So spend time familiarizing how CarMax approaches this through their branding, and identify keywords from their website that you could incorporate into your answer, such as Caring, Coming Together, Helping Others, Integrity, Transparency, and Doing What's Right.

"I have always believed when a client initially declines, it is because the salesperson did not build enough value in the product they were presenting. I take rejection as an opportunity to reassess what they need so that I can present a fresh approach to them. I am not afraid to ask for the sale more than once if needed."

"I believe in staying in contact with my clients even after they have made their purchase. Since no one knows what the future holds, they might need a vehicle sooner than they anticipate, and when they do, I want them to think of me. In my previous job, I always sent out thank you cards right after the sale and sent texts regularly to ensure they were happy with our service."
