I’ve helped thousands of people prepare for case interviews and land positions at the most prestigious consulting firms worldwide. But acing the interview is just the beginning. Once you’ve found a consulting job, how can you ensure that your career keeps moving forward?

I want to share with you this information about a great bundle of resources that I think will be helpful to you as you are working toward your professional goals. It’s called the Deluxe Consulting Toolkit, and it combines two of my most popular programs: the Ultimate Consulting Toolkit and How to Succeed in Management Consulting.

Clients are the lifeblood of the consulting business. As a result, your ability to manage clients will make or break your career in consulting.

When I was at McKinsey, I was in the top 10% of my class globally. I was nowhere close to the smartest 10%. McKinsey has some really smart people! However, I received the feedback that my client management skills were excellent. Though I was 22 years old at the time, I had the demeanor, gravitas, and interpersonal skills of someone twice my age. Because of this, the most difficult of clients came to trust me — and THAT is a vital outcome in a consulting career.

When clients see you as a trusted advisor, they ask you (and your firm) back for repeat engagements. This is good for your firm and your career. If you are in your first few years in consulting, and a client refuses to hire McKinsey unless YOU are on the team, this bodes well for your career. This happened in my second year at McKinsey and was likely one of the biggest factors in my being perceived as a rising star within McKinsey.

To understand how to earn a client’s trust, you must understand a client’s world from THEIR (not your) perspective. In my Ultimate Consultant Toolkit: Managing Clients and Engagements, I include over a dozen audio and video tutorials on developing a superior skill level in managing clients — including C-Level, senior clients, and difficult clients. My Toolkit will teach you what you need to know to understand a client’s world from their perspective, so you can effectively manage your engagements and ultimately become their trusted advisor.
