TIPS
• ROUNDING: what guidelines are there? Where and when to round?
• MARKET SHARE/STR: always be specific and mention exact numbers/indices.
• BOOKING PACE: double check the question, make sure to work with the right segment and right year.
• DISPLACMENT: make sure you do what’s asked ( “base your answers on revenue”, don’t use CM).
• ACCOUNT VALUE: propensity is almost never to be used - only if you can’t get to total year figures
• DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS: know the difference channel contribution % VS channel efficiency %.
• DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS: use the correct rates (net vs gross) for wholesalers.
• PRICE ELASTICITY: double-check the sign.
