Sales Interview Questions

As a sales representative, your ability to speak to clients has a large impact on the company’s profits. Great interpersonal, listening, and marketing skills are all essential. As sales reps often encounter skeptical or difficult customers, employers will be looking to assess your ability to present a product with ease, counter objections, and bounce back from rejection. Be prepared to give a convincing sales pitch on one of the company's products or role-play a situation in which you have to persuade difficult customer.

This was an interactive interview. Although there were questions, the interview was alternative to the common place HR driven variety. I was asked to write a response to a potentially huge customer on behalf of a C level executive. This was a real-life situation and it tested my ability to think on my feet, listen and craft an articulate, simple and info. packed response. I was asked to give an example of "doing the right thing". Moreover, I was asked to interact with different employees in different departments to accomplish small tasks. Additionally, I played the role of a Technical Support Specialist and responded to a mock call with an upset customer calling in.
