Why it worked

The video uses a high-stakes, relatable narrative (job hunting) combined with a 'show, don't tell' demonstration of a product's capability, making the promotion feel like a natural part of a success story.

Summary

Hello? Hi, is this David? Speaking. Hi, David. My name is Liz, and I know you're not expecting my call, but I just submitted my application for the software engineering role about an hour ago, and I wanted to reach out before my resume just becomes another one in the pile. Do you have 30 seconds to chat? Sure, go ahead. Amazing. I promise I'll be quick. I've been following your team and building in the fine tech space for about two years now. And honestly, the infrastructure work that you've been doing is the exact kind of problem that I wanna solve. But I didn't wanna just send a C.V. And hope for the best, so I actually built something. Built something? Yeah, I used a platform called CTO dot new. It's an A.I. Tool that builds entire businesses and tools from scratch. I described the customer facing loan calculator, tailored it to your product and built the whole front end, back end logic. And I went in and customised the code myself to match the existing tech stack. I can send it over right now if you wanna see it. You built a tool for our product to apply for a job? Yeah, I figured the portfolio piece anyone can submit wasn't just gonna cut it. I wanted to show you exactly how I think and work, not just tell you. Okay, I'll be honest. That's not something I've seen before. Send it over already. On its way. And I would love to walk you through it. If you'd be open for a quick call in about 20 minutes on Thursday, I can break it down and build a decision on why I made. Yeah, let's do it. Thursday works perfect. Talk to you soon. Perfect. Talk to you soon David, thank you so much for picking up.
