I am of the belief that sales reps will have to be more consultants than sales ppl in the future (maybe even now).
With buyers having more knowledge before they talk to us, they want to talk to someone who knows their stuff and can guide them, not just push a sale.
So if you were a hiring manager/ director, what questions would you ask during and interview to make sure you are getting a solid rep and not some Saas bro who jus pushes product???
Questions I have thought of so far:
- How would you describe what your job is as a sales person?
- If an inbound lead tells you they know exactly what they want, how would you move forward?
- What is one deal that you won that you are most proud of?
What else should I add??
