Coming from a company where 30% of reps hit quota. If you hit 50% you're considered a good rep. How do you explain not hitting quota in a sales interview?

How do you explain not hitting quota in a job Interview?

You just did
Nailed it
I would use better language, like “I’ve been a consistent performer” or “in the top % of performers on team”….accomplish the same goal without having to touch on actual % to target
Yes. Keep it positive yet honest.
Quota is a social construct
Maximise strengths, minimise weaknesses. You could use it as an example of showing learning and adaptability eg "I missed quota one time. I realised I had these gaps. By doing X Y and Z my results increased."
I’m not sure this can really be verified.
Why are you even talking about not hitting quota in a job interview?
I’m pretty sure the correct answer here is you lie. Cuz no ones ever lied on a resume or job interview before…..
Why do you have to tell them you didn't hit it, white lies never hurt. If not just be honest and explain what happened.
