Okay but how can you suggest to improve the team if you don’t know what the team is lacking or what the current pain points are 🧐

Agree with the comments above. Sounds like either a trick question or it’s one of those small local agencies that has zero idea what they’re doing. Things like this are often a red flag.

Start with the process of questions. Show your thinking.
Then say in your experience these are the three common issues on client services.
These are the three ways to tackle them.

The second one, what would you ask the client?

Based on the two questions above they are looking to see your process and your experience. Good luck.
