Sales Representative Interview Overview

Sales Representative interviews assess your ability to generate revenue through effective prospecting, relationship building, and closing skills. Expect behavioral questions about your sales approach, role-play scenarios demonstrating your selling skills, and discussions about your track record of quota attainment. Interviewers evaluate your communication skills, resilience, coachability, and competitive drive. You'll need to demonstrate consultative selling abilities, objection handling expertise, and a proven process for building and managing pipeline.
