Continental is one of the largest manufacturers of auto parts and accessories in the world. As such, they have refined the process they use to sell to the consumer. This is an opportunity to talk to the interviewer about any exposure you have had in sales. AS you discuss the steps it takes to move a client to the point of sale, be energetic and friendly as if the interviewer were a customer. Show your ability to be more than just an order taker.

"Because every customer is at a different place, a good salesperson must meet them where they are at. Some might need answers to questions. Others might know exactly what they want. I try to listen and assess what each guest needs to help them find the right part efficiently and effectively. Then, as I help, I want to upsell by suggesting other related parts they might not have considered. Now, the company I am at always awards the top-performer, and I was consistently at the top every month. I look forward to bringing that same energy to my work at Continental."
