The interviewer wants to know how effectively you will work under different kinds of managers. It's likely that they are assessing whether or not you will fit into their company under their current sales manager. It's fine to give your honest opinion here, but it's also a good idea to indicate that you are adaptable and coachable.
"I have experienced several different types of management styles to date. No matter how my manager operates and supervises, I adjust myself accordingly. For example, in my last role, I worked for someone who was very autocratic. In general, he wasn't open to employee ideas or feedback, and he would constantly check in on the status of projects. Recognizing this, I communicated frequently with him so he was fully aware of what I was doing and all the details surrounding it. If he disliked anything and made this known, I would adjust my plan accordingly. I have also worked for managers who were more collaborative and trusting. This is my preference: tell me what to do and then trust me to independently move forward and get the job done. While this is what I prefer, I am capable of successfully working under any type of manager."
