Every now and then, someone comes along and makes the subject of management both fun and insightful. That’s what Bill Matassoni has done in his memoir—a combination of compelling stories and contrarian substance—that covers his forty-year career selling what he calls “ephemeral things.” In addition to the memoir, Bill plays host to a series of videos that are entertaining, irreverent, and filled with his conviction that marketing is the primary driver of progress in both commercial and social markets. We will soon release Bill Matassoni's memoir and documentary series.

In this detailed episode we discuss the steps we took to achieve our unprecedented 80% McKinsey & BCG placement rate.
This means of all the clients we have admitted, 80% have joined McKinsey or BCG. The remaining 20% have joined other consulting firms, banks, PE, VC, technology firms etc.
Firmsconsulting mainly admits candidates with very challenging backgrounds. We seek out clients who have potential but have not always had the opportunity to realize that potential. Therefore, our very high placement rate is not due to having naturally stronger clients. We use advanced and proprietary teaching techniques to bring out the best in clients who are not an obvious fit for McKinsey. This episode will discuss some of those techniques.

Since this is the time of year when FC members are going to be negotiating salaries, attending case interviews and anxiously making decisions, we thought it is a good idea to once again reflect on ethics and values.
At times like these many sometimes feel that if they could just cut this corner now, everything will be OK... We want to provide some context for how to make decisions that will not only make you feel better in the long term, but will actually leave you better off financially.
In this episode we use some interesting anecdotes from Firmsconsulting to articulate these points.

Listen to how this bright and talented lady joined MBB Europe, while based in Africa, despite significant odds. She had no business background whatsoever, graduated from a non target school in a developing country, had never even heard of a consulting club and was previously rejected in the 1st round with MBB (MBB = McKinsey, BCG and Bain). She also experienced excessive discrimination in her home country and we discuss this fallout.
These are the kinds of clients in which Firmsconsulting specialiazes. Those with great potential but far from an easy path moving forward. If your background is not ideal listen to this client's story to see that everything is possible if you are disciplined and follow the right guidance.

In this 328th and new episode of the Case Interview & Management Consulting complimentary podcast, audio version, we discuss finding discrepancies with a partners' work as "hook" for a networking call. It is very common for aspiring consultants to read partners' articles to find flaws, in the hope of proving their critical thinking skills, and sharing this with the partner to secure a networking call. We explain what happens in these situations.
