Hi, how do you transition from meeting and getting a business card from a BA/AC/SAC to asking them to practice case interviews with you? Thank you

Hi there,
From my point of view, the best time to ask is at the same time as receiving a business card.
When I was going through interviews, I did this more than a few times and never got turned down - if the person sees potential in you, they are inclined to give you a chance to practice! It is also much harder to turn down an offer in person than it is over email.
