Since the nature of our business is a bit alien to most business people, we have created this basic guidance document as an attempt to help you wrap your brain around the selection of successful covert operations candidates.
A covert operative such as a Dark Lord or Mind Slayer requires some special personality traits and mental abilities. Although the methods exposed below will probably not sound very scientific, they are the result of recruiting successful candidates for over 25 years. Let’s get started.
Personal Identity
We have discovered over the years that there are two types of identity: professional and recreational. A quick look on a Twitter profile (or other social media profile) will usually tell you who you are dealing with.
If the profile starts, “Mother of 5, devoted wife and internet marketing guru”, then you have found a recreational identity. This person is all about who they are away from work or career.
If the profile starts, “Manager of operations for ___, avid people watcher, cynic …” then you have found a “professional” profile.
The easiest way to tell is this: recreational people talk about who they are to other people. Professional people talk about what they do. It really is that easy. We begin by assessing how the prospective recruit has created their identity. We seek professional identities. Recreational identities have proven to be a poor investment when it comes to covert operations. They tend to quit and pursue their other interests.
Looks and physical traits
Let me be clear here, 450 pound guys do not tend to make good operatives. Covert operations is all about thinking on your feet, paying minute attention to detail while not losing the big picture and having the ability to get people to feel at ease around you.
Although you do not have to be a super model, you should seek out people with a pleasant appearance that are in fair shape. They can be a bit overweight, but should not have thrown health away in their pursuit of junk food. Those people make better clerks and intelligence analysts – behind the scenes people.
The truth is, people are more comfortable around nice looking, pleasant people. Use this to your advantage and you will find huge success with your program.
Another rule when it comes to looks that we have discovered is this: the more athletic people tend to be more competitive, active in their careers and more aggressive. These are good traits for a covert operative.
Mental Skills
You don’t have to be a genius to be a good covert operative, but it helps. These people will need to memorize details quickly (we train that skill) and will need to multi-task their thinking. For instance, when they are persuading others, they need to be able to think about their persuasion activity and be able to listen/interact with the audience they are affecting.
The most tell tale trait here is the ability to carry on a clear and reasonably fast paced conversation. They should be able to keep up and contribute value to the conversation. They should seem “mentally sharp” or “bright”.
Personal Interests
This is a big one. The potential recruit should be interested in psychology, hypnosis, mind-control and/or spies. They should have a passion for being the best at what they do and crave abilities that are not for the “common man”. To put it bluntly, covert operatives tend to be a bit elitist. It is this specific trait that will prevent them from divulging confidential information even under torture.
Dark Lords and Mind Slayers are part of a very elite brotherhood and should take considerable pride in this. It is also a great way for you to control them because of your relationship as a sponsor, you have a direct line of communications with their brotherhood.
Lifestyle
This one is tricky. The candidate should want a rich lifestyle, but should not be out of control with it. It is easy for a Mind Slayer to pass their covert income off as an “Internet business” and we will show them how to set that up. We call it a “cover income” and it is a great excuse for them to live above their “pay level”. Basically, they work and support you, and they are paid as a regular employee. They get a second “compensating check” that is direct deposited for their covered operations. The compensating check is direct deposited into another account of theirs. Pay your spies well and you won’t regret it.
Commitment and Loyalty
Needless to say, you don’t want to train one of these people every six months. We suggest at least a three year contractual agreement if not longer. The right person will agree to a long term contract and will sincerely desire to deliver value to your organization.
Other matters
The recruit that you send for either Dark Lord or Mind Slayer training will be educated in corporate intelligence, personal combat and psychological manipulation skills as a minim course of study. They will be immersed in 45 days of training (six times for a Dark Lord) and will walk out of our programs ready to do their job. Dark Lords are trained incrementally so that they can implement the changes required in a natural progression. They have access to coaches throughout their program period and afterwards if they choose. Mind Slayers have access to coaches for 12 consecutive months or longer if they choose.
Additional coaching occurs through membership in one of our membership community programs.
Your Commitment
As a President or CEO, you must be committed to the program structure as outlined in “Dark Lords – The Power Within” if you desire the revenue and growth that a covert operation offers. As such, you will probably end up with several Mind Slayers critically positioned inside of your ranks and at least one Dark Lord serving you and your staff. This takes a commitment from you and enforcement of that commitment on your staff. Your Dark Lord will be able to help you strategize a process to get your staff under your power. After all, you will be the ruling crown royal of your organization soon.
You will be working closely with your Dark Lord and should be comfortable with them. They will be your dirty little secret and your shadow warrior when you need things to happen behind the scenes. They will interact with your Mind Slayers and keep all covers in place so that you and your people are protected.
