You Don't Need Another Lecture.
You Need Live Drills.
You don't need more information. You need reps. One day, in one room, drilling real objections under real pressure until the skill is actually yours.
No overflow room. No livestream. No replay. When the fiftieth ticket sells, this page becomes a waitlist.

How Many Sales Books Have You Read
That Changed Nothing?
You highlighted it. You agreed with it. You told someone about it. Then Monday came and you did exactly what you always do.
"That's not how people get better. They get better by drilling. Practicing objections, handling pressure in person, because that's what an actual sales conversation feels like."
ConvoDojo LIVE is the opposite of a lecture. It's music, not silence. It's action, not analysis. It's the room, not the recording.
What Does One Bad Conversation
Actually Cost You?
Not the deal you never had a shot at. The one that was yours right up until the moment somebody asked you something you weren't ready for.
You knew the product. You knew the pitch. What you didn't have was the reflex. So you defended instead of asking, and you watched a live one go cold in real time.
If Nothing Changes
- You hear "let me think about it" and you say "sure, no problem," and you never find out what they were actually thinking about.
- The price question still makes your voice tip up at the end like you're asking permission.
- You know exactly what you should have said. You always know. About four hours later.
- You pitch harder when you should be asking, because pitching is the thing you've practiced.
- You read another book, write another note, and next Monday looks exactly like this one.
After One Day in the Dojo
- The objection lands and your first move is a question, not a defense. Because you've run it forty times.
- Pressure stops registering as panic. Your pulse goes up and your voice stays flat.
- You've already said the hard thing out loud, in front of people, with a timer running. The real call is easier than the drill.
- You leave with reps you can run on your own team Thursday morning.
- Monday feels different, because the reflex is different. That's the only thing that ever actually changes a number.
Skill Doesn't Come From Understanding.
It Comes From Reps Under Pressure.
Nobody learned to fight by watching fight footage. You learn by getting hit, on purpose, by someone who is not trying to hurt you.
So the room is built louder and faster than any sales call you will ever take. Music going. Whistles. A clock. Someone throwing an objection at you before you've finished the last one. Train at that intensity for a day and a normal Tuesday call feels like it's happening in slow motion. That is the whole design.
Live Objection Drills
Real pushback thrown at you in real time. Price, timing, "I need to talk to my partner," the silent stall. Not a script you memorize and forget by Monday.
Gamified Pressure
Dodgeballs. Whistles. Music. Timers. A room built to raise your heart rate, because that is exactly what a real sales conversation does to it.
Speaking in Questions
The core ConvoControl skill, drilled under load until it fires on its own. Not something you have to remember to do halfway through a call.
What Happens,
Hour By Hour.
Doors at 8:45. We start at 9:00 sharp. You are on your feet for most of it.
Doors and Check-In
Coffee, name on the board, and you find out who you're drilling against first. No icebreakers, no introductions circle.
The Question Reflex
We start on time. The warm-up teaches the one move the whole day is built on: answering a statement with a question that moves the conversation instead of defending it. Then you run it until it stops feeling weird.
Live Objection Drills
Rotating pairs. You get hit with real objections on a clock and you handle them out loud. Then you swap and throw them. Learning to throw the punch teaches you to see it coming.
Lunch Break VIP & White Belt
VIP and White Belt eat with Tara, lunch provided, real deals on the table. General Admission heads out to grab their own and meets back in the room.
Pressure Rounds
This is the part people talk about afterward. Dodgeballs, whistles, music, noise, a shrinking clock. You hold the conversation together anyway. Composure is a trainable skill and this is where you train it.
Hot Seats
Live coaching in front of the room on a real deal you're stuck on. White Belt tickets are guaranteed a hot seat. Everyone else learns from watching someone get taken apart and put back together.
The Close Drill
Everything stacked together. Full conversation, start to close, under pressure, no notes. This is the rep you take home.
Main Event Ends
Belts, photos, and the part where people swap numbers with whoever has been throwing objections at them all day.
The VIP Session VIP & White Belt
Smaller room, no whistles. This is where you bring the deal you didn't want to say out loud in front of fifty people.
White Belt Dinner White Belt
Dinner with Tara and the rest of the White Belts. Restaurant to be announced. Small table, long conversation, no agenda.
What's Actually
In the Ticket.
Every ticket gets the full day. The higher levels get more of Tara, and they get the kit.
The Full Day of Live Training
All five rounds, 9:00 to 3:00, every drill start to finish. Not a keynote with a Q and A stapled on. You are drilling for most of the day.
Dozens of Reps, Out Loud, In Front of People
The thing you cannot get from a book, a course, or a recording. You will say the hard sentence more times in one day than you have all year.
The Drill Kit VIP +
A backpack, a ball, and a pen. The actual gear used in the drills, yours to take home and run the same rounds with your own team.
A Signed Copy of Questions Close Deals VIP +
Signed on the day, so the drills you just ran have somewhere to live afterward.
Members Hub Access: Audiobook and Ebook VIP +
Questions Close Deals in your ears on the drive home and on your screen the same night. Both live in your members hub account.
Members Hub Access: The Gamified Drill Deck VIP +
The digital deck Tara runs the room with. Wheels, combos, drill cards and a timer, so the pressure rounds don't end when the day does.
Lunch With Tara, Plus the 4:00 VIP Session VIP +
Lunch is provided for VIP and White Belt only. Then the smaller room at 4:00, where the real questions come out.
The 310-Page Workbook White Belt
The print companion to Questions Close Deals. 310 pages of drills and exercises that turn the book into reps. This is what keeps the day working after the room empties out.
A Guaranteed Hot Seat White Belt
Live coaching with Tara in front of the room, on your real deal, plus a private recording of it so you can watch yourself do the thing you thought you couldn't do.
Dinner With Tara White Belt
5:00 to 6:00, restaurant to be announced. The smallest table of the day and the one people remember.
A 30-Minute 1:1 After the Event White Belt
Because the week after is where most training quietly dies. This is the call that stops that happening.
The Physical White Belt White Belt
Front-row seat, first pick in every drill pairing, and the belt itself. Rank one. Everyone starts somewhere.
The Room Only Works
At Fifty.
This is not a conference. Nobody sits in the back and takes notes. If the room gets bigger, the training stops working.
Every Seat Is a Rep
Drills run in pairs and rotations. Past fifty people the rotations break and you stop being a participant. You become an audience member.
One Day, No Replay
There's no recording, no catch-up link, no "next Wednesday." What happens in that room happens once, and you're either in it or you're not.
Zero Seats Added
Fifty is the cap, not the target. Nobody gets squeezed in at the door. When the last ticket sells, the rest of the list waits for the next city.
Is This Actually
For You?
Fifty seats is not many. Take one only if you're the first column.
Come If
- You have to get a yes out of another human being to get paid, whatever your title says.
- You've read the books, you know the theory, and it still deserts you the second someone pushes back.
- You'd rather be uncomfortable for a day than mediocre for another quarter.
- You lead a team and you want reps you can actually run with them, not a slide deck to forward.
- You're willing to be bad at something in front of strangers for a few hours.
Skip It If
- You want to sit, listen, and leave with a workbook. There's a keynote for that and it costs less.
- You need the recording, because there isn't one.
- You already know how every drill will go before you've run it.
- You're looking for scripts to memorize. Scripts break the moment somebody goes off script, which is always.

Tara Shuler
Tara is the author of Questions Close Deals and the creator of the ConvoControl system. She runs all of it: the books, the ConvoDojo membership, the live events, the coaching, and on-site corporate training.
ConvoControl exists because most people wing their most important conversations and lose them. Her answer was to stop treating conversation as a personality trait and start treating it as a trained skill, drilled like an athlete until control becomes reflex.
Execution over theory. Training over talent. The person who controls the conversation controls the outcome, and control is trained, not born. ConvoDojo LIVE is that argument turned into a room.
The Questions
Everybody Asks.
Is lunch included?
For VIP and White Belt, yes. Lunch is provided and you eat with Tara.
For General Admission, no. There's a break at 11:45 and you grab your own nearby or bring it with you. We'll send food options with the venue details.
I'm not in sales. Is this for me?
When was the last time you needed another person to say yes to you? A budget, a hire, a raise, a deadline, a teenager, a contract renewal. That's a sales conversation, whatever it says on your business card.
The room is a mix. Closers, founders, account managers, team leads, and people who just got tired of losing arguments they were right about.
I've been selling for fifteen years. Is this beginner stuff?
It's not information, it's reps. Fighters with twenty years in still drill the basics, because the basics are what fall apart under pressure, not the fancy stuff.
If you're experienced, you'll spend less time learning the move and more time in the pressure rounds discovering which of your habits only work when the other person is being polite.
$99 feels like a lot for one day.
What's one deal worth to you? Not your biggest one. An average one.
If the day changes how you handle a single objection you currently fold on, the math is not close. And if you're weighing $99 against a full day of your time, the time is the expensive part. Spend it somewhere it compounds.
What's the difference between VIP and White Belt?
VIP gets you fed, kitted and coached in a smaller room. Lunch with Tara, the drill kit, the signed book, hub access to the audiobook, the ebook and the gamified deck, and the 4:00 VIP session.
White Belt gets you everything in VIP, plus the 310-page workbook, plus the things that don't scale: a guaranteed hot seat with a private recording, dinner with Tara at 5:00, a 30-minute 1:1 after the event, front row, first pick in every pairing, and the belt. There are very few of these on purpose.
What if I freeze in front of everyone?
You will. Everyone does, somewhere around round two. That's not the failure mode, that's the training.
Nobody is sitting there watching you, because everybody is drilling at the same time. It's loud, it's fast, and there is no audience. Freezing here is free. Freezing on a live call is not.
Is it recorded? Can I get the replay?
No, and that's on purpose. You cannot get a rep from a recording, so there's nothing to record. The value is in the room.
White Belt tickets get a private recording of their own hot seat, and that's the only footage that leaves the building.
What should I wear?
Something you can move in. Sneakers. There are dodgeballs and you'll be on your feet for a lot of the day. Nobody is wearing a suit.
Can I bring my team?
Yes, and it's the best way to do it, because you go back with a shared language and reps you can run together on Thursday.
Book the seats before they go. For four or more, email [email protected] first and we'll sort the group out.
Where exactly in Tampa?
The venue is being finalized and everyone who has a ticket gets the address by email the moment it's locked, along with parking and arrival details. The White Belt dinner restaurant will be announced at the same time.
What if something comes up and I can't make it?
Up to October 1st, send someone in your place. Email [email protected] with their name and we'll swap it over, no charge.
After October 1st the seat is locked. The room is capped at fifty and by then we've turned people away to hold it for you, so we can't resell it that late.
Tickets are non-refundable. If something genuinely serious happens, email us anyway and we'll talk about moving you to the next city.
You Already Know
What You'd Say Better.
The gap isn't knowledge. It's the four hours between the conversation and the moment the right question finally shows up in your head. One day in the room closes that gap.
Fifty seats. No replay. No door sale.
