Below are questions to ask based on their personality result:

Persistent:

  1. When prospecting, how do you build rapport quickly?

  2. A prospective customer wants you to bend the rules and then you can secure the sale. What do you do?

  4. What was your most recent team experience like?

  5. Which of your skills need more improvement as a salesperson?

  6. Tell me about a time you needed to set boundaries with someone (co-worker, customer) Why did you need to set them and what were they?

  7. How do you stay motivated to keep making sales calls when you continue hearing “no” from prospects?
