Outside Sales Representative interview questions

Interviewer: Good morning/afternoon! Thank you for coming in today. Can you start by telling me a little bit about yourself and your background in sales?

Candidate: Certainly. I have been in sales for the past five years, with a focus on outside sales. I have experience selling both tangible and intangible products and have worked with a variety of industries.

Interviewer: That's great to hear. Can you give an example of a successful sale you made in the past and how you accomplished it?

Candidate: One sale that I'm particularly proud of was when I sold a software package to a manufacturing company. I did a lot of research beforehand and was able to show them how the software could streamline their production process and save them time and money in the long run. They ended up signing on with us for a multi-year contract.

Interviewer: That's impressive. How do you go about finding and prospecting new clients?

Candidate: I use a combination of networking and cold calling. I attend industry events and trade shows to meet people and establish relationships. I also research companies in my target market and reach out to them via phone and email.
