Below are questions to ask based on their personality result:

Knowledgeable:

  1. Tell me about a time when you weren’t provided guidelines/rules/processes for work. What did you do? How did you resolve it?

  2. Tell me about a time your manager wasn’t satisfied with the results of your work. How did you discuss the issues? What did you do differently the next time?

  3. How do you prioritize your tasks and responsibilities during the day?

  4. How would you deal with an angry customer? At what point would you bring in your manager?

  5. Give me an example of a time your customer wanted to cancel their service because the competition was cheaper. Were you able to save the deal? How?

  6. How do you handle negative feedback?

  7. Tell me about your experience with telephone sales or sales in general. Tell me about your goals and whether or not you achieved them.
