Recruiting pools are closing. That is not a reason to stop practicing. It is the best reason to start building reps for next year's cycle while the bar is still fresh in your head.

Most candidates wait until applications open, then cram. Interviewers can hear the cram. Steady weekly practice beats a panic month.

What to do in the next 30 days

1. Two voice drills a week under a timer (framework out loud in 90 seconds, then one branch with so-whats).
2. One full case a week with a crisp recommendation and the biggest risk named.
3. One calculate block (mental math + market sizing) until pace feels automatic.

A simple weekly scorecard

• Did I speak a framework without writing first?
• Did every number get a fact, meaning, decision?
• Could I defend the recommendation if the interviewer pushed back?

If those three are yes most weeks, you are already ahead of next year's pool.
