Your materials are the foundation. Here is what comes after.

Hey there, Joseph here again.


By now you have the formula. You have the three GPTs. If you have run even one case study through the Portfolio Coach, you already know how fast the impact rewrite goes.


The portfolio, the resume, the LinkedIn profile. Those are your foundation. The GPTs will get you there. That part is handled.


But here is what I keep seeing with experienced designers. The materials are strong. The search still stalls. Because the materials are not the bottleneck.


The bottleneck is the channel.


Most senior designers are still applying through job boards. Tailoring applications. Waiting for recruiters to find them. And the response rate at that level is brutal. Maybe 2 to 5% if you are lucky.


There is another way in. Not the front door where you are standing in line with 200 other applicants. Not the referral queue where your name lands on a recruiter's desk but not the hiring manager's. The back door. Direct conversations with hiring managers before the role is posted. Before the shortlist is built. You are already in the room when the decision gets made.


That is what The Backdoor teaches.


How to find the right people at your target companies. How to write outreach that gets a 20 to 30% response rate. How to turn those conversations into job opportunities without it feeling like selling. How to interview with confidence because you already showed them how you think. How to negotiate $15K to $50K above the first offer.


Six weeks. 1:1 with me. No training to watch. No modules to complete. You show up to the call, we build your materials, we write your outreach, we prep your interviews. Between calls you spend another three to five hours a week on the work. Whether you have a kid, you are currently employed, or you are searching full time, the system fits.


I restructured the entire program to be pure 1:1. Maximum contact time with me. Maximum speed to results. Six sessions. Six weeks. That is it.

$1,997. Or 2 payments of $1,097, 30 days apart. Pays back inside the first month from the raise alone.


Your workshop ticket includes a $200 credit. Valid until 25 May.
