90 days. 100 calls a day. One jungle. Up at 5am. Train at the waterfall. Shoot a film. Dial. Every day you make a cinematic, film-quality video for one founder, the kind agencies charge thousands for. Eight people live and sell together in the mountains of Rio de Janeiro state, led by an elite fitness trainer, racing for the top of one board: the most money closed. Every day is filmed.
Apply for a seat See the productMost people learn sales from videos. You'll learn it by making nearly 8,000 calls in 90 days, getting told no a few thousand times, and closing real deals for real money, with seven other people trying to beat you.
You sell for Dependables: finished websites, growth plans and ad packages we build for consumer brands before anyone asks. Every account you call already has its build live. You close it, you get paid the same commission as every rep on our sales team. See exactly what you sell ↓
You leave with a body that can handle a 14-hour day, a call count most reps won't hit in a year, and a number on a board you can show any hiring manager.
We can't promise money. We can promise the 90 days. Here's what they're built to change.
| Day 1 | Day 90 | |
|---|---|---|
| Mornings | Alarm, snooze, phone | Up at 5:00, trained by 7:00 |
| The phone | Dread making one call | About 7,700 calls made |
| "No" | Ruins your afternoon | Means "next dial" |
| The pitch | Read off a script | Your own opener, tested on real founders |
| Your body | Whatever it is now | 90 mornings of training and clean food |
| Your proof | A résumé | 90 days of real numbers, on camera |
The stipend is fixed. Commission depends on what you close and is never guaranteed.
Before you ever call a founder, Dependables has already rebuilt their website, written their growth plan and made 20+ ads for them. You call with the finished thing. Here's the real work, real screenshots.
Puzzle console. A brand page turned into one hook, one offer, one button.
Pet food. Retail and online collapsed into one path: pick a plan, see the price per day, subscribe.
Watch bands. A catalogue turned into a hook and a single offer.
And more
A sample from recent packages for consumer brands. Tap any one to open it.
For brands where volume is the lever, Dependables runs a creator program: ten creators posting daily, briefed and managed. This is the engine behind Tabs Chocolate. These view counts are campaign results, not seller earnings.
"Site looks amazing, let's chat." "Love the initiative." "I love what you did here." Real screenshots, names removed, from Danilo's own outreach. Some came back within minutes.
Your book of accounts, each build, replies, calls and your commission statement. This is a live demo with a week-three account. Click around; nothing is sent or charged.
Dependables is one team that runs creator programs, email and SMS, ads and landing pages for funded consumer and software brands. You sell four services to founders and heads of growth. Your commission is on the profit from whatever they sign up for.
The real seat behind it sales.meetthedependables.comWhat the team has done before
Every other sales email asks a founder for a meeting. Yours shows them something finished. Before you ever contact a brand, Dependables has already built five things for it, live at its own web address:
A direct-response page at theirname.meetthedependables.com. One hook, one offer, one decision. Live, on their phone.
Where their next customers come from: segments, positioning, channels, written for their business.
The first five days of work, Monday to Friday, so nothing is theoretical.
Angle, hook and creative idea for each, enough for a first month of testing.
Where volume is the lever: ten creators posting daily, the same engine behind Tabs.
Real builds you can open right now
Unsolicited concept work. No affiliation with or endorsement by these brands is implied. brand OKs or blurred logos before the show airs
Never enterprise companies, agencies or side projects with no revenue. Each company belongs to one seller at a time, so nobody else in the house can call your accounts.
Anna, I work with Danilo at meetthedependables. We build sites and growth plans for consumer brands. I liked WowCube enough that we just went ahead and built you one:
It's live. There's a growth plan, a week-one plan and 20+ ad concepts on there as well. Nothing behind a form.
If it's sharper than what you've got now, I'd take 20 minutes to walk you through it. If it isn't, tell me where it's wrong.
Real build, illustrative sender. Founders who got emails like this replied with things like "Love the initiative," "Site looks amazing, let's chat" and "I booked a time to connect tomorrow."
At home, a rep on this seat spends their time on one thing: the conversation. In the jungle you do the same, plus the phone, 100 times a day. Here's every step of a deal and who does it.
Jungle Closers sellers are paid exactly like anyone on the Dependables sales team:
The team-building override on the regular sales seat is not part of Jungle Closers. You earn on what you sell, never on recruiting anyone.
| Account's monthly profit | Your 25% over 12 months | + sale bonus |
|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $7,500 | $1,250 |
| $5,000 | $15,000 | $2,500 |
| $7,500 | $22,500 | $3,750 |
Illustrative examples, not real payouts. Most accounts are expected to make $2,500–$7,500 a month in profit; that's an estimate from pricing the work, not a track record. Commission paid over 12 months keeps coming after you fly home.
Brazil runs one to two hours ahead of New York, so the call blocks land in US business hours. Mornings are for the body. Afternoons are for the phone. Nights are for the board.
Sundays: one recovery day. Hike, swim, sleep. The phones stay off.
Calls are the volume. Whale videos are the precision. Over the 90 days each fellow sends 250 personal videos to the best accounts we give them, their own whale list: 1 a day at first, 4 a day by the end. Every one starts with research until they find the one personal detail that matters, then a 60 to 120 second film shot on location in the jungle.
The bar is cinematic. Planned shots, real light, clean audio, a story, color and music: the standard top creative-outbound agencies deliver for one whale at a time. You make one every day, and by the end, four. You either learn to edit them yourself or learn to hire, brief and manage editors who cut them for you. Both are skills you keep. who pays editors TBD
The video walks the founder through the new site Dependables already built for them, ties it to that personal detail, and asks for 20 minutes. Edited and sent before the board. Across 8 fellows, that's about 2,000 whale outbounds.
Fellows are trained on Claude for the research, scripts, editing and follow-ups, and on the craft of the whale video itself, by a video coach on the property every day. coach being hired
Public information only, honest about who you are, and nothing about a prospect goes on the show without their written OK.
No film crew does this for you. You make every whale film yourself, with your own phone, a shared kit and a partner, coached by the program lead.
Bring an iPhone 15 Pro or newer, or a recent flagship Android. It shoots the film.
We provide wireless lav mics, gimbals, LED lights and tripods, shared by the house.
Fellows shoot in pairs. One talks, one films, then you swap. No selfies.
The waterfall, the porch and the sales room, lit once and ready every morning.
Learn the product cold: open every build, learn the menu. Mornings of objection drills and role-play. Calls start day two at 40 a day and climb to 100 by the end of week two.
Full 100 a day. First 20-minute calls, first proposals. Every call reviewed the same evening. The board starts to separate.
Your own opening line, your own book. Bigger accounts open up as you close, because sellers move up tiers on results.
Last push, final read-out on day 90, and a written record of your numbers: calls, meetings, closes, revenue.
Jungle Closers is filmed like a reality show. The program lead films the whole thing: the 5am cold water, the dials, the hang-ups, the first close, the nights the board doesn't move.
A new video goes up on YouTube every day, filmed and edited by the program lead, so people back home can follow the board in real time. channel TBD
You leave with a film of yourself getting good at the hardest skill in business. Most people's résumé is a PDF. Yours is a season.
18:30 every night. The board, read out loud, on camera.
One-on-one, straight to camera, after the hard days and the good ones.
Your side of real sales calls. Prospects are never filmed or named without their written OK.
Training with the host at the waterfall, from the first day to the last.
The board ranks one thing: money closed. Calls and meetings are shown so everyone can see the work behind the number, but the rank is cash.
Commission is yours whatever your rank. The board just tells you, every night, where you stand against seven people who also got up at 5.
Top of the board on day 90 wins prize TBD.
Who it is stays a surprise. You find out when you land in Sana, at 5am on day one.
The host is the program lead and runs Jungle Closers with Danilo, the founder: the 5am wake-up, the training, the food, the house, the no-excuses part. They also coach every whale film, and they film the program themselves: a new video goes up on YouTube every day of the 90. Dependables runs the sales room: the accounts, the scripts, the call reviews and the closes.
Sana is a small mountain village in the Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica, Brazil's coastal rainforest), up a winding serra road above Casimiro de Abreu and Macaé. Rivers, waterfalls, jungle on every side. You live, work and train on the land, 15 minutes up the road from the village. The fellows get the whole house; we move out for the 90 days.
| Where | On the land, 15 minutes by car from the village. |
|---|---|
| Room | Shared bunk rooms. The whole cohort lives together. |
| Sales room | A room in the house with desks, headsets and its own internet line Starlink + backup TBD |
| Meals | Three meals a day from a local cook cook TBD |
| Getting to training | Walk out the door. The river is on the land. |










Phone coverage in Sana is patchy and there's none at the waterfalls. The sales room at the house runs on its own line. Buy a Brazilian SIM at the airport (bring your passport).
Casimiro de Abreu, 20 minutes away: pharmacy, supermarket, cash machines, petrol and the nearest clinic. Weekly runs for anything you need.
Summer (December to March) is around 30°C and humid, with heavy rain most afternoons that then clears. Bring light, quick-drying clothes and repellent.
Cards work almost everywhere, but bring some cash for the village, where card machines drop with the signal. Brazil pays with Pix, which needs a local account.
Type N sockets, 127 V in Rio state, so check your chargers. Don't drink the tap water. Filtered water is free on the land.
Sana is rural and safe. Rio needs normal city caution. Rivers here can flood suddenly after rain upstream, so nobody swims after upstream rain or after dark, and a lifeguard is at every water session. Medical and evacuation insurance is included. The CDC recommends the yellow fever vaccine for Rio de Janeiro state.
Leg one: fly to Brazil. Almost everyone should fly into Rio (GIG). It has the most international connections.
Leg two: up the serra. We pick you up. The road is winding, slow and beautiful, and worse in rain. Don't plan to drive it yourself, tired or at night. Land in daylight if you can.
Fellows come in on Brazil's digital nomad visa (VITEM XIV), made for people working remotely for a company abroad. Your fellowship stipend is the foreign income it asks for. We send you an employer letter and a checklist, and you apply at the Brazilian consulate. Your passport should be valid for at least six months. route confirmed with Brazilian counsel
| Airport | Flights | Drive to Sana |
|---|---|---|
| Rio — GIG | Most international connections | 2 h |
| Campos — CAW | Domestic, few | 1 h 50 min |
| Macaé — MEA | Domestic, fewest | 1 h |
Drive times measured, last checked October 2026.

Because we want the hungriest people, not the ones who can afford a seat. We make our money when you close deals, and from the show.
No. You need to be willing to make 100 calls a day and be told no most of the time. The first two weeks are mostly drills.
$1,500 a month in stipend for sure, plus commission on what you close, which nobody can promise. This is the first cohort. Some people may close several deals; some may close none.
Creator programs, email and SMS, static ads and landing pages from Dependables, sold to founders and heads of growth at funded consumer brands, mostly in the US. Every account already has a site, growth plan and 20+ ads built for it. You sell to companies outside Brazil. Full detail in What you sell.
Yes. Being filmed is part of the program, and you sign a release before you fly. You can ask for one scene a week to be cut, and nothing is filmed in bedrooms or bathrooms.
No. Weeks one and two teach you the menu and the builds until you can explain them cold. On the call your job is the conversation, not the strategy. Delivery is done by the Dependables team.
It keeps paying. Commission runs for 12 months on every account you close, paid quarterly, as long as the client stays.
