  • boutique fitness studio owners who grow membership through decision leadership, not pressure or sales theater

The outcome is measurable: stronger leadership, healthier pipelines, cleaner decisions, materially increased conversion rates (commonly 45–65% across trained teams and up to 80%+ for individuals committed to mastery), substantially higher cash collected per closed conversation (often 2× to 10×), and conversion that feels internal — not pushed — regardless of industry or price point.

Results vary based on experience, application, leadership environment, and adherence to the system. We do not promise outcomes — we train the conditions under which those outcomes become repeatable.

Why don’t your conversion rates decay over time?

Because we don’t just train tactics — we train decision leadership that holds under pressure.

Most sales systems see short-term spikes followed by decay because they rely on:

  • scripts without state control
  • techniques without identity alignment
  • urgency without consequence stewardship
  • and pressure that creates resistance over time

That approach eventually collapses trust, burns out teams, and forces discounting to maintain numbers.

Our work is different because conversion is treated as the byproduct of leadership, not the goal.

We train practitioners to:

  • regulate their state before leading any decision
  • diagnose belief and readiness in real time
  • sequence conversations so pressure never needs to be applied
  • guide decisions through consequence clarity instead of persuasion
  • operate from identity alignment rather than outcome attachment

When those conditions are present, conversion doesn’t spike and crash — it stabilizes and compounds.

Teams stop leaking authority. Leaders stop forcing urgency. Buyers stop resisting.

The result is conversion that remains consistent — and often improves — because trust, clarity, and leadership do not decay when pressure increases.

This is why our highest-performing operators don’t rely on constant retraining, new scripts, or artificial urgency.
They rely on posture, perception, and sequence that hold — regardless of market conditions.

What if I’m not accepted?
You’ll still leave with clarity on what’s missing and what to train next. The gate isn’t locked by permission—it’s governed by readiness.
Do I need your book first?
No. The call is the fastest way to calibrate your state, sequence, and next step. If a book supports your path, it can be offered after placement.
Why is the ExecHero Dojo modeled like a martial art?

Because that is how real skill has been transmitted safely for over a thousand years.

The ExecHero Dojo was deliberately modeled after traditional martial training systems — with clear ranks, observable progression, and ethical boundaries — because influence, like combat, becomes dangerous when taught without structure, discipline, or restraint.

Our founder, Rob Mitchell, previously owned and operated multiple martial arts dojos and was also introduced to sales and leadership responsibility at a very young age — long before most people are equipped to understand the weight of influence.

Being thrust into high-pressure conversations and leadership environments early teaches you two things quickly:

  • how powerful influence can be
  • and how easily it can be misused when there is no code governing it

The SDCC Way and the Dojo structure exist because influence deserves the same respect martial arts have always demanded: clear progression, earned authority, and responsibility before power.

This is why we don’t treat influence as a tactic.
We treat it as a discipline.

And disciplines are taught — not improvised.
