I know that your products are nation wide products and that they are just what people need the most.

No I don't have any experience as a promoter.

I hoped that I could satisfied and understand what customers'need and introduce the most suitable product to them.

Because am willing to go an extra mile to be an extravagant promoter.

Yup. Before this, I had do some research about the company background and the advantages of product produced by your company.

You may meet a lot of customers who may be stressed or angry. You should know how to tackle such situations.

When asked about this question, be confident to answer it. Give an example where you had to face a difficult person and describe how you handled him/her. Your answer should elaborate on your maturity and diplomatic skills.

The difference between indoor and outside sales are as follows :

☛ In outside sales, you need to travel to different places to meet the customers, whereas, in indoor sales, you need to work from the office.

☛ Your appearance counts in the outside sales, whereas, in indoor sales, you will have to interact with the customers through the telephone. Your appearance and body language does not matter but your manner of talking does.

When an organization aims for a specified amount of sales to be achieved within a specific time frame, it is known as target oriented sales. The harder you work, the more you achieve.

Every job has certain aspects that attract the interest of an employee. It depends on an individual and his interests. Building a strong team can be one of the most amazing aspects of an inside sales job. People who do not like traveling, this aspect will be important to them. So, it varies from person to person.

When a salesperson goes into the field to meet the potential customers to sell products, it is known as outside sales. It helps in maintaining a face-to-face relationship with the customers.

Tell the interviewer what made you apply for this job. It can be your interest in any area of sales. Provide proof that you are not simply attending the interview for the sake of getting a job. Make the interviewer feel that you are really interested in this job. For example, say that you like to interact with different kinds of people, and thus, you feel your communication skills will be helpful for this organization.

Suppose you met a celebrity during your outside sales process and you approached him/her. Give the details of your interaction with him/her i.e. how you introduced yourself, your organization and the product to the customer. Narrate the experience in a detailed manner.

All customers should be considered equal. There should not be any sort of bias while handling a customer. If a celebrity comes to purchase your product, remember, he too is a customer of yours.

Is the whole process of coming up with the idea of a certain product and being able to properly execute and sell out the details of the products to customers as a packagae.

Sales is the exchange of a product for money. It is also known as the action of selling. Whereas, marketing is all about communicating the value of a product or service to the customers.

All the jobs require a considerable amount of input. Both sales and marketing involve healthy communication skills. If you do your best, both the jobs will be easy to deal with. Thus, everything depends on your hard work and interest. You should love your job to achieve self satisfaction.

Every person has his/her own strengths and weaknesses. When asked about strengths, mention two or three skills related to your field. Describe how your strength can be helpful to the organization.

When asked about your weaknesses, do not hesitate to answer. Remember, no one is perfect in this world. Try to tell them about your weaknesses but you should make sure that the point is not an obstacle for you in getting the job.

Teams are considered to be the building blocks of an organization. Evaluating the performance of your team work is one of the biggest challenges.

There are certain ways through which you can appraise your team work.

☛ Conduct regular team meetings
☛ Establish one-to-one discussions frequently
☛ Provide feedback
☛ Avoid and resolve conflicts within the team
☛ Motivate your team and maintain order

You should have a clear and proper answer for this question. Tell them about the goals and objectives that you have set and achieved. It should give a picture of your mind. For example, your professional goals should be time management skills, learning new skills and achieving new targets. Cite examples from your personal life as well. For example, how your communication skills have bought out the best in you, etc.

Both salary and job designation are important in our career. Every organization follows a down to top posts level. For example, salesperson to sales manager, etc. With the change in job posts, your salary will also vary accordingly.

Money is not the ultimate goal of a job. You should be happy with your work in order to give a good output. Your salary will be based on your job designation and performance. Hence, you should give more concentration to your post.

This question is asked to know about your shortcomings. It is a very common question. You should also mention the ways by which you can deal with these shortcomings. This will also help the interviewer understand the areas where you require training and will also show your level of acceptance.

Accept the fact that no one is perfect in this world. It is not necessary that you will achieve success always. Every person meets failure at one point in their life. Some people might have pointed out your shortage of success a number of times. Success and failure are parts of our career and life. So do not underestimate yourself in case you meet a failure.

I see myself as a grown independent business individual.

Being enthusiastic. Being positive. Confidence. And a clear brief talker.

You should make yourself comfortable when you work under a team leader. He/She is one who provides directions or instructions to a group of individuals in order to achieve certain goals.

You will gain many benefits and knowledge while you work under a team leader. He/She will help you to rectify your mistakes. He will constantly guide you to achieve your goal by giving feedback every time. It will also help you know the role and responsibilities of a team leader. In future, you may become one.

My greatest weakness is the tendency of losing patient when failure takes place...I am currently learning how to be patient and have persistent.

Tell the interviewer about the qualities that you possess and which help you build a strong bond with the customers. The company would be interested to know the techniques or styles that you would apply to maintain good relations with your customers.

Maintaining relations with the new and the existing customers is not an easy task. You should never forget your old customers. They are the strength of your organization. Keeping good relations with your old customers would strengthen the organization.

Because I am positive minded about thus jib.
