A quote I heard today

In any sales presentation, you win in the first 5 minutes. After that, its all about whether the client will engage more, or disconnect more. You have to give him the nouget and confidence in that first 5 minutes.

Hi Sampath,

I stumbled upon your blog and coincidentally, am very interested in making a career move to strategy consulting(aren't we all :).
Well,I am doing an MBA(exec/2yrs/I'm in the 2nd yr) from Middlesex University,London, have really enjoyed the marketing/strategy modules so far, and have a fashion merchandising background. I have been wanting to make a move and find out more about my chances for Strategy as a career though I understand the BCG's and the Booz Hamilton's hire only from top B Schools.
My email is rash78042@yahoo.co.uk and I'd be grateful if you could offer some advise

Thanks a lot
Rashmi
