How do you maintain focus on your sales and work throughout the day?
Your response to this question will speak to your ability to work independently. Without direct supervision, the interviewer wants to know that you will be able to stay on task during the workday.
Provide examples of how you structure your day, including breaks to check in with your supervisor or for lunch. If your daily routine usually includes a mid-morning snack or an afternoon coffee that revitalizes you, these simple details provide fun and memorable insight into who you are!
Avoid mentioning breaks to perform personal tasks like taking personal calls or checking social media. The Interviewer wants to know that these things are NOT important parts of your workday!
"I find that I'm most focused in the morning so I do the work that requires the most mental work then. I make sure my phone is on do not disturb while I'm on sales calls so that interruptions are limited. I also like to make sure I have a small snack and an afternoon coffee each day to boost my energy levels and remain focused!"

I maintain focus by periodically checking in with my supervisors throughout the day and making sure I am utilizing good time management each hour. I usually drink an afternoon coffee while completing paperwork, and use more mental clarity during the morning hours.
