Here’s what you can expect from this episode:

Ever feel like you’re doing everything right… securing interviews at top SaaS companies, making it all the way to final rounds yet still walking away empty-handed? Here’s a hard truth – the gap between “great candidate” and “offer in hand” can be as small as a few overlooked interview habits. What if a couple of targeted changes could finally flip the script?

In this episode, I’m sharing a real client story. Cheryl, a talented mid-level CSM who was sick of getting glowing feedback but never the offer. We dive deep into her journey and reveal the three surprisingly small, but powerful, tweaks she made to her interview style that completely transformed her results. You’ll discover why your interview stories might be falling flat despite having impressive results, how to showcase your true leadership (even if you’re not a manager), and the exact way to steer conversations so interviewers see you as the solution they've been searching for. I’ll even share a before-and-after example of how Cheryl’s story went from forgettable to interview gold, and the practical, actionable framework you can apply to your next conversation.

If you’re tired of the endless interview cycle and ready to finally break through, this episode is your step-by-step playbook. You’ll walk away knowing how to instantly level-up your storytelling, sell your experience with confidence, and take back control of your interview narrative. So the next time you make it to the final round, you walk away with the job you deserve. 

Topics covered:

• Why getting to final round interviews without an offer often comes down to how you tell your story, not your experience
• The most common storytelling mistake Customer Success candidates make (and a simple framework for fixing it)
• The words and phrases that unintentionally downplay your leadership, plus how to instantly sound more senior
• How to steer interviews so you’re seen as a proactive, collaborative problem solver (not just another candidate)
• Real-life examples of small shifts that helped a client land a six-figure offer and a bigger title within weeks
