This question is fundamental to ask if you are interviewing for a sales-based role or if you will be working in a leadership function. Will your future employer set your goals and targets from past data and results, or will they pull out unachievable numbers from thin air, expecting you to reach them?

If the interviewer cannot give specific examples of how your success is measured, you should ask to see previous blind reports from others in the role before accepting a position. How your performance is measured and communicated is enough to make or break you in your new job, which is why you should be adamant when it comes to pursuing this information!
