Hone your elevator pitch. Improve your interview skills. Learn to negotiate and maximize your compensation.

XFN COACH

  • Learn the basics of negotiation and how to avoid making rookie mistakes before your phone screen. Apply your new skills in a role-play session with an expert.


    This is ideal for job seekers that are beginning their search or recently started taking phone screens for a new role. You’ll schedule 3 one-hour video conferencing sessions with your coach to discuss:

    • Negotiation philosophy, why it matters, and aligning our approach together

    • Mechanics of the interview process, recognizing tricks when interacting with recruiters, and how to avoid jeopardizing a strong negotiating position

    • Role-play with a coach to simulate phone screen and verbal offer conversations - you’ll receive real-time feedback, tips, and adjustments during the final session

  • We offer live and asynchronous elevator pitch reviews at XFN Coach. You receive ratings based on cadence, relevance, clarity, and other criteria used to measure performance. Once you receive your feedback, you may choose to continue practicing with a coach or send in another pre-recorded pitch for review.

    Here’s a good outline for a strong elevator pitch if you are starting to interview:

    • Greeting and state your name

    • Organization and title (if applicable) and your field of expertise

    • Up to 3 previous experiences that help explain your background (depending on time)

  • We provide live and asynchronous mock interview services at XFN Coach. Our FAANG/MANGA hiring managers have expertise that will help you during interviews. We understand the criteria that the most competitive companies use to select candidates. Customized interview or presentation feedback is available if you’re actively talking with recruiters or preparing for a specific role.

Meet Cody

After coaching a friend in 2017 on negotiating their job offer, I knew I had to continue inspiring others to secure their financial future and fulfill their personal goals. That’s why I founded XFN Coach. Since then, I have guided my clients on negotiating more than $1 million in aggregate compensation increases.

My 10+ years of leadership experience spans multiple industries - investments, HR systems, video production, advertising & tech, including 4 years at Meta with consistent ratings in the top 3% globally across senior managers.

Since I have built high performing teams of individual contributors and managers at Series A companies all the way up to Fortune 100 organizations, I understand what hiring managers seek and I can help you interview and negotiate with confidence to get what you deserve. I’m excited to take your career to the next level or prepare you for a new role - I hope we can connect soon!

  • Cody provided real-time feedback on how I could improve my approach on negotiations. He taught me best practices on what to do throughout interviews so I could maximize my offers. There was immediate ROI in my newest role.

  • I recently transitioned from an individual contributor to a manager role. It's valuable to talk to someone with experience about executive communications, managing up, and goal setting. My leadership skills grew exponentially with Cody's help.
