The interviewer is testing to see how well you understand management consulting, and what makes a firm successful. Whether you are newer to the industry, or you have many years of experience already, you should have a full understanding of the goals and targets within management consulting. Some of the most critical KPIs may be:
- Number of leads generated
- Number of clients
- Customer acquisition percentage
- Average fee per hour
- Repeat business rate
One KPI that you should never forget to mention is 'Client Satisfaction Rate'! Discuss with the interviewer what you believe to be the most important metrics for a management consulting firm to consider.

"I believe that the most critical KPIs to consider is the repeat business rate. This metric is directly associated with client satisfaction, and will tell a consultant or agency a lot about their business and likeability factor."

"In my opinion, the most critical KPI to consider is the number of leads generated. Without an active pipeline of business, there is nothing else to consider really! Once you start with a healthy leads list, the next KPI to consider would be the customer acquisition percentage."
