25. What sales experience or training do you have? Would you be willing to get additional sales training?
How to Answer
As a Personal Trainer, you must promote yourself. Working in a gym environment, you will need to talk with members about why they will benefit from sessions with you. If you have no sales experience, respond with an enthusiastic, 'Yes, I would be happy to get some training!' Prepare for your interview by thinking about how you would sell your services. Think about how you would approach a client and how you would talk about your training sessions.

Answer Example
"I have never had any formal sales training, but I would be happy to learn. The only experience I have in sales is at the last gym I worked. When signing up new members, I would offer them a free training session, showing them the different packages I offer. I had 80% sign up after the first session, and I am proud of my success rate."
