Interview Questions

Small Market AE

Hmm. Interesting indeed. I had a VP use the “teach me something” on my interview as well; fantastic way to get how someone can relate information to a layperson. Great sales skill to have

I taught the hiring manager how to walk and pageant pose. It was fun and I got the job.

Very good skill. I think that question caught me so off guard that I bombed it lol!

“I only hire people with a chip on their shoulder. What’s your chip?”

My first job they wouldn’t reassign me to sales because they said I would never be able to do it. Since then, I have 8 years of Sales experience.

Odd.

I've never been asked the last two. How did you answer?

On the underestimated I was told that I couldn't do sales, 8 years later I've generated a little over 5M in revenue.

Over estimated - I don't really listen to the praise. I just show up and do what I'm supposed to do.

Man. I had the “teach me something” question too for my SDR interview. Pressure was on because I just told him I was a teacher for 5 years prior before getting into sales. Looking back at it, it’s probably a good question to test how candidates think on their feet

That’s roughly what she was driving at, also just how we convey New information to people.

I love the first question

“Tell me about a time you failed”

That's easy to turn around into a success story.

100% agree. But I'm still amazed by the amount of people who stumble over it.
