Leonardo Oliveira: I need help figuring out how to approach a unit production manager working on Markiplier's film.
- Five approaches in outreach:
- Peer-to-Peer: Connect as equals by sharing similar career goals and obstacles.
- Expert: Seek guidance, understand their story, and invite insights to help navigate your own challenges.
- Mentor: Elevate an existing relationship into mentorship by asking for continued support and perspective.
- Advocate: Focus on solving the gatekeeper’s problems, so your advocate can recommend you to the real decision-maker.
- Gatekeeper: Make it about their problems and present yourself as the solution that delivers results.
- Choose the advocate approach: show how you solve Markiplier’s problems so Adrian sees value in passing you along.Â
- Keep outreach short, focused, and framed around the stage of production, specifically, offering fresh perspective for marketing and trailers.
- Emphasize emotional results on your narrative thread.
