Make it specific. Make them feel that you wrote
that letter for them
Enough about you. You have already talked
about yourself, skillsets, experience. This is no
longer the time for it.

common thread in your
application process so
far? Deniz Sasal

13. Let me tell you what that is;
It’s you who is getting something from “them”
It’s you who asks and them who gives.
It’s you who wants the job.
It’s you who needs this role.
14. it’s supposed to be a relationship. Like a
first date. It wouldn’t be fun if your date is
the one who constantly asks for things,
would it?
“
15. It’s about value exchange. So far in the
application process, what have you given
the interviewer that added value to his
life? Are they a better person now after
having met you? Did you open their eyes
to ‘something’? Did they know “one more
thing” now, having met you?
“
16. Yes, maybe they need a new team player
in their organization, but they don’t need
someone who “takes” as much as “gives”.
These are all subconscious messages.
17. “so, this is what I
suggest…

18. I suggest you leverage 3 of the 6 influence
triggers from Robert Cialdini. In simple
terms, he says in order to get “YES” you
need: reciprocity, social proof,
commitment and consistency, liking,
authority, and scarcity.
19. “let’s dive deep into
reciprocity

20. Reciprocity is when you give something to
someone for free, especially if it’s of high
value, then they want to reciprocate. They
feel like they want to do something back
for you. In simple terms, you add value to
that hiring manager’s life with - be it a
research paper, an event attendance,
gifting a book through Amazon, whatever
it is, and they feel like they need to
reciprocate.
21. “this is a subconscious
process… They don’t go
about “Jane gave me this
event attendance so let me
hire her” No! But
subconsciously, they like
you now

22. Now, you need to do
a bit of research to
establish reciprocity;
You need to go to
your best friend;
Google and research
a potential ethical
bribe that will add
value to the hiring
manager’s life.
23. You need to spend a lot of time
finding the ultimate ethical bribe
that is worthy enough to share.
What good is it going to give you
if you send out a link to a crappy
article? It’s going to hurt your
chances more than it will help.
“
24. A couple of tips for your research;
Make sure it’s a reputable source. I suggest you can look for
articles from PwC, other big four, or major consulting companies.
Pretty much all consulting firms have thought leadership articles
in a particular topic. These articles are, to start with free, and
incredibly valuable. I know I have taken part in developing a
couple of thought leadership pieces with PwC and you can’t
imagine the resources we commit to delivering these documents
for public use. They are immense
While searching, write the company name + topic + pdf. Most of
those thought leadership pieces are in pdf format. It will help you
generate more quality results very quickly.
25. Once you finish your initial research, I
need you to create something similar to
below and fill it out with at least 10
options.
26. Once you finish your list, start
empathizing…
If I am on the receiving end of this content,
will it make me better educated, more
informed, more intellectual, smarter, or will
it yield more opportunities?
If you can answer “Yes” to any of these
questions, then you are on the right track.

be cool. Be enthusiastic and show it. Who knows, maybe he is about to sign your 6 figure offer]
Once again, thank you for considering me for this wonderful opportunity. I am confident I will be very successful with
your leadership.
Having said that, I took the initiative to research more about [Ethical Bribe] and thought to share with you [The content].
I have gone through it and found it really informative when it comes to [This. Talk a bit more about that content here and
tell them why it’s great]. ***You may please find attached [the EB]
