Hiring a Salesperson – November 17th, 2007

When making a hiring decision have you ever wondered if you’ll ever find that perfect recruit? It is amazing to me that when posting a position I have received such a great deal of variety and lack of qualification from the candidates. I truly wonder how many people actually read the job description. Thinking about questions similar to the following can carry you a long way during the interview process. Here are some example questions:

  • What do you think are the most important skills in succeeding in sales?
  • What do you like and dislike about the products or services you’re selling now and why?
  • What attracts you to the <your industry> industry?
  • Describe one or two of the most difficult challenges and/ or rejections you’ve faced in the past and how you responded?
