The interviewer is asking for your take on how much training you will need if you join the team. They want to hear your opinion on where your not-so-strong points are so they can be sure that they have the support in place to make you a successful team member.

Your response to this question will vary greatly depending on how much relevant experience you have in the field.
If you feel you are well versed and ready to go on day one, let the interviewer know you will need time to learn the new company's procedures, goals, and the entirety of their portfolio. Medical devices are not something you want to explain incorrectly!
If you have a little less experience, you may want to tell the interviewer that you'd really like to have a peer or mentor that you know you can go to with questions and for support, in addition to your supervisor. If there are any certifications you need to perform your job functions, make sure to tell your Interviewer you will need to get those quickly as well!

Even if you are a seasoned sales professional, avoid telling the interviewer that you will not need any training or additional learning. With every new role, there are new systems and processes to learn. It is important that you present yourself as willing to learn new things and adapt to company protocol!

"If possible, I'd love to have a peer or colleague that I can go to with any questions that pop up after my initial training period ends. I've found that once I'm fully immersed in a role, I think of questions that I didn't know to ask during training."

I think that after training, observing peers or colleagues would be most important to me. I like to see the different selling styles and understand the different conversational environments, especially when it comes to closing a sale that I can build from.

Great! The interviewer will appreciate that you can anticipate what you'll need when you're first hired. Can you talk about a time when observing peers helped you be successful?

I am prepared to realize that this will be a learning experience for me, as it is a career change. I am looking forward to all training and education that I can receive when starting the position. I will rely on other coworkers and mentors to help guide me along the way.
