Example if ou were interviewing for a sales position what traits of the applicant would stand out for you that would possibly lead to their hire?

• Answer:

  Sales is a rather simple field to get into and a rather difficult field to stay in. This is because the skills required seem easy but aren't. Here's what expert interviewers would look at - 1. Approachable and friendly personality 2. Good convincing skills 3. Expert negotiation skills 4. Customer management ability 5. Ability to generate new business 6. Open to travel and work odd hours to meet clients 7. Manage and motivate a team (depending on your job profile) 8. Ability to work in high pressure situations - deadlines and targets 9. Self motivator 10. Persistence Hope this helps and good luck!
