Interviewers like to know that the person they decide to hire isn't going to up and leave after a year. They ask this question to get a sense of whether you plan to stay long-term with the company or not. Your answer will also show them how serious you are about sales.
"I'm early on in my career, but by this point, I am certain that sales is the right path for me. I am resilient and outgoing by nature, and I love to talk on the phone. I don't give up easily or take things personally. I also like to lead others and gained some experience doing that in college. So I'm happy cutting my teeth at the junior level right now, but in five years I would hope to have moved up in the sales ranks and have begun mentoring those below me. Eventually, I'd like to be promoted to a sales manager role."
