The interviewer wants to see what you do to keep track of your monthly goals. They want to know that you can adjust and adapt even if you fall behind during the month.

Do not share that you have never had a bad sales month as that is not true even all the best businesses have bad months. Avoid sharing that you do not track your sales.

Judy Smith

Discuss how you keep track of your monthly goals. Share what you do to make up when you run behind.

"There are times when I have fallen behind in the month and are not on track midway through. This happened to me a few months ago when I had around 21,000 left for my monthly quote and had 10 days left in the month. I took 21,000 and divided it by eight so that I could hit my goal before the month was over and would not fall behind again."
