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.
