It can happen from time to time that your company's sales forecasts are a bit off. If this has happened to you in your career before, be sure to use that as an example. The hiring manager is looking for a reply that will show tenacity to try rather than deem the target impossible and give up as a result. It may not pan out well in the end, but the important part is that you exhausted all means to make it work.

"I have received very lofty sales targets before. Rather than treating the target as impossible, I will break it down a bit and tackle parts of it at a time. I like the challenge, so I would definitely treat the target as attainable unless proven otherwise. If I do find parts of it that are absolutely unattainable, then I will work with my superior to redefine it."
