Sales representatives represent organisations and sell their products and services to members of the target audience. When you interview for a sales representative position, it is likely that you will be asked questions relating to the soft and hard skills needed to succeed in sales, as well as your previous sales experience.
Here are three top sales representative interview questions and tips on how to answer them:
How to answer: A salesperson must be able to self-motivate, especially after dealing with rejection or challenging sales situations. In your answer, talk about what motivates you to succeed and helps you to keep going in your efforts. Examples of motivators include personal and professional goals, passion for the product or service and financial stability.
How to answer: Working in sales may involve collaborating with a team or working independently. An interviewer asks this question to determine whether your work style aligns with how the position will work. You may research the company culture and work environment prior to the interview to point out the specifics of the organisation and its atmosphere that work for you.
How to answer: A question about building rapport allows you to demonstrate your sales skills. Examples include effective communication, listening skills and making connections. Use the STAR (situation, action, task, result) method to describe a particular situation in which you built a strong rapport with a prospect.
