Any advice on how to best answer the โTell me a little about yourselfโ question during a sales interview? ๐ค

I always refer to the following formula:
Present:ย Talk a little bit about what your current role is, the scope of it, and perhaps a big recent accomplishment. Past:ย Tell the interviewer how you got there and/or mention previous experience thatโs relevant to the job and company youโre applying for. Future:ย Segue into what youโre looking to do next and why youโre interested in this gig (and a great fit for it, too).

This is fantastic. I also add a fun personal comment as well.ย
Thats some great advice! Thank you so much!
They're not really looking for you to talk a ton, they're looking to see how humbly you can brag and carry a conversation.ย
If you did a little bit of LI stalking first and noticed a commonality, great to include something you have in common with the interviewer! I've had some interviews feel like I got off to head start because of things as small as:
I once volunteered at a place they served on the board of;
We went to schools in the same conference and talked college ball;
Both previously worked in the same industry or role before moving to sales.
Good luck next time you take a swing at this!
