Though sales associates at Urban Outfitters don't work on commission, there are still opportunities for friendly competition between other stores in the district and region. Tell the interviewer about your experience in competitive environments, whether that means racing others to achieve the highest sales, working towards a promotion, or trying to win a new contract. Show the interviewer that you rose to the challenge and that you were excited to push yourself to be the best. It is a definite plus if you have cheered on your competitors and helped them along the way. Be sure to mention any successful outcome.

"My current sales position is highly commission-based, so my colleagues and I are quite competitive. Even though we compete, we have a great work environment where we help each other when someone is struggling to meet their quota. We coach each other on sales techniques and share success stories. The result has been a positive work environment with healthy competition."

The most competitive work situation I have experienced included collecting new customer emails daily. Due to my success in this circumstance, I received Employee of the Month and Employee of the Week several times.

Awesome! It's great you backed your claim with mention of rewards. If you can recall the number of emails you collected on average, that's a good number to include in your response.
