Your interviewer is trying to gauge your professional communication style, experience, and skill level. The sales environment at CarMax is fast-paced. How you answer will reveal whether you are an active listener who can identify your customer's pain points and needs, as well as your negotiation and persuasion skills. "At CarMax, we ensure customers can buy the vehicles they want in a way that suits them. That demands a special kind of sales consultant: one who takes time to build relationships with customers to understand their true needs." Describe your communication approach with clients and those you collaborate with on your teams.

"I am energetic and positive in the way I communicate with others. One of my strengths is taking the information a guest shares with me and helping them recognize the value of what we offer. Sales involve persuasion. I can communicate well without being pushy or making others feel uncomfortable."
