Auditor Sales Interview Question:

Tell me what do you think are the most important skills for sales success?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Put a number on the skills so that you can structure your sales interview answer around this. For example:

"I think the 3 most important sales skills are ..."

Rather than referring to specific sales techniques focus on competencies and abilities that every successful salesperson needs, such as:

☛ the ability to adjust your approach to different people and situations
☛ the ability to ask the right questions and listen carefully
☛ the ability to deal with disappointment and rejection
☛ the ability to stay motivated with a high energy level
☛ the ability to plan and prepare
☛ the ability to influence and persuade
☛ the ability to negotiate and reach agreement
