Episode 184 – From Interview to Offer: How Executives Win the Final Mile

You’ve made it to the final interview.

You’ve had the conversations. You’ve built rapport. You’re “under serious consideration.”

So… why do so many qualified executives still walk away without an offer?

In this episode of Success By Design, Tim Madden breaks down the critical mistakes that happen in the final stretch of the interview process—and what top-performing leaders do differently to seal the deal.

If you’ve ever thought:

• “I keep getting close… but nothing lands.”
• “They seemed excited. Why didn’t they choose me?”
• “How do I create a sense of urgency around hiring me?”

This episode gives you the answer.

Inside the episode:

• The real reason strong candidates lose momentum in final-round interviews
• How to communicate value in the “offer stage” without sounding desperate
• Why confidence, clarity, and follow-through matter more than ever in the last mile
• The subtle behaviors that signal you’re ready to lead—not just land the job

If you’re tired of falling short at the finish line, this is your playbook for turning final interviews into firm offers.
