Just finished my most intense selling session

As the title says, I just finished talking to the candidate, who had a lot of concerns before joining the company. I answered basically every point they brought and in the end they told me "Before the call I was going to say no as I discussed with my wife, but now I want to take a few hours to think".  5 minutes ago I received a massage saying the candidate is accepting my offer. I'm sitting in front of my computer with my t-shirt that is still wet and my mind thinking what to do next - basically how to celebrate  (I'm in GMT+3, so it is 00:43) - so any tips and tricks are welcome!

What made him change his mind? I'd celebrate with a cold drink!

Congrats, has to feel good.

Pour a fine whiskey and sit back - sounds like you've deserved it.

If @Kinonez and yourself were in the same place it would be great. I'd agree and love that cold drink. And also several shots.

I asked directly about candidate’s concerns and addressed that. The main concern was around company’s current state and I shared some internal statistics and graphs so the candidate understood the company is actually in a very good position
