How often do you meet your sales goals?

"Exceeding my sales goals is very important to me. I take my KPI's and exceed those first, which almost always results in me exceeding the financial targets set forth by my company. For instance, rather than performing 100 cold calls per week, I will perform 150. Instead of meeting the bare minimum for in-person current client visits, I will double the number. All of these actions ensure that I beat my targets nearly every week, by at least 20%."

The interviewer is looking for details on the successes in your sales career. Come to your interview prepared to discuss your sales targets, and results, over the past year or so. You need to be able to show the interviewer that you have a consistent record of winning! The more numbers and percentages you can offer, the better.

"I have tracked my sales weekly, for the past two years, and have records that I can show you as well. I perform consistently in the top 3 for my district, ranging from 98%-125% to goal. I am a high-achiever who always keeps my eye on the prize!"
