QUESTION 30 OF 30

What motivates you to perform your best?

The interviewer wants to find out what drives you to work hard and be successful. For the account manager position, the interviewer will likely want to hear that you're motivated by human connections since that's such a big part of this role. Whereas a person strictly in sales might be driven by commissions (money), and this may be one of your internal motivators too, an account manager tends to be motivated by solving problems and building trusting relationships with others.

"The reason I'm cut out to be an account manager is because I genuinely enjoy helping and getting to know clients. Many of them honestly become friends of mine; I build trusting and long-term relationships with them. During our talks, I find out what business challenges they are dealing with, and nothing pleasures me more than when I can offer them a solution to their problem(s). I always stay up on new product features so I can educate the clients and potentially solve issues for them."

"I am a strong self-motivator. I am passionate about the role and find great joy in being successful. Engaging and leading a team to success and creating long-lasting business relationships with individuals from all walks of life are also powerful motivators for me. I find a sense of purpose in my work. Knowing that my hard work will help me achieve professional goals and watching my company grow is the ultimate motivator for me."
