As a sales engineer, you will need to deal with differing opinions from time to time. Cite an example of a time when you were able to successfully manage conflict in your career. Include ways in which you were able to respond calmly and objectively.

"I am generally very adept at managing conflict. One example that I can give you is quite recent. Last month I had a client who had been over-billed in error. They were quite upset with the oversight as they are a long-term client. I reassured them that our billing department would review their previous invoices to ensure this was a one-time incident. It turned out very well, and they appreciated my transparency and willingness to solve the problem immediately."
