BCG Real Life - Examples for client / partner emails

Hi everyone,

I am currently preparing for the BCG Real Life interviews. I know that you will possibly be asked to write an email to a client or a (senior) partner of the firm.

I was wondering whether you have some ideas for topics that these emails might have (really no need for real BCG examples, just trying to understand the scope of the task better). For example, I could think of:

  • Partner: Executive summary
  • Client: Convince them of something
  • Partner/Client: Postpone something 

Do you have more ideas based on your experience with preparing candidates for the second round?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi there,

Those are good ideas! Here are some others:

  • Scheduling a workshop
  • Client issue response
  • Client issue escalation
  • Project issue flagging
  • Decision to be made - need to ask for decision
  • Project update

Hi there, 

it can be anything:

- refusing a request for more work from client as it is not part of the scope

- Gauge client interest

- Organize a meeting with the client after the pitch

-….

If you would like help with the prep let me know, I am experienced Project leader at BCG and have a lot of experience with this. 

Good luck!

Lucie
