How To Network With Bankers And Get Referred For Interviews

What you’ll learn

Seven networking moves that get bankers to reply

• The “Get to Yes” outreach order. Why most students start with cold emails when they should be exhausting their warm leads first.
• When to network. Why most candidates reach out during the wrong time when bankers are busiest, and what to do instead.
• How to run a coffee chat that gets you referred. Why 90–95% of the conversation should be about the banker as a person, not the role.
• Questions every candidate asks (and why you shouldn’t). The cookie-cutter questions that make bankers internally roll their eyes, and what to ask instead.
• How to get bankers to reply to cold emails. What to put in the subject line and how to personalize so you get double-digit response rates.
• What to do after a coffee chat. The thank-you email, the follow-up cadence, and how to stay top of mind without being needy.
• Live case study breakdown. Walk through how one student went from cold outreach to multiple banking offers — the messages, the timing, what worked.

I built Banking Accelerator after watching too many smart students with the wrong playbook get passed over by banks they were obviously qualified for. Before this I was a J.P. Morgan investment banker and recruiting captain — the person on the other side of the resume stack deciding who got an interview.

Over the past few years I’ve mentored 100+ students into investment banking offers, many from non-target schools. In this free class I’ll walk you through the exact networking system we use — the same one that’s getting bankers to reply to cold emails and refer my students for interviews.
