Sales Interviewing
Phrases Every Sales Interviewer Wants to Hear
As a headhunter, I've seen all types of both positive and negative sales interviewing tactics, blunders and poorly written follow-up e-mails.
However, whether many of these interviewing aspects are positive or negative is entirely subjective.
An interview answer that feels off to one recruiting party may seem like the perfect answer to the other.
Pinpointing some of these positive phrases and making sure the interviewer likes what you have to say can be quite difficult.
Even so, regardless of who the person is sitting across the table, the following should working like a charm and should get you staffed by the company of your choice.
The "Prove Yourself Method
"I am not so concerned about the base salary right now.
Instead, I want to look into the future and align myself with a company that is progressive in nature and that will set me up to be able to sell effectively and to the point that I am happy with my income."
"I consider myself somebody who has a strong hunter mentality, but who can seamlessly sell and manage existing accounts quite effectively and competitively with most other sales professionals in the field."
"I understand that my purpose in being recruited by your organization is to sell enough to where the company as well as my career begins to grow in tandem." More Sales Interview Phrases
