Your first impression should be one that creates a lasting impression and shows that you're good at what you're doing.

Using the Halo Effect, you create an initial positive impression that can influence the founderโ€™s overall perception of you, increasing your chances of landing the job.

It is a fascinating psychological technique that explored the natural tendency of founders to feel more connected and at ease with those who reflect their own behaviours or text patterns.

Mirroring works because founders are generally attracted to symmetry and casualy builds mutual trust and make the communication more effective and stronger.

Your founder is human, it's as simple as that

Your founder might be a 17yr old Indian or a renowned business man

Getting to know your founder on a deeper level might help you seal gigs.

โ˜ฏ Their public accounts
โ˜ฏ Their social life
โ˜ฏ Their hobbies (Can be music, can be lawn tennis, can be any sport)

When you research and find this you can use it to create scenarios and build deeper conversations with them apart from work conversations.

You can always be free and ask about their daily life or how their day went.

This builds trust and fosters easy communication.

I got to know that my founder was a renowned musician and I went deep into research to find his YouTube videos from when he was young.

Used it to mirror him and told him I played the guitar too.

We talked about it and had this bonding from it.

This eventually led to him proposing to over pay me if I deliver on my Job

Of course I'll deliver ๐ŸŒ๏ธ

Its not a myth that when someone does something for you,you feel strong internal need to reciprocate in some way

By offering something first,it could be a gesture of kindness,valuable information or work for free.

This can create an environment conducive to cooperation and structure social bond.

It does not only increase the likelihood of possible response but also nutures a virtuous cycle of giving and receiving.

It also enhancing interactions and communication with the founder

๐/๐: Should'nt look like a gesture for something in return but a genuine gesture from you to your founder.

Also, understanding the best moment to offer and how to do so in a way that resonates with the person is crucial to offer

You can always offer to work for free to gain experience from big utility projects and you might eventually get into their payroll.

I have a friend who has worked for two Utility trading projects for two years and be both started working for free for both and offered value.

The psychological principles that people tend to value more what is perceived as rare or at risk of becoming inaccessible is a phenomena.

The fear of loosing something valuable and significant influences founders decisions.

โžบ You increase the perceived value of your job offer

โžบ You encourage quicker and more secure action from the Dev

โžบ You create a sense of urgency and makes the offer seem more attractive

But remember the way to it's success lies in it's authenticity.
18
To apply scarcity effectively it is essential to communicate clearly the value of what is being offered, highlighting not just it's rarity but also why it is desirable and beneficial.

Focusing on the unsure features of a product,the exclusive benefit of an opportunity or the spectacular experience being made available

You make your offer not limited but also irresistibly valuable.

You're negotiating with a founder about joining their team as a marketer. You want to emphasize the unique value you bring and how your skills are in high demand.

Your step by step approach should look like this;

โ˜ฏ Highlighting your unique skills
โ˜ฏ Emphasizing on your limited availability
โ˜ฏ Creating a sense of urgency
โ˜ฏ Showcase previous results
โ˜ฏ Make your availability conditional
โ˜ฏ Propose a win - win situation for both parties

When you do all this you're certain your founder I already interested in you.

I've been fortunate to work with several innovative startups where my marketing strategies have consistently driven significant growth.

That's impressive. We definitely need that kind of expertise.

โž  ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ:

I appreciate that. I've had a few offers recently, given my track record, but your project stands out to me because of its potential.

However, I can only commit to one more project this quarter.

If we move forward, we can start implementing strategies that will set us apart from the competition immediately.

โž  ๐…๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ž๐ซ:

I see. What kind of results do you think we could realistically achieve?

Based on your current trajectory and my past successes, I believe we could triple your user base within four months with a targeted campaign.

Itโ€™s a unique opportunity for both of us, and Iโ€™m excited about the prospect of driving your vision forward.

Boom, Sealed ๐Ÿค

This approach leverages scarcity psychology by underscoring your unique value, limited availability, and the urgency to act quickly, making your offer more appealing to the founder.
