This PPT slide, part of the 32-slide How to Conduct Consulting Interviews PowerPoint presentation, focuses on the critical factors for effective positioning during interviews, emphasizing the importance of engaging the right participants. The central theme is that success hinges on convincing individuals to cooperate and actively participate in the process.

The first point, "Manage expectations," highlights the necessity of clearly communicating the interview's purpose and key topics. This sets the stage for participants, ensuring they understand what is expected and how they can contribute meaningfully.

Next, "Provide incentives" stresses the need to articulate the value of participation for interviewees. This could involve outlining benefits such as gaining insights, contributing to important decisions, or even personal recognition.

"Be organized" underscores the importance of meticulous planning and advance communication regarding logistics. This includes details like timing, location, and format, which can significantly impact participant engagement.

The phrase "Help them help you" suggests that providing preparatory materials can enhance the quality of the interview. This could involve sharing relevant background information or questions in advance, allowing participants to come prepared.

Lastly, "Provide reminders" indicates the value of follow-up communication a day or 2 before the interview. This serves to reinforce commitment and ensure that participants are still on board, minimizing the risk of last-minute cancellations.
