The interviewer wants to know the attributes that you value most in a Sales Associate. They also want to know that you possess these characteristics yourself. Discuss what you believe to be the most important characteristic for a Sales Associate to have, why you believe it to be true, and then talk about how you embody that characteristic.
Some ideas to get you started:
- Trustworthy
- Accountable
- Committed
- Results-oriented
- Detailed
- Driven
- Strong Negotiator
- Reliable
All of these attributes are valuable in a sales setting!

"I believe that a Sales Associate needs to be a good listener and a solid communicator so they can ask the right questions of their customer and make truly educated product and service suggestions. I have been working to hone my skills in verbal communication and have educated myself on asking great questions that lead to a sale."
