What is/should be today's version of "Sell me this pen"?

"Convince me to read the privacy policy"
I see what you did there, and I like it 😆
Find me a salesperson who can do this consistently!
Love that approach 😀🙏
“Whew, didn’t know you’d trust just anybody’s word...”
next?
next?
Love this lol
The most recent one I got was "pick an app on your phone and convince me to download it" which seems like the modern day "sell me this pen".
In our SDR interviews, we send over a product walkthrough and script, and do a short role play, and throw in an objection.

This is a good one!
Love the app comparison. That's fantastic.
like this one!
Stealing this one for my new BDR hiring round I'm about to run
Sell me this overpriced piece-of-shit Apple Pencil.
Now i get why the marketing guys at Apple make a lot of money!
lol
I don't have an iPad. Is it really that bad?
It’s quite sharp and makes a good weapon. As a note taking device it sucks. Pens, pencils and note books are just better. Speech to text is better. Typing is better.
I hate Apple; they made me buy one. That’s some funky marketing foo they’ve got. Now I know to go to the Apple store and say, “sell me this Apple Pencil!” Just to watch them squirm.

It is so worth it lol
Generic $25 pencil from AMZN works like a charm on my iPad :D
Convince me to buy Dogecoin at 60 cents
Damn, beat me to it Tommy Boy
"Convince me I need Youtube Premium"
I'd use this if i hated the candidate! :D
😂 An easy way to set someone up for failure
that one would be a tough on IMO
Amen!
I still think "sell me this pen" is relevant. If people can't answer something that simple then how will they answer something even more sophisticated?
Fair enough. But that is somehow associated with an older school of thought. Not sure why tbh.
Convince me the marketing managers parents are proud of them
Hahahahhaha! I'd love to hear the story behind this
I wish there was a specific story, I just meant any marketer in general!
Unsubscribe-
Ok, make them resubscribe
Ok, make them resubscribe
Hahahaha. Takes the cake!
Why you need onboarding.
Still the pen.
Interesting. Tried and tested!
Convince me that a mullet should be the new professional standard in hairdos
This is tougher than selling youtube premium!
By far! Sad day when a candidate turns the question back on me LOL. "Hey, I don't know either-you're hired."

My favourite interview question is “What’s the purpose of the International Space Station and why is it worth $250B ? “
The answer will uncover every human & biz fibre of the interviewee.

No matter what's the question, your last sentence makes everyone respect it 😎

"You are welcome to unsubscribe"
What is the correlated success with any of these approaches and long term agent work outcomes?
I doubt that anyone looked at hiring this way. At least in sales.
I never really understood why anyone ever thought this was a good question, even when I had my own sales team and had to interview candidates.
I have always sold using the consultative approach and I wanted people who did the same on my team. I don't need someone to fact dump a bunch of bullshit about how great a pen is on me, who cares? Last type of person I'd want to hire for a serious sales position. The question doesn't have any context of need.

Trial pitch - "I am a VP at xyz company, this is the product we sell, you have 5 minutes to prepare and then pitch me"
"Convince me smoothly (and respectfully) for a hookup?"
PS: It is actually selling yourself :)
