We’ve all heard about client delight. Perhaps we’ve experienced it ourselves from time to time, and we’d like to think we deliver it to our clients. But do we? Consistently? Fortunately, with clients (and toddlers!) small gestures make a big difference. Delivering excellent results, which I assume you do already, creates satisfied clients, but not delighted ones.

To the uninitiated, the case interview can be more than a little bit terrifying. The main point of the case interview is to provide you with an opportunity to show the interviewer the great job you’d do if they hired you today and set you straight to work. Here at Management Consulted, we have thousands of hours of experience in this area because we were established and run by MBB consultants, AND we do 1000s of case interviews a year.

The startups in question are privately held, meaning that the founders and early stage investors own shares in the companies, but shares have not yet been offered for sale to members of the public.

We were in Bozeman, MT for a few days last summer and it coincided with the 20-mile long Bridger Ridge Run. We found out this when hiking the College M, a trail from a small park to the “M,” a letter M about 100 feet long made out of white rocks, about 1,000 feet up a hill, and viewable for miles. As we started our hike the final runners were coming in, along with event staff sweeping the run.

We take our dogs for a walk almost every day. One thing figured out a long time ago is micro-to-small sized dogs get very aggressive when they see other dogs. So much so I’d guess 80% of the time their owners pull them off to the side, as they know what’s going to happen. Very considerate of them. However, it’s what happens next that’s the real issue.

A couple of weeks ago, my son was involved in a car accident. Most importantly, no one was hurt but the car suffered extensive damage. Because the accident was caused by a mechanical failure, I've been trying to get a response from the warranty company to determine whether they will cover any of the repair costs. I'm still waiting to hear back, which is pretty pathetic in an age when customers expect to receive prompt support.
