Product specialists are sometimes presented with several different product proposals and asked to select the one they feel will be most successful or which they prefer to work on. You should be able to describe to the interviewer how you will evaluate the programs and what criteria you use to select and recommend the ones you will move forward with. Keep your answer brief and to the point and anticipate that the interviewer will ask a follow-up question if they need additional information or want to explore your answer in more detail.

"When evaluating alternative product proposals to decide which one to proceed with, my first inclination is to determine which of the proposals has the greatest chance of success and will likely lead to the organization achieving its business objectives. I then evaluate the resources, time, and funding needed to develop and successfully market a product. Finally, I consider my experience working with similar products and how this will apply to each proposal. I then select and recommend the product that fulfills these criteria the best."
