QUESTION 27 OF 30

Let's imagine that one day you end up in a conflict with one of your colleagues. How will you handle this?

As a business development representative, you will work on a team that likely meets on a daily basis and shares common goals. It's also possible that your manager will encourage some healthy competition between yourself and your teammates in order to motivate people to close demos and deals. At some point, you might end up in a conflict with someone else. Explain to the interviewer how you will effectively handle this.

"If I end up in a disagreement with someone else, the first thing I will do is ask to meet with them privately so we can each share our perspectives. I will strive to actively listen so I can understand their opinions and feelings. If I owe someone an apology, I'll be quick to say I'm sorry so we can move on. In general, though, I'd focus on finding a compromise so that we each feel that our needs have been met. If we're unable to come to a resolution ourselves, I would approach our manager and ask for their input."
