Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, says, "Numbers will never compensate for talent." The act of sales requires the ability to read a customer and respond appropriately so that you can persuade the customer to the point of purchase. The interviewer is trying to assess if you can handle this part of the position. Think about how you have had to adapt on your toes in a previous job and relate your ability to think on your feet. Reassure the interviewer that you can perform.

"I like structure, but I can adapt pretty quickly. I love the structure of sales, but I know that customers do not follow our scripts. That is why I have had to learn different closing techniques. I try to meet the guest where they are and then help move them closer to purchasing a car."

"I would say that I am a little of both. I have had to adapt to being able to persuade customers by engaging them in dialogue with the intent of moving them closer to the point of sale. I like structure, but I have learned how to adapt. I look forward to bringing that balance to my work at Tesla."

"I'd say I know what to do and how to do it. I have the confidence and the skills required to do my job well, so I don't think too much about what comes to me naturally. In that regard, I guess I go with the flow."
