10. What was the most successful sales project you worked on?
How to Answer
Success in sales engineering can be attributed to many aspects, such as the dollar value of the sale, its complexity, or the value of the new client relationship, among others. A successful answer will outline the prospect's need, the reason you consider it to be successful, and the result of the project. Talk about how you facilitated the project and led it to success.
Answer Example
"I have had many successful projects in my career, but my favorite one was the $5M project I closed with Company XYZ. They were my biggest client to date. From the beginning, I knew that the new software we were able to roll out was a perfect fit for them. I worked tirelessly with the client and our development team. The and the deadline was tight because we were up against a giant competitor. Not only was I able to meet all of my client's expectations, but I was also awarded top sales engineer of the year. Because the relationship was so successful, I was able to use that experience as a case study for prospecting new clients."
