Better Profitability Cases: 3 Alternative Revenue Models To Impress In Your Case Interviews
If you've found this video helpful, you're gonna LOVE our free course at https://www.craftingcases.com/freecourse -- click the link for more info. ** Learning Frameworks is by far the most important part of your case interview preparation, especially if you're focusing on the top firms: McKinsey, BCG and Bain. Everyone solves profitability cases the same way. As with anything case interview related, there's no inherent problem in that, except when everyone's doing the wrong way. And that's surprisingly common among candidates. Real consultants from McKinsey, Bain or BCG rarely break down revenues into Price * Quantity. Instead, they break it down using a formula that respects the business model of their client. And so should you, in your case interviews. In this video I'm going to show you 3 alternative ways to break down revenues that are really really common in cases. Just by being aware of these and knowing when to use them (as I show in the video), you're going to stand out from other candidates right at the start of the case. You can use the same kind of reasoning to other types of cases, such as market entry cases, M&A cases and others. Tell me in the comments if you've liked this video and what you've liked about it.
