The interviewer wants to know how much experience you have working with the type of product the company sells. The more experience you have with this kind of product, the easier it'll be for you to hit the ground running when you start working there - and the interviewer knows this. If you have sold or worked with similar products in the past, definitely let the interviewer know. If you lack experience in this area, talk about your willingness and eagerness to learn.
"I've been selling products that are similar to yours for the past five years. In my most recent role, I developed an in-depth understanding of the products we sold by taking the time to learn about them and then staying abreast of all new features. If you hire me, I will do the same here. To be an effective account manager, I need to know and understand all aspects of the product so I can expand accounts by upselling or cross-selling your products."
Brittany Payne is a recruiter with over five years of experience interviewing and hiring hundreds of candidates.
"While I do not have the knowledge of this particular product, I do, however, have experience in several other similar products. For the past 5 years, I have worked diligently learning the particulars and training on upcoming products. I am passionate about learning and eager to become more familiar as the industry is ever-changing."
