Below are questions to ask based on their personality result:

Sales Person:

  1. What skills identify you as a strong sales representative?

  2. Describe when you convinced a reluctant customer to purchase a product. How did you do it?

  3. Give me three adjectives that a friend would use to describe you.

  4. Do you prefer inside sales or outside sales? Why?

  5. We provide sales leads, but that won’t always be enough. What steps will you take to generate leads for yourself?

  6. What do you do to improve your sales skills?

  7. Tell me about a mistake you made in a previous position. What did you do? What did you learn from it?
