Best Answer:
Have you researched the company? At least one question will be about the company. Another question will be something along the lines of why do you think you'll be an asset to their corporation. Also, why do you want to work for the company. What are your personal goals. Since I don't know what kind of sales job it is or anything about the company, I can't exactly give you situational questions. Since you obviously know what kind of company it is, imagine you are making a sale; start from the beginning. Now, all throughout the scenario, you're going to have a really hard sell/obnoxious person/whatever as your customer. Go through the scenario and imagine what that person could do to make your life difficult. Write those down. It would be good if you could do it for a few different personality types. The more scenarios you come up with to practice, the better. Then you can either go through each one in order, or if you want to, you could pull them out of a hat. Just practice how you would handle each of those situations. If you run out of ideas for difficult customers, just turn on the tv, it should give you plenty of ideas. Sorry I couldn't help you more. Good Luck!
