Why this program is different

Read the review below and keep in mind that the offer was for the most competitive McKinsey office in the world during a recession for a candidate with a non-business background, who was able to outshine all MBAs and business professionals due to the value of my coaching program.

 

 

• Get a top consulting job from a non-target school?
• Get into McKinsey, BCG, and Bain with no business background?
• Make interviewers wonder how quickly were able to solve a case?
• Skip interview rounds and move directly to the offer?
• Dominate a whole interview round as a peer group?

 

These are not outlier cases; with my clients, this is the standard.

The 1% Method Coaching Program

• includes everything you need to score multiple top-tier consulting offers, not just coaching but a full suite of products;
• is totally risk-free for you (read more details below);
• comes at a 58% discount (the real total value based on products and services included is $3753 but priced at just $1599), which is less than 50% of your first-month salary in consulting.

I am eager and dedicated to assisting you on your journey to securing multiple offers from top-tier firms. If you are interested in learning more about the program and why I can offer this package, read on or contact me directly for your free introduction call.

Outline of the Program

The program itself encompasses 5 adaptable, non-timed sessions tailored to your individual needs, including real top-tier consulting-style cases, real (McKinsey) interviewer feedback and evaluation standards, fit interview simulations, and ultra-detailed debriefs, problem-solving and story-telling teaching, as well as detailed preparation plans and progress tracking.

Additionally, you receive more than 10 hours of self-study video course content, guidebooks specifically crafted to help you ace all consulting aptitude tests, high-quality courses and drills for structuring, chart, and math, and a rich collection of nearly 1,000 practice cases.

This is all supplemented with my continuous mentorship to facilitate your ongoing learning and improvement before, in-between, and after our sessions as well as the inclusion into my private coaching group of equally motivated case candidates.

The guidebooks and video courses incorporated in the program are some of the most sought-after and the most realistic practice materials on the market.

 

 

The Value of the Program Rests on 7 Pillars

✅ An immediate transformation: From our very first session, you’ll get everything crucial. There’s no slogging through basics. We start strong, setting you on the right track immediately. You will learn everything you need to know to become a strong case solver already in the first session. We do not wait until the third session to cover a specific topic. The sooner you know how to work through whole cases, the more effective your preparation will be going forward. That is also why the initial sessions usually last much longer than 60 minutes. Everyone starts at a different baseline and I want to meet you at your current level and automatically lift you to a level that most case interviewees will never reach during their prep.

 

 

✅ Impact Over Time: Let numbers do the talking. Compare the offers I’ve secured with this program for my clients in relation to sessions and my active coaching time. If someone produces 300 offers over 10 years, that would be just 30 offers per year. Time and experience in this market are worth nothing if it does not align with consistent tangible results. I have delivered more than 450 offers for my clients through direct coaching in just 3 years.

 

✅ Resources Tailored for Top Consultants: Say goodbye to endless online searches and practicing with questionable resources. I’ve created the most realistic practice materials on the market, ensuring every moment you spend in self-practice is with the industry’s best, most up-to-date resources and drills. The resources are so sought after, that they are used by other case coaches to train their students.

 

✅ I’m Here for You, Not the Clock: I don’t keep an eye on the time but on your progress. Our sessions last until every question is answered, and every topic is thoroughly covered. You set the pace, I provide the guidance. This also applies to times outside of sessions when you need ad-hoc support.

 

✅ Practice with the Champions: I’ll introduce you to a community of top-tier aspiring consultants. When you practice, you’ll do it among the best, ensuring you’re always challenged and improving.

 

✅ Direct & Genuine Feedback: My feedback is straightforward and honest. I give you the real interviewer’s perspective, focusing on tangible improvements, not just empty praise that gets you nowhere.

 

✅ Standing on a Legacy of Proven Expertise: Over a million applicants and new hires have benefited from my books and platform. Two authoritative books on consulting careers and case interviews stand testament to my expertise in the field.

100% Risk-Free Coaching Guarantee

I understand that diving into a coaching program is a significant decision. That’s why I’ve designed my offering to be completely risk-free for you. Here’s how:

1. Introduction Call: Before you make a commitment, set up a no-obligation introduction call. Discuss your questions, gauge the program’s fit, and ensure it aligns with your goals. Also, from my side, it is important to make sure that I see a good fit.
2. Adaptive Pace: Your comfort and progress is paramount. Whether you’re in a rush to complete sessions within 4 days (been there and done that with a successful offer) or wish to space them out over 3 months (or even longer), the program molds to fit your schedule.
3. Tailored Experience: Don’t settle for a one-size-fits-all approach. Our sessions are always customized to provide you with the best value at the right time, ensuring they address your unique needs and concerns.
4. Value Guarantee: After the first session, if you feel you didn’t derive significant value from the coaching, you can cancel the remainder of the program, no questions asked. It’s that straightforward. No one has cancelled the program since its inception and I am striving hard to keep it that way and keep you satisfied.

Your career trajectory is too important to leave to chance. With my risk-free coaching program, you’re not just getting guidance; you’re getting a promise of genuine, tangible results.

Sample Program Outline (tailored to each client)

My coaching philosophy emphasizes immediate, comprehensive guidance. In our very first session, I provide you with all the essential information. This ensures that as we progress, each session focuses on refining and enhancing your performance. There’s no holding back or waiting for subsequent sessions to introduce critical elements – you’ll have everything you need from the outset. 

This approach not only facilitates a noticeable transformation right in our initial meeting but also ensures that your practice is effective and efficient right from the start. Furthermore, after our initial session, you’ll gain complete access to all practice resources and my coaching network.

Imagine our case journey like sculpting: the first session is akin to chiseling the basic shape from stone. With each subsequent session, we meticulously refine and detail, eventually polishing your performance.

Moreover, there’s no need for separate sessions dedicated to specific case types. Instead, in every session, we focus on intuitive and replicable problem-solving employed by consultants by going through representative and realistic case problems and the most effective strategies for addressing them.

We repeat the process with your other two stories. You receive a 3-page PEI template that you can use for every PEI story going forward with a focus on content, structure, and communication.

As one of my clients phrased it:

“I just got an offer from Mckinsey! Florian’s instructions are the MOST constructive ones that I have ever seen in my 100 + case practices. I institutionalized his advice into my practice and reached a new level. […] I will give Florian a 10/10 rating!”

 

About Me

Like you, I’ve been through the challenging phases of consulting interviews (once for internships and once for full-time roles). Despite rigorous preparation, I often felt inadequately prepared, some cases went well, others didn’t, and I had a hard time figuring out why. This struggle that I also witnessed across my peer group became my motivation to change the landscape of consulting recruiting and interview training completely.

I envisioned a new approach to consulting interviews and once I left McKinsey in early 2020, I built StrategyCase and everything it entails into what it is today.

I noticed that the information on the top-tier consulting application process, the case interviews, the fit and PEI, and the different aptitude tests and games that is often circulated is either wrong, outdated, or assumed to be the same for any consulting firm. Consequently, the advice given can be detrimental to your recruiting success with the top firms.

I’m your go-to McKinsey consultant for cracking the enigmatic case and fit interview code. With a deep-seated passion for this competitive industry, I’ve made it my mission to usher aspiring consultants into the big leagues – McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and other reputable firms.

Over the past three years, I’ve developed and perfected a unique case interview approach, resulting in more than 450 consulting offers for my clients. Of these, a remarkable 160 were from McKinsey, notoriously the toughest firm to crack, based on a study by Forbes. My innovative strategies and relentless dedication have proven time and again to yield successful outcomes, substantiating my reputation as the most successful McKinsey case coach on the web.

Over the last three years, I have built a consulting application and career platform as a beacon of knowledge and guidance, having reached more than 1 million consultant applicants and new hires. With my relentless coaching and mentoring, I am leading numerous candidates month after month to secure coveted offers from top-tier consulting firms.

Beyond just coaching, I’ve also penned two insightful books: ‘The 1%: Conquer Your Consulting Case Interview’ and ‘Consulting Career Secrets’. The first has achieved Amazon best-seller status for new case interview books, while the second serves as an extensive guide to thriving in the challenging environment of high-caliber consulting firms.

My engagement with consulting is not confined to coaching or writing. I recently launched my own boutique consulting and advisory firm, keeping me directly involved in the consulting world as well as recruitment and interviewing processes. This hands-on experience allows me to provide you with insights and advice grounded in the current industry landscape, offering unparalleled relevance and value.

In essence, my mission is to make your consulting dreams come true. Leveraging my expertise, invaluable resources, and unwavering commitment to your success, I stand ready to lead you into the esteemed world of consulting. Together, we’ll conquer the challenges, honing your problem-solving skills to unlock your full potential and secure your place among the consulting elite.

If you are not looking for a coach or just need some free text-based advice, feel free to shoot me a message and ask for advice. I have learned a lot in this industry and I want to pay it forward!

If you are in the market for a coach, please reach out for a mutual introduction and quick learning session.
